obviously PFF so grain of salt etc 

Top right: lots of separation, good yac/hands. 

bottom left: can’t get open, drops everything/does nothing with the ball

just eyeballing it

Thielen: top 15 ish % overall. @NAS not to call you out, just something we were discussing the other day. Thielen is having a fantastic year by rate. 

Coker: slightly below avg separation, above avg hands/yac

XL: sucks

Diontae Johnson: only thing more difficult than covering him is medicating him

David Moore: not a bad piece, for what is ideally a number 4 receiver.

also Christ philly win a Super Bowl already.

Thielen has been excellent this year. Defenses know that he's Bryce's first read on any critical conversion and they still aren't usually able to stop it.

There’s a very easy explanation for this: veteran presence 

and by that I mean the presence of his arms pushing defenders away 

not to mention him just straight taking out other defenders on crossing routes  

i love it

He's fun to watch - so is Coker, but for different reasons. 

I think some fans seriously underestimate how important Thielen is to this offense.

There was definitely no missing XL on Sunday.

I think people are really underestimating how bad XL has been. 

I think the disappointment in him has been offset by the excitement in Coker. Offsetting a potential mistake with our first pick with a gem undrafted FA is a wash. 

imagine if they both develop into solid starters

Play calling is also better than last year. Look at AT’s separation last year vs this year. DC is drawing up plays to get him open as he should be. Hopefully we finally found ourselves a solid HC. As for XL, I’m not too worried. He has flashed some potential which is what I expected from him year 1. He was never going to be a plug and play WR.

Man we are really playing with fire. AT will be what? 33 next year? He’s great this year no doubt but you hit a wall in the NFL with age and when it comes it hits HARD. XL I’m not writing off but he hasn’t been good this year. Coker, great find by us but he’s a nice complementary piece. 
 

we need to look long and hard at trading for garret Wilson or going WR first round

    • You are engaging in nothing but long winded semantics.   I could argue I fit Canales offense, disregard I’m horrific and can’t do anything at this level. Bryce Young doesn’t fit if he can’t make the throws an offense requires/needs outside of outlier examples.  the proof is in the pudding.  But given you just want to argue everyone is wrong and attempt to claim no position poorly….and that now all stats backing everyone’s pointless are irrelevant…..you are just tiresome.  Please declare yourself ultimate victor and feel free to ignore my posts.  Bryce Young doesn’t fit most traditional NFL offense’s because he lacks the tools and throws for them to operate at a standard that would please anyone outside of a small segment of the Panthers fanbase and his parents. 
    • I feel beyond dirty at what I think is the correct answer....like sorting coke off buffalo wings bathroom floor while the nickel back cover band has 60 year swinger couples dancing on a raining night at 1:37 am...
    • We have to have the worst LB group in the league. I'm confident it will be a top priority in the draft. I just hope we are done drafting "projects" in the top rounds. We aren't good enough to be drafting projects, we just need dudes who can play football.
