AB had a historically low drop rate across both a single season and a 5 year period (3.2%). Not sure that’s the hill you want to die on when XL was top 3 in the league at 14%. It was his rookie year and he has plenty of room to improve and work at getting better, but I haven’t seen that in the limited TC clips we’ve seen to date  

that being said I’ve never heard someone describe AB as a body catcher, that’s a new one to me. 

The league high was 14.1% - Legette was at 8.3% with 7 drops.  Also an interesting stat is that the QB Passer rating when throwing to XL was 86.3 which made XL 139th in the league when targeted, meaning 138 other guys had easier catches than he did.  Here are some notable WR's with higher drops % - Jeudy, Jayden Reed, Jaylen Waddle, Romeo Doubs, Aiyuk.  Or some guys within 1% just below - Tank Dell, Deebo, Sterling Shepard.  Jayden Reed had a QB passer of 137, one of the best in the league, while dropping 12%.  Are these guys also a problem?  Would you give them the same post?  NONE of them were rookies by the way....

Context ALWAYS matters.  Cherry picking 1 single stats NEVER tells the whole story.

That's not at all what that means. LOL

The definition says "Passer rating on passes when targeted".....what else would that mean?

Lol I don't care about Sanders enough either way weirdly long post seeing as i just posted a list of their QBs....

 

 

What is it with you younger guys who post something, get a response, and then go “LOL, YOU TYPE TOO MUCH DADDDDD”. 
 

Just pre-teen levels of arrogance in so few words it’s shocking. You have nothing of substance to add, don’t say anything at all. Easy as that. In a room of smart people, the less you say, the better.

Sounds like there won't be any practice tweets today

You really should get on the Tepper's payroll. No sense working for free.

Flacco is the starter. That isn't a surprise as it's already been their plan.

The way I see it is that Pickett was picked up as trade bait. You have Watson on an insane contract, and hope to keep him on PUP so he doesn't take up a roster spot. You have Flacco as your starter and then two cheap rookies as back-ups. 

It isn't a recipe for success but it's the hole they've dug themselves. They can't get rid of two rookies on 3rd and 5th round contracts with the contract that Watson has, in my opinion. 

And honestly, I expect Shedeur to play well tomorrow. I didn't care for him as a person but the utter disdain some people had for him made me check him out more closely, and he seems to be largely a good guy. Says the right things, has been doing the right things, his teammates like him and trust him, etc. It's very similar to how Cam was viewed outside of Carolina. 

But playing in a pro style offense in college, and your leading rusher has 300 yards, in 13 games, yet completing 74% of your passes for more than 4,000 yards with 40+ touchdowns, and winning awards, at a P5 school and then going in the 5th round is unheard of. He's at least a second round talent and I'm excited to see what he can do, or rather what Stefanski will call. Don't know if they will call the game to let him let it rip or just force the issue to drive down the field methodically. 

If Bryce Young can demand a kings ransom to trade up and get, none of the physical limitations they said that Shedeur had are really limitations at all. It was an excuse. 

It's not that hard to figure out. His NFL talent level is marginal, there's the very real concerns of distraction largely because of dad, and then there were all the reports of him absolutely blowing off the pre-draft process and handling himself absolutely terribly - reports he himself has largely confirmed since. Take away the media hype and his massive slide makes sense.  The media over hyped his draft status from the get go. I said leading up to the draft there's no way this guy is a 1st round talent. He felt like a typical 3rd round type pick of a QB who put up big numbers in college but whose talent and style probably won't translate to the league but someone rolls the dice. This whole situation was largely a media creation.

Theres plenty of non team footage. Get off the huddle for a second.

That measures the result of the play, not how difficult the pass was.  You can't draw much information from that other than the passer rating was lower when thrown to XL.

Considering that I'm living in your head rent free, I can get away with a little charity work.

Wofford would've welcomed them back for 2 years

Yeah, honestly just staying at Wofford until everything was ready was the logical call, but per usual Tepper is just desperate to try to erase everything in Panthersdom prior to his purchase meanwhile the fanbase is left desperately clinging to that version of the Panthers because whole we weren't consistent we would fug around and put a SQUAD out there every two or three years.

Oh honey. Bless your heart.

When you’re closely monitoring my conversations in the ghost town Hornets section just waiting for your moment to pop up out of the blue and try to make something in there about your insatiable need to defend Bryce Young it's beyond official like a referee whistle. But fret not. You'll never have to pay rent don't worry.
