David Clowney, K Moore, or Guy?

Im thinking Jarrett will finally be released after his second DWI. So the question is who will take his spot. Gantt says he thinks Clowney fits with our offense, and normally he doesnt talk about other Wr's. Easiest to pick would be Moore, but I think I would want Guy over Moore. And I think Clowney would be the best over all three. He is a fast guy and if we got him today he could share time with Edwards on sunday and give our third WR some speed down the field.

well, I wont say your wrong, but he didn't get any where near the amount of chances Jarrett has here. His first year he sat on the practice squad. Second year he hurt his collarbone, played in two games with one catch, then last year he played in 13 games and caught 14 balls, 191 yards long of 53 and a td. no starts.

lol well that doesn't work with comparing to Jarrett either. Jarrett looks like an all star WR in practice. Unfortunately thats the only time. There are guys that are good in practice and suck in game, and guys who suck in practice and do good in game. Maybe Clowney is the opposite of Jarrett but never got many chances for how he looked on the practice field.

Clowney has at least made some plays in NY before being released. He is who I would go with. Does it really matter though with Davidson only calling 7-8 passing plays in some halves? If they were thinking of opening it up a bit then I'd be concerned but it doesn't appear that way.

Clowney is a legit deep threat. His draft stock fell cuz he lost production his senior year to Eddie Royal and Josh Morgan, 2 players making plays elsewhere in the league.

The only knock is, he got cut by the Packers initially (which is where WRs go to gain insane production) then got picked up by the Jets for a couple years and then had trouble getting on the field because of the crowded WR corp they have now(meaning they wanted more from him). and Unlike Moore and Guy.. he's made a couple plays in preseason AND the regular season.

    • What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
