Keenan Allen's 40 time; 4.71, Luke Kuechly's 40 time; 4.5. Anyone concerned by Allen's speed? (Or lack thereof)

The more concerning thing is that he only had 1...thats right...1 100 yard receiving game this year. Actually he only has 1 100 yard receiving game since 10/13/2011. So that is 15 out of his last 16 games he was held under 100 yards...and runs a 4.7...it is all pretty damn concerning.

I can understand the concern, but the guy had someone on The Golden Calf of Bristol's status or worse throwing to him. That QB he had was absolutely terrible.

We need a wide receiver that can take the top off the defense. We already have a possession receiver in LaFell. I am with those that say that Allen isn't really much of an upgrade over what we already have. Why did we pick up Ginn for example?? Because he has straight line speed. Why did we hold onto Gettis?? You can't coach speed. Either you have it or you don't. Of course speed isn't everything but you need a receiver who can complement what you already have not duplicate it.

In a vertical offense you have to get down field in a hurry to avoid putting your quarterback in a vulnerable spot. We already have possession guys we need speed guys given that Hixon and Gettis are both coming off ACL injuries and LaFell is a possession guy. Allen doesn't bring that much to the table we don't already have.

So with that said, they will pick him for sure.

According to PFF only 4 receivers had 15 or more receptions of 20 yards or more in the air. The most was 21 with megatron.

1 of those guys was Reggie Wayne and Greg Cossell loves to compare Allen to him.

So really how fuging important is timed speed with no pads or defensive coverage?

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By PantherChris · Posted

      This while he didn't single handily LOSE the game on any one play.....    He was a first overall pick, one we paid a fortune for..... the bar for him is a 10 foot dunk not a 5"8 children's rim.   32 for 49 for 287 with 1 td and 1 int in two games vs the worst team in the conference, two critically important games that we would be 9-5 and competing for the #2 if he had led us to victory....   Ive given him props for the TD to tet.... it was the best pass ive ever seen him make.....   But putting up these kind of numbers isn't up to par. Defenses stack the box and dare him to throw....  and he still puts up medicore at best numbers.    To win with Bryce young the entire rest of the team has to be absolutely perfect to make up for his deficiencies.... so while he didn't "lose" this game for us..... HE DEFFINATLY DIDNT GO WIN IT FOR US. (Which is the REALISTIC EXPECTATION)

      His O is just built on taking repeated shots and that’s not BY’s game.  It was always a round peg and square hole…. But I also agree with your post.  I hate OC HCs.  Especially green ones.   I never liked anything about the setup

      I get that. He's also trying to do HC and OC this year which I think is just too much for him. I think it's hard to call plays from the sidelines. That view from up top helps them see what a defense is doing better. A few HCs can do it because they have the QBs and experience to pull it off. DC has neither. I think DC may have spread himself too thin and Bryce isn't the QB to be able to pull of his end of it either. How much they compliment each other in creating this offensive bleh, yet to be determined. Doesn't really matter because it's still awful.
