An uninspired passing attack that ranked 28th in the league through week 7 (and that has probably worsened through week 8). No receiver is going to play in this situation and light the world on fire, much less one where the HC never really wanted the receiver in the first place. For me, it's not about the receiver as much as it is about QB play and coaching decisions. Even our WR1 who is having a fine showing as a rookie is being held back by ineffective QB play and questionable target share.

He’s been open, deep, a few times and Bryce has missed him. 
 

Oh well. Keep on using Tremayne and Jimmy 

That's basically how I see it. He's obviously not washed. I've watched at least three vids showing how he was open and Bryce missing him. I've also seen evidence of him still putting people in a blender. But, if Bryce is going to miss him and Canales isn't going to use him, we may as well see what the young guys can do.

Renfrow basically is exactly who we thought he was.   He is a niche slot WR. But he doesn't fit the O or Bryce though.  Renfrow needs a pretty good QB and scheme to be of use.  Bryce Young flat can't even hit him when he is open.  Folks saying Renfrow hasn't been good or washed are letting Bryce defense get in the way.  It's also just denying reality we watched on the field of him being wide open over and over and Bryce not being able to hit the broad side of a barn.  He probably has the best hands on the team though.  He is the best short/classic slot route runner on the team and it's not really close. 

but we need to be developing Tmac, XL, Coker, Tremayne and Horn.  I'd say only 2 guys are technically better than Renfrow right now in a vaccum and that is Tmac and Coker.

Jimmy horn and Jalen Coker are better

I suspect Coker can be better, but I haven't seen much evidence of Horn actually being better.

Nuanced route running should not be taken lightly.

If Horn ever reached the highest height that Renfrow has, I will be surprised. Coker may be able to do it, but it's certainly not a guarantee. I realize that Renfrow has been out of the game a few years, but I have seen evidence of him being his old self. That's also no guarantee, but I'm not certain that we'll ever be able to see any of these guysbteach their ceiling under the current circumstances.

A healthy scratch two weeks? I want him to succeed with us so bad. I need him to be our ricky proehl. Im hoping it's just his body getting back used to the pain.

Coker pretty much replaced him once we activated him. And we want Horn on the field so we can throw that one swing pass/run play to him like 5 times a game and hope it works once

When they put Horn on the field I already know the play. Its so predictable that Canales should be fired for that alone.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
