Luvu / Chinn….. why did we let them go again?

Luvu wanted to leave and was not going to stay no matter what. Can't blame him.

No one in Carolina could figure out how to properly use Chinn and he sure wasn't a fit for Evero's cloud-soft whatever it is. Chinn had options from other teams and ultimately chose Washington due to scheme fit - the attacking style is working out well for him. I'm still not convinced his best fit isn't as a WLB/SUBLB but Washington seems to have him as close to his rookie performance as anyone thus far.

I honestly don't buy the "fit" arguments. Good coaches find ways to use good players. Tailor your "system" to fit your players. Any semi-competent coach looks good if he has all the right pieces.

No real disagreement, but it's fair to say that some players just aren't built for certain assignments. That can certainly be a condemnation of the coach.

I agree to a point, but certain schemes in theory and on the field play to a player's strengths and makes him look good. That's what the draft and FA acquisitions are all about. Of course some players can thrive in any scheme, but I can't say that Chinn is one of them.

Luvu had the open market he wanted to test, and honestly, it seemed like he was preferential to elsewhere even if the money was similar. 

Chinn was the 2020 runner-up DROY.  His type of talent doesn't just not fit but I guess the 2 high shell isn't optimal - we just couldn't use him the way Snow did.  He's a fit with the now more hybrid-Cover 3 defense Quinn deploys.

I do.

That said, there are plenty of coaches who talk about tailoring their scheme to fit their players (hell, even Rivera said that) but when push comes to shove they're either too stubborn to actually try or just plain don't know how.

Evero could be one of those.

      Maybe, but a player can also bust for a lot of reasons.  And I'm not about to go look up the stats of all the 1st round WR busts, but I'd be surprised if they had the sustained output and success in college that T-Mac had.  Those early WR busts are usually guys who had one breakout season and then were highly drafted because of physical potential, not already built out ability. I'm not even saying T-Mac is 100% going to have a better career than Chark (although I obviously think he will). I'm just saying that right now, his skill level and ability is better than Chark's ever was, and I don't understand how anyone is arguing against that, not because of T-Mac, but because of who Chark himself was.   If you want to take the argument that you can't say ANY player who hasn't played a down yet can't be considered better than someone who has, then so be it (even though I'd say that's a dumb stance anyways). At his peak ability, Chark was more like a #3 WR than anything else, he was the definition of a league average WR.  If you don't think a Top 10 selected WR with his tape is better than that just because they haven't played in the NFL yet, then you're just stuck on the "he hasn't played a down yet" idea and can't evaluate them as players and abilities.

      And you would've probably said the same thing about a lot of highly drafted WRs who busted.
