Stop scapegoating passing game's failures on the receivers

[TD alt]

We all have an idea of who's to blame for the failures of the passing game, but you're blaming the receivers too much.

Some of us need to get real.

[Waldo]

Bryce's limitations are not a blanket excuse for anyone else. Some can't be proved until post Bryce times but there is substantial evidence that some WRs deserve reasonable criticism. 

The oline is hurt and overpaid at this point. Tet is the only WR that is completely blameless. DC is backed into a corner but still not blameless with his inability to adjust to the opponent or prepare the team.  

Also this guy is such a goober. Everything ESPN is garbage.

Things could be better at WR. It could also be a hell of a lot worse. There is young talent here. I think guys are beginning to lose confidence in what they are doing. Even if they might genuinely like Bryce Young as a person and a teammate it has to wear on them on the field they are all human. If you put someone in there that can keep defenses honest with their arm and unlock the whole field and get these guys some throws that can give them a morale boost I think we would see better results over time. But we unequivocally need that in order to properly evaluate.

This goes all the way back for Bryce.  In the draft everyone kept saying he did it without having any recievers in college. I wonder how this narrative came about for him

[Bear Hands]

McMillan is 13th in the NFL in yards but 86th of 89 eligible WRs in catchable ball rate.

Let that sink in

Lack of receiving options is a problem but not THE problem. I think this is a better group than Cam had much of his career. 

[Donald LaFell]

How many people are blaming the receivers?

Bryce is ass and T-Mac looks like a legit #1 WR. Yeah, been there 

[Cpt slay a ho]

I don’t think anyone can truly blame the WRs when dude is barely managing 200 yards passing a game, and 80 of that or more is normally going to tet 

Xl def has his struggles but it ain’t like the qb situation is helping him at all

Bryce had zero ability to elevate the guys around him.

Did we really need another XL thread?

I don't know that any receiver is completely blameless.

Can't say much about a "Goober" vibe, because I think all of the guys in Raleigh that talk Panthers are much more on the money than anyone else, ESPN or not. Donnelly also played QB (can't remember the school), so he has some inside knowledge about this stuff. Donnelly, Dennis Cox and Chris Lea feel the pain and call the bullshit. Adam Gold isn't a fan, per sé, but he's just as analytical and criticalm

IDK what the point of even bringing him up is anymore. He is very clearly a bust. 

Time to move on.

Think what you want, but as was pointed out, when X was actually targeted, he caught nine of 11 balls. How that translates to being "clearly" a bust doesn't quite translate under the circumstances in my opinion. Again, Chris Lea in the other video, said X is getting open "a lot" if you actually study him on the All-22 video.
