Strengths

  • Makes full use of his size and play strength in one-on-one battles.
  • Owns his space and defender’s space when catch is contested.
  • Magnificent timing and extension to snare throws up the ladder.
  • Uses subtle hand fighting to create late landing space for the throw.
  • Powerful hands create added catch security with or without contact.
  • Sneaky burst gear propels vertical separation and run-after-catch speed.
  • Capable combatant when asked to do his part as a blocker.

Weaknesses

  • Can win the catch phase, but the release and route phases lack polish.
  • Tennessee’s tight press-man coverage was all over him for much of the game.
  • Rushes through route design rather than selling it to the cornerbacks.
  • Below-average quickness getting in and out of his breaks.
  • Hits cruise control and waits for jump balls rather than keeping foot on the gas.

Ok, didn’t give up anything really, dropped our 5th to a 6th. I guess they were afraid of the Bills taking him. I’m fine with him. Now gimme JPJ or Cooper or a CB at 39 😏 

Dropped top of 5th to bottom of 6th right? Dumb I prefer the guy from TX

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I think it's short sighted to judge a QB or HC in a vacuum. They both need good players to be successful. That's the GM's role. And he's young in his role too. His general experience in the league gives him a bit of an advantage/perspective that everyone doesn't have. But he still has to perfect his role as a GM.  But whether they're good or not, they are young in their roles. That is the point I was making. Could they be better at what they do? Of course. But it's hard to have early success when you have so many major areas still figuring out how to do their jobs at the same time. Asking a QB to pass for 4000 yards when neither of his 2 best WRs have played a full season is a tall task. Asking a HC to be an effective HC while he's calling plays when he's only done it for 3 years, and he has a young roster is a tall ask. Especially with a roster with so many holes and lack of talent. But that young label is definitely coming to its end. It's about time to start showing major improvements on offense, defense and coaching. Dan has had 3 drafts/offseasons to improve the roster. Dave has had 2 training camps. Bryce has had 3 seasons, though that first season was a pretty tough situation for anyone to learn, let alone have success. The QB is on the hotseat. Mostly because it's pay up or shut up time. He's ran out of time. Doesn't matter if he has reasons or not.  Not getting into the other stuff. Too many layers to pull back.
