Yup. But with this "blow up" he is averaging the following:

3.16 catches a game on 5.67 targets per game, for 32.5 yards per game. 

552.5 yards for the year on 96.39 targets and 53.72 catches is what he is on pace for. This doesn't seem bad but when you compare it to the other rookie WRs he's sandwiched between its not as good. But this is his first game over 50 yards and he still has no TDs so we are hoping his performance today was a sign of greater things.

It doesn’t if that’s the best game. I want to see more but I always hoped he would step up because I don’t think TMJ is good. TMJ had a few ok games where the D seemed to lose him for one deep ball a game. Too many people bought that hype and then in his last 6 games where we went 4-2, he did almost nothing. It would be nice to see Mingo keep improving the rest of the year, especially if we get ourselves a handful more wins so we don’t here about the pick we traded every few seconds at the start of the 20/4 draft.

Mingo worries me I don’t want my receivers coming out of college as a senior without really blowing a season up. There’s not a very good track record there of players becoming elite IMO

Not every receiver needs to be elite. You don't necessarily want to spend a 2nd rounder on a guy that just turns into a lower-end #2 or solid #3, but how long has it been since Carolina even had one of those? If Mingo gets to that point then it's still a win.

Don't think anyone said it was a blow up. He had a good game..I think the problem is most of this fan base lacks the understanding that it takes time for guys to develop. And even then it requires the proper conditions for it to happen. Players have historically been slow to reach their potential in Charlotte.

Give the dude some props.

Hearing ya I don’t believe now or back at the draft that he was worth a 2nd. He was a 3rd round guy in my books same a Lafell was I believe could be wrong

I am with you. I am trying to find examples of college WRs not putting up big numbers in college and then having really good long careers that weren't things like a QB switching to WR in the NFL.

DK Metcalf? I think the combine sold him.

He was definitely an outlier stat wise. But you’re right with that size and speed combo but also adding that he came out as a sophomore. Which you wouldn’t think would play a massive part in WR success but most analytic models I’ve heard take that strongly into consideration

A 65 yard game is not the game to hang your hat on but it’s the best game of his career so far. 

Very accurate.
 

That said, given the season we’ve had, being able to mention a receiver not named AT in a positive light is something to hang your hat on. personally I’ll take it at this point.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
