Shouldn't They Try Some new WRs? 🤔

I'm getting sick and tired of seeing Mingo Chark and TMJ underperform. Why not give ISM and some other some chances? They're 1-8 what would they have to lose? Do they just not care?

Is there just no point given Bryce /o line can't do well enough to get the ball to them?

They are just going through the motions at this point. The white flag was waved furiously a while back. Maybe they try for a 65 yard field goal versus Dallas?

I warned people all off-season about our lack of talent at WR.

 

People kept talking about TMJ potential. The guy has shown nothing his entire career. Mingo is a unproven rookie.

 

The fact that Thielen is our best WR shows you just how bad we are at that position. I don't think Bryce is a superstar talent, but we have to get the guy something to work with on offense.

 

I like that Fitt tried to get Higgins and Adams at the trade deadline. At least they recognize we need a #1 WR. Also I'm thinking Tee Higgins will be out #1 priority in FA this off-season.

Strachan had a big 45 yard gain and one other target and I don't think he saw the field after that much.

 

There's also Smith-Marsette who has the athletic ability and speed but idk about his route running...because we haven't played him on offense.

 

We have a staff full of incompetence. Those two should be seeing the field regularly. Chark should get moved for some depth somewhere as he is useless.

Im going to give you credit where its due. You wanted Hopkins and some other top tier free agent WR's and I was one of the people who said we didnt need them but I was wrong and you were right so pie for you.

I want us to either trade for Aiyuk or sign Hollywood Brown this offseason. If we can sign Hollywood we should also draft a weapon early. Hollywood, AT, Tez (or another rookie), plus 2nd year Mingo is s solid group for Young to work with. Mingo can become our slot when AT is done.

The lack of YAC guys is what’s probably the most infuriating thing that mostly everyone could see going into the year.

We have 2 guys that have some YAC ability in Chark and Shenault and it’s like we refuse to even scheme them open. I mean, let’s run some simple concepts to get them space, shallow cross them for Bryce. Serve them something in the move.

Otherwise, I mean, what’s Shi Smith up to? Still on TEN’s PS? Might as well scan the FAs right now and see if there’s better options for Bryce.

I would keep putting Mingo out there since he is a rookie who needs this valuable playing time to see if he can develop into something. The rest of them besides AT, who really cares.

TMJ, I would just flat out cut his ass since he just doesn't seem to care or be motivated. He wants a trade but nobody wants to trade anything for him other than a stale bag of Takis. 

Chark, if you plan accordingly for him that he will play half the games each season maybe you can get some production out of him on another team that actually has competent coaching and a QB who isn't scared to push the ball down the field and actually has time to throw the ball with even a half way marginal line to block.

Shenault, I really like him and want it to work with him here but we can't seem to find ways to get him the ball as a gadget player. He does not seem like a WR who is someone that you can count on to expertly track a deep pass and take it all the way but he seems like he can be hell to deal with on shorter routes in some space. I would keep him around another year IF we could get ourselves coaches who are worth a poo and either Bryce gets over being a sub par QB or we get a QB who has the physical skills and mindset to QB and NFL team sort of like Stroud seems to have naturally.

I would say TMJ should be replaced immediately with anyone willing to work hard and show a little heart, Mingo keep.olayimg since it's a throw away year and see if he can develop into a consistent good WR, Shenault, keep if we plan to fire all our scrub ass coaches and get real coaches otherwise let him go find a real NFL team that actually wants to win to see if he can develop, AT is just fine keep him, and I don't even know who else we have.....

Remember how Thielen would provide veteran leadership in the WR room and elevate those around him?

Dude has been way too busy carrying the room to do any coaching.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
