Mclaurin is his best wr no doubt 82 rec 12 tds good year for sure and would be comparable to Theilen for a  qb

Ertz - eh, pretty basic for a te a 13 year vet that has gone over 1000 once.  Meh

Brown - gtfo 30 catches this year

crowder - 9 whole catches.  Holy poo he moves the needle

Robinson/eckler - 55 catches between the 2 - come on man

 

daniels has put this team on his back and won despite having one legit weapon

Here you go again. You've obviously never watched them play before. These guys are proven playmakers except for maybe Dyami, but he's a speed guy stuck behind a really good receiving corps. He's getting more opportunities now that Curtis Samuel and Jahan Dotson are gone. 

McLaurin is Thielen huh? Bro just stop. This is a bad look.

Its sad that you even had to break this down, I love how people just throw out names without even checking the stats. 

You're right I didn't check the stats. I just watched the game - for years for a lot of those players I named. The only one that doesn't start or get significant playing time here is maybe Dyami. And he's probably the fastest in the group. Definitely faster game speed than any player in Carolina. 

And yes. Robinson and Ekeler would play a lot. They can do things Chuba can't. Chuba is more consistent though.

Chuba had 43 catches.  Roughly 10 less then both those dudes combined.    But please keep posting

They've gotten some solid production out of Olamide Zaccheaus and Noah Brown as well, but yea McLaurin, Ertz, and Ekeler alone are proven NFL playmakers. All three of those guys are savvy vets that are great security blankets for a rookie QB.

I'm interested to see if Jayden can continue making plays with his legs after leading the team in rushing this season because that's going to be a tough wrinkle for opposing DCs to deal with.

I think he can but I don't want him to. They're playing him a lot like RG3. That didn't work so well. He's a better passer than Griffen was and should only run on scrambles. 

Been watching the Redskins/Commanders since 2003 when I moved to the area. Jamison is the most elusive of the group, just getting a little older. Dyami is the burner. They have a great group that compliments each other.

You are a piece of work. You really are.

But why do you feel the need to insult? Usually that's due to a lack of intelligence. I really shouldn't indulge, but...

In a down year Ekeler has 35 receptions for 366 yards. His lowest yards receiving since his rookie year in 2017 when he only had 279. Chuba has 43 for 171. His second best for his career. His best is 233 last year. Ekeler's best was 993. He averages over 500 yards receiving a year over his 8 years career. He's a receiving back. Something Chuba isn't. 

But again that's just stats. Chuba is a more consistent runner than both Ekeler and Robinson. Robinson is faster than Chuba and Ekeler is a better receiving back. This is a bad look for you. You should stop.

Ekeler was a mini prime CMC for many years. Cost wise he was the better contract by far. Like scary terry he's been super under rated for years.

Ekeler isn't the runner out of the backfield CMC is though. He makes his money catching the ball. And yes he is much much more affordable. Terry McLaurin is the real deal. He has always been a true #1 and never complained. Just worked. Now he's being rewarded with Daniels. I'm so happy for that dude. He deserves all the success he gets.

You can argue about Jayden Daniels weapons but he is absurdly efficient with the ball for a rookie. He has the 2nd highest number of pass attempts in the playoffs and sits at 69.7 completion percentage. He's exceptionally rare. Now the question is how far will he go and will he be able to sustain this in his sophomore season.

Yes ekeler was a all-purpose monster. He had like two contracts in a row, well below his value. Scary terry is like Smitty dealing with sub-par QB and still put up big numbers.

McLaurin is more complete than AT and I may be the biggest AT nuthugger on the Huddle.  He really seems like a true #1

Yeah McLaurin is on a different level than AT. McLaurin has broken 1000 yards 5 years in a row and only didn’t his rookie year where he broke 900 so 5/6 of his years he broke 1000. I think AT broke 1000 3 out of 11 years… One is younger and just plain better. 
Not trying to take from Daniels though. He is a rookie phenom with loads of talent.

No one would argue against Daniels as a complete QB. He's playing at an elite level, rookie or not.

But it does help when you can throw a screen to your WR in the playoffs and it goes 58 yards for TD. He's made some passes he shouldn’t have but was bailed out by his receivers. Usually McLaurin. 

If they don't start doing crazy ish with his weapons and just upgrade his oline in the draft, he'll be elite for a long time. 

Edit: and stop running him so much on designed runs. Let him decide if he should run.

    • this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.  
    • The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.
    • My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
