3. WR Jalen Coker, Carolina Panthers

Snaps Played: 430
PFF Grade: 72.8
Key Stat: 14.9 yards per reception (led team, 21st in NFL)

Coker is the only offensive player to make this list, as he became a legitimate weapon for the Panthers down the stretch. The playmaker from Holy Cross racked up 478 receiving yards en route to earning a 73.8 PFF receiving grade. His best highlight was an 83-yard touchdown against Dallas. He also displayed a knack for making contested catches, hauling in five of his eight opportunities. We should see Coker continue to develop alongside Bryce Young next season.

Coker is an example on how really knowing how to play the position can compensate for not having gifted athleticism.  That said, I still can't comprehend how he broke away on that long touchdown. Could just be an extra gear he only has going on a straight line.

He has real NFL WR abilities.

There's a reason why so many great receivers have come in mid/late rounds. Scouts and fans will overvalue raw metrics and potential while another guy who actually does the little things right get overlooked because their 40 time doesn't stand out. I'm hoping the success so far we've had with Coker will get our team to look for more guys like him going forward rather than guys like TMJ/Mingo.

You forgot the other 9.

I swear some people don't understand this.

Get in the endzone when you're inside the 5. Run past faster DBs when the ball is in the air. Jump over taller players to highpoint the ball. Never get tackled one on one in the open field. 

We used to call it "getting power from the ball." Now that I think about that...

It's a good thing we found him because that XL pick is looking pretty iffy at this point. I think Coker has high-end WR2/low-end WR1 potential. Sign Tee Higgins, put Coker on the other side, let Theilen work the slot and rotate XL into the game when he's not eating rodents and we might have something.

And he did not play the entire season.  (about 10-11 games or so)  Do the math.  His stats would haven been higher if you added 6 games--projecting him to about a 750-800 yard WR.  He was on the field for less than half of the offensive snaps.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
