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)

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
