You only get one shot.  Palms are sweaty.  Mom's spaghetti.

I hope that's his attitude.

frankly, I wouldn't even listen to the coach if I was Plummer about being safe.  I'd be instantly moving to the route in the progression that offered the biggest play.  I'd totally take the go big or go home approach.  This fanbase is so starved for big plays....he would be an instant favorite.

Its not even really about that.  This is an audition for the other 31 NFL teams too.  If I'm him, I'm taking every big throw that looks remotely open.  If he goes out there and goes 12/15 for 63 yards, nobody's signing him.

I predict Jalen Coker goes off for at least 80 yards and a TD and that Andrew Raym looks pretty good as a back up center and then the whole Huddle calls for him to be the starter and wonders why he's getting no reps at practice as the only true center on the team.

I'm fairly certain if he does that once or twice he's going to be pulled, cut, and unlikely to find a team afterwards.

Not because he's throwing deep and that's taboo or any other dismissive reasoning, but because he's looking to promote himself rather than playing with the team.

That's pretty common in preseason.  Fringe guys are usually trying to make a big play and get noticed.  I don't think anyone's getting blacklisted from the league for throwing downfield vs single coverage in the preseason.

Receivers are trying to make the team or get big plays on film too.

If a 3rd string QB is going to go deliberately against the play call, they're not going to be trusted nor are they going to get many opportunities afterwards.

I mean, if he is operating within the playcall.....and making the plays?   That's literally what he is supposed to do. 

But yeah, if he goes down in a blaze of glory he probably gets cut.  But he has no future going 8-14 for 42 yards on bullshit throws in reality anyway.  Too big of a long shot.  I mean, promoting himself is basically what this opportunity is and should be for him.   It's the NFL.

No one said that though. That's different.  I said he should quickly go to the routes in the progression to the ones with the biggest play potential.

If the play call is to make his progressions and he skips to the ones that makes the biggest play as you suggested then that is not what the coaches called.

His first job is to execute the offense and he's not doing that if he's immediately looking to the go routes that are designed to clear a defender for the passing concept designed on the play. He would not be giving the staff the ability to evaluate the rest of the talent on the roster because he'd be too busy looking out for himself if doing what you suggested.

If fans want to be entertained by the play calling, they should check out Fan Controlled Football (FCF) instead of gaslighting themselves by demanding that an NFL team calls the plays that they want. I'd hate to be QB3 in a locker room where I wasn't getting my teammates the looks that were called for them in preseason. Especially if that was because I was too busy looking out for myself and throwing it on the deepest route every play, progressions be damned.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
