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)

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
