Pilares Again

How Long until he is in the starting lineup? Next year even. I mean he might as well get some shots in the slot.

Kid has swag. He is already our best special teams player by a long shot. Not just returning but in the gun. Kid plays with little fear. Nothing has looked to big for him. He has immediately made an impact on the team.

I'm a huge Gettis fan and I like Edwards but I think Pilares might be something really special.

When he proves himself enough I would imagine.

Hmmm, a kick return fora TD and another 76 yarder for a return. From what I`ve been reading no one else has done that in 8 years at Carolina. He can`t show you what he can do if he`s sitting on the sidelines. That`s why most aren`t impressed yet. Same thing if 89 Smith is standing on the sidelines. What production would you get outta him? Zip, Nada, Zilch...

He hasn't caught, nor been thrown too, nor even played a snap as a receiver (as far as I can tell). Isn't it just a little silly to be discussing him as a starter at this point?

Pilares is just a rookie fluke, AE is where our future is at.

Pilares has not been 100% and is recovering. I have no doubt this dude will be mean and earn a roster spot but my worries for him come from being injury prone, but he has the tools and just needs work ethic.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
