Pretty much spot on analysis of the selection.  Maybe he works out but appears super slow quick area speed, and seems like the panthers would have benefited more from the penn te 

Biggest reasons I didn't like the pick

1. this draft is super deep at WR. 

2. Lost of people including myself had him as the 3rd WR behind Golden and Hunter. No value in the top ten taking Tet. 

3. This draft isn't very deep on 3-4 front seven players and could've gotten a high end prospect for a 3-4 front at 8.

He didn't give it to himself. His friends gave it to him.

yeah, that's my point.  His friends gave it to him.  He didn't pick it.  We aren't his friends. 

He will be a football player for the Carolina Panthers.  NFL fans likely will appoint him a nickname at some point or maybe they won't.  Nicknames are just weird things.  Some dude was called freaking Cornbread in college.  No one called him that here to my knowledge.

Most of those stats came against significantly weaker players, exactly like I said. Despite the fact that TH covered him more than anyone else, he had only 3 catches for 15 yards against TH. Yes, one of those catches was a TD, on a absolutely perfect pass in a super tiny window because TMac couldn't actually get separation.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Here is every snap, including Hunter getting DPI twice against him. It also shows him getting open regularly and his QB just missing it.

So call him what you want.

To be fair a lot of others had him as the clear cut #1 WR and top 10 overall player.

Yeah, we are going to disagree here.  Thats nonsense

XL made a TON of sense.....because he fit what Canales did in Tampa and Seattle.  And we drafted XL when most folks that Bryce Young era was likely about to end.  Nothing nonsensical about acknowledging what Canales has always been about/around (and how his draft picks fit that)......and how Bryce Young at no point in time when we drafted him was billed for fitting such an offense.   It was all PG quick distributor talk.  Which meant YAC players around him and getting the ball out with his super brain.  

XL and Tmac struggle getting open quickly.  They are more suited for a chunk play team that is playing off the run and sets up for WR to have time to get open downfield (which is the Canales tree).  Which is what Canales is basically drafting. 

Square peg/round hole.  It's not nonsense.  It's the Tepper era.

Teams are just going to press the fug out of us and simply take away our run game as a result

Highest I've seen him was PFF at 4 which is silly. Didn't see anyone else have a top ten grade on him. 

Brugler has him at 12 with him being WR1. I trust his opinion more than most. Picking the 12th best player and top of his position at 8 isn’t that crazy. He actually had him mocked to us in some of his drafts.

I will say this. He fits Dave Canales offense to a T... Which means he doesn't fit what Bryce is historically known for doing well. So even though Bryce asked for him, it's even more evidence that Bryce is going to be expected to run Canales offense from Tampa.

To be clear WR2. Hunter is CB1 but clearly WR1 as well.

But I agree with your sentiment.  Brugler and Mays were talking about him compared to last year and confidently said he would have gone ahead of BTJ, maybe Odunze (or between the two)

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
