Carolina Panthers’ Picking Joe Adams Makes Armanti Edwards Obsolete

With the 104th pick of the 2012 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select: Joe Adams WR Arkansas. Joe Adams is an explosive Return Man and dynamic WR. There's no doubt that drafting him makes Edwards obsolete, especially since the only contribution Edwards was being allowed to make was at PR, if you called it a contribution. I expect Edwards to be cut soon.

Camp will be interesting this year. We have legit competition in key positions this year. We actually have competition at the return game for the first time in a long time. Giving us good field position with returns only boosts our already hi powered offense. Pilares did well last year, not great, but considering how long its been since we've had decent returns, we took it. I am looking forward to camp, preseason games and offseason.

AE will go into camp as the PR, but I'm sure that the FO's real plans are for Adams to be the PR, so essentially it's Adam's job to lose. AE will be the 3rd or 4th WR, depending on how they view Gettis, on the depth chart going into camp.

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
