Pick 6 was 100% on Mingo

Explain that then? Without saying “other receivers were open.” Mingo was open. Mingo drifted upfield and literally gift wrapped him a touchdown. I put pictures for god sakes. Support your argument.

Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

But seriously, it's a YAC route. It's not a comeback. Did Mingo drift a little? Yeah. Would it matter if Bryce didn't throw at the velocity of a child? No. It got picked because Bryce can't generate velocity, not because the receiver drifted one yard down the field. If Mingo doesn't drift that yard at best it's a broken up pass. It might have still gotten picked. And Tremble is still wide open because of a completely busted coverage.

Re read the post. Then read it again. It was not the right decision. But no way that pass should have been a pick 6. That is on Mingo.

That ball was thrown like it was covered in molasses. I knew as soon as it was thrown that it was getting picked. 

If Cam Newton was throwing that pass, it would have been caught because he throws lasers.

Mingo is literally just running his route. It wasn't a comeback route where he's supposed to be breaking back to the ball. It's a route designed for YAC. The throw is supposed to lead him so he can run away from the defender. The throw actually wasn't awful in terms of location. It's just the Bryce's lack of velocity allowed the defender to undercut it and pick it off. Bryce's biggest issue is lack of physical talent. You can work on footwork. You can work on decision making. You can work on reading defenses and protection calls. You can't work on sheer physical talent. It just is what it is.

Reality  I guess... Keep wishing on a star...

Go back and read the edit. You're desperately reaching to cover for you guy, man. 

You had to go edit the post bc you didn’t think to talk about football first. Mingo drifted 2 entire yards upfield. I am not saying it was a great throw. I am not saying it was the right decision. And you are right, it probably would have been a short gain or an incompletion. But that should never have ended up as a pick 6.

We can talk about players other than Bryce sucking. With average receiver play that was a null play. With Mingo it is a touchdown for the other team.

Mingo definitely didn’t help matters. You cannot drift in that scenario and he did. It’s just another example of him not understanding sh!t. It’s crazy the amount of snaps he’s getting

With that said if you’re going to throw that ball and especially to Mingo it 1000% needs to be put out in front of him

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
