Young and Coker were not in the 4 players named as best players nobody is talking about.

They were discussing Canales mostly. They said Young wasn't rock bottom anymore.

 

I think some are responding as of Coker and Young made their list.

I have no idea why Coker gets so much love around here. He may develop into something at some point, but he’s just not an impact player right now (yes, I know he had a long TD vs the Cowboys). People on here talk about him like he’s an all pro, then you watch the games and he’s nonexistent. I can’t remember a more overhyped player on the huddle.

I have no idea why people question why fans like underdogs

 I suppose it has to be obvious to some, but the title of this is "Players nobody is talking about." and your response is "everyone is talking about Coker."Regardless,  He is an Undrafted free agent whose numbers have surpassed or equaled what players drafted day 2 are doing.  He is a positive during a time when we have few positives. He has been injured too, btw, which might explain how you think he has been "nonexistent."  He has played in 9 games and has nearly 400 yards.   He was not drafted.  Keon Coleman (33rd pick overall) has played in 12 games and has 498 yards--with Buffalo--an established team with a pro bowl/MVP QB.  So I am not sure that you are grasping the value of Coker--which may explain your lack of appreciation for him.

Because he's all hands and attacks the ball by plucking it out from the air. I don't remember the last WR we had that did that.

It's Thielen.

 

BTW, Thielen is the perfect model for him to follow.

It’s a product of the team being so bad over the last 6-7 seasons. They haven’t developed players and they haven’t discovered the diamonds in the rough players. So when a player like Coker comes along, an UDFA rookie and makes an impact, of course the fans are going to be overly hyped. But the fact the Panthers found a WR who could contribute as an UDFA is something I can’t say they’ve had since what, Philly Brown?

      What a franchise QB looks like

      By strato · Posted

      3 years to figure it out and the answer has been the same every time.  Think they will try a different solution? Bryce and Andy lol. I hope so but it is hard to have any faith in them to do that.  The Cam stuff, I don’t think anyone is talking about that thinking he is a solution for 2026. Just wishing we had some of his ability at the position now.

      The time adjustment plus this weather might be the only leg up we get. Just run it 40 times between Rico and Chuba lol.

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      By strato · Posted

      My amateur opinion … It’s that footwork and his overall mechanics that stop him. Short sucks too but his accuracy and timing and velocity, all compromised by his technique.  Not enough natural arm strength there to overcome it. I am not sure what another year would do if he isn’t fixing that stuff. Or two years.  If he could have things straight and squared away he could maybe get enough out of his abilities to play consistently week to week.  He will still be limited by things like field vision and what someone pointed out this week that I had never noticed or considered - trajectory on really short near field throws like goal to go situations. They said the arc he needs to clear the d line guys is such a high angle that it is hard to get the ball back down soon enough. Which boy, that is a can of touch pass worms there if you think about it. Like shooting a basket where defenders can goal tend. You have to throw it so soft that defenders can close on it. Receivers would have to use their bodies to shield.   Then you are left with rolling out to see the field and get a lane, which shuts down half the the field and is easier to defend. It’s really tough. You go looking for negatives, or impediments, they are there to find.
