Did the wide receivers magically get good?

Hoping it's rookie issues and hoping that will improve some next season. 

He looks like TMJ 2.0 to me. Same guy, basically. And this is while being the second most targeted receiver on the season. By a VERY wide margin.

I definitely realize some of our offensive issues are impacting every aspect of the team but in the two games we have thrown for over 300 yards(SEA and GB) he has 4 rec for 40 yards. So it is almost always other guys finally getting off, not him(he was the 5th and 6th best WR in those two games). 

Furthermore, he has absolutely zero elite attributes. He barely has any that are NFL average. He was a workout warrior guy. Just like TMJ.

I hope he doesnt have TMJ's heart or edge about him. If he inherited TMJ's heart there will definitely be trouble. If he has heart and willing to put some work in all I can hope is that he improves.

I think the heart question has largely been answered. He quits on routes or gives lackadaisical effort on occasion. He isn't a TMJ level slug but he doesn't add anything that 100 other FA JAG's couldn't.

The biggest upgrade this offseason has to be at his position. Move him down to #4 or #5 and hope he develops by the end of his rookie deal.

Chark has been showing up the last few weeks and it really did seem to click yesterday. He's missed a couple grabs the last couple weeks but is overall looked great or at least so much better than early in the season. 

Well he has been hurt a lot of the year....which is not super surprising

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
