He's just not a fit with Bryce. His strength is going deep. Bryce's biggest weakness is the deep ball.

Yeah not understanding some people who want vertical guys in the draft either. Just gonna be burning calories for nothing, Safeties aren't gonna be fooled by it to abandon the middle of the field.

How many passes over 35 yards are thrown a game? How many are completed? I feel like taking the shots are as important as hitting them, to keep the defense honest. The first step is to take more shots and calling plays/schemes that make them early reads in the progression. 

Fair enough.

However, the threat of a allowing a quick one if you screw it up, is there? Or is Not there? 

Big effect on the defender. An actual threat needs to exist.

This board is not very good at troubleshooting this issue.

Are the people having this issue on iPhone, Android, Windows, Mobile or PC, MacBook?

Chrome, Edge, Firefox?

And the people that it “just works” for after “a few seconds”, what are you using?

Clearly this is also Twitter vs X links related, but need more info on what y’all are using when it does/doesn’t work.

@TheSpecialJuanif they keep crapping on you about this (after many months of zero progress), please start a new thread about it and I’ll help troubleshoot it.  I’m in IT and I know good and well it’s not you, it’s a one-off technical glitch.

Haters gonna hate and then pile on.

Chark doesn't really move the needle much for me. Packers game was really the only time he caught everything whereas he seemed to drop every other big play chance he got.  Also the injury history and the fact that his statline for his Lions stint was quite similar albeit with one less start. 

500 yards and 3/5 TD plus unreliable availability? Yeah, I'd rather roll with a rookie.

He would have done well with Cam pre shoulder injury. With Bryce he’s just not going to get the ball deep enough for him

dj chark is no mike evans / dk Metcalf but canales does have good success with taller vertical deep threats

It's Elon Musk's fault.

No really, he threw that tantrum and wanted to rebrand twitter to x and the embed script is set to work with 'twitter.blahblah' links instead of 'x.blahblah' links.

We as mods don't have the permissions to edit the embed script, so as the great philosophizer John Fox once said:

46.1 yards. 

That's Youngs average of yards per catch with passes over 20 yards.  College yes.... proof he can still sling it. 

[pantherclaw]

Sounds like the receiver type that the Panthers are targeting, that Mingo won't have to worry about playing time.  He'll be looking for a new employer.   

All this coaching turnover has it's cost on player development.

He killed it with Williams in college. Bryce is gonna flip the narrative on him this year with a much better oline better weapons and competent coaching. He’s still the same player that most analysts loved 

Why do we need a vertical threat? Its like you guys just dont get it. 

The opposing D can stop their deep zones at 25 yards and never have to worry about Bryce throwing it over their heads.

Even if he does manage to get it over them, he only completes his deep passes at like 30% so nothing to even worry about.

The field is condensed with Bryce at QB and there is no way to get around it.

Completed at 36% in college lmao that translates to like 15-20% in the NFL, even Mac Jones was completing his deep shots at 50% in college.

Bryce is a bum, this season is not going to be any better, the only way we will win more games is by going run heavy and hiding Bryce.

This is the key, average starting corners makes $10M a year (see Jackson, Donte). Unless they regularly gets beat deep, as every talking head will find a pff-type stat "it's a concern he was was best deep three times last season" to sound smart.

We sometimes forget these guys are first and foremost looking out for themselves. And seeing a burner on the other side of the los will make everyone back off a little, regardless of what the coach said about the deep accuracy of the QB. And the cb like just as bad 5 yards behind the receiver even if the qb overshoots him by 10 yards.

While I appreciate the relationship with Bryce that Chark developed, I just didn't see enough production.  The backbreaking drops were the worst thing.  If he would come back on a 1 year min, great, but if I'm DJ, I go somewhere to try to prove I deserve a decent payday.  I'm not sure returning to the scene of the crime that was the 2023 offense is a good idea.

[Khyber53]

I just can't get excited or upset about it either way.
