When Bryce looks good we have weapons. When Bryce gets outplayed by a rookie 8 games into his career suddenly we have nobody.

I love this place.

Not me. I have never thought this team had legit NFL caliber weapons. I think they have potential, but right now we probably have the worst WRs and TEs in the NFL. Sorry, just facts.

TE is pretty dire but I don’t think Canales offense really needs one if it’s clicking.

Tet is good already. Coker is VERY good, like when he gets out of Carolina he’s going to go insane somewhere.

obviously XL just needs to be cut

TMac I'm sorry. He's pretty good. He's not good. Coker is good. He really is a smart, tough and reliable receiver. His only real negative is a lack of top end speed. If that dude had XL's physical ability, he'd be one of the best in the league. TMac is young. He's probably not what he was billed to be yet, but we've seen flashes. He'll be better than all of them in a year or two. He lacks true WR1 speed, but his ability to make tough catches is why he went before Egbuka and Luther. Unfortunately he really hasn't made a lot of tough catches when given the opportunity. I'd say Coker has just as many wow receptions as TMac, with a 1/4 of the targets. He has great instincts (that can't really be taught) but loses focus on catches way too much. 2 big drops yesterday. XL is a step above Mingo right now. He is not a natural receiver. I really hope the light turns on for him. His potential is through the roof. JT Sanders will likely be better in a season or two, but he ain't there yet. Not tough or reliable. Evans lacks athleticism. Tremble is the best of that group and he's an unreliable target as well. But I love his CRAZY when the ball is in his hands. He is who he is at this point. 

Yesterday's game was a really good example of where our receivers are compared to other teams. The little things like working back to the ball, high pointing intermediate passes with strong hands, catching in traffic, beating tight coverage. The Saints receivers probably saved 2 INTs yesterday on late and badly placed passes from Shough. So yes, he has all the confidence in the world to let it rip. I'll watch the All-22, but I'm thinking (like most every game) Bryce isn't confident in his receivers to make plays or bail him out on tight coverage throws. But at least he is taking deep shots now. Honestly think it's time to get Jimmy Horn in the game. We need some juice on the field in a big big way.

Oh I think tet has plenty of top end speed. Hes a long strider so it takes a while to get going.

i always thought he was a frisbee dog with an absurd physical makeup from what I saw from him in college. He’s not being used right in Carolina for any number of reasons.

And Coker is baby boldin. He doesn’t have great top end speed but he always wins off the line and runs good routes.

Shough doesn't have better talent around him today than Bryce had his rookie season.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I think it's short sighted to judge a QB or HC in a vacuum. They both need good players to be successful. That's the GM's role. And he's young in his role too. His general experience in the league gives him a bit of an advantage/perspective that everyone doesn't have. But he still has to perfect his role as a GM.  But whether they're good or not, they are young in their roles. That is the point I was making. Could they be better at what they do? Of course. But it's hard to have early success when you have so many major areas still figuring out how to do their jobs at the same time. Asking a QB to pass for 4000 yards when neither of his 2 best WRs have played a full season is a tall task. Asking a HC to be an effective HC while he's calling plays when he's only done it for 3 years, and he has a young roster is a tall ask. Especially with a roster with so many holes and lack of talent. But that young label is definitely coming to its end. It's about time to start showing major improvements on offense, defense and coaching. Dan has had 3 drafts/offseasons to improve the roster. Dave has had 2 training camps. Bryce has had 3 seasons, though that first season was a pretty tough situation for anyone to learn, let alone have success. The QB is on the hotseat. Mostly because it's pay up or shut up time. He's ran out of time. Doesn't matter if he has reasons or not.  Not getting into the other stuff. Too many layers to pull back.
