Why do guys think that our #4 WR should be putting up big numbers? Really #5 when you consider the fact that we use Olsen as a defacto WR also.

Nobody said big numbers.

But if you are the 4th receiver, with Cam Newton as your QB, you should be getting involved more often and AT LEAST making somewhat of an impact.

This is a Shula issue too. We need to run se 5 wide sets. This is a passing league.

Considering that a good amount of our offense is run out of a 2 TE and/or 2 RB set with a healthy running game and that WRs 1-3 are productive, I see no reason that a 4th WR would see significant non-ST time on the field.  Your assertion that not running 5 WR on the field means you're not running a productive passing game is ridiculous.

It was either him, Pilaris, Joe Adams, or Armanti.

I think it's safe to say Hixon is better than anyone of those guys, and it's arguable if any of the three cut would have even caught a pass yet.

Seriously, Tolbert catches more passes than our third receiver some games. With so many pass catchers everywhere he won't have much of an opportunity. It'd be nice to involve him a little more, but he's clearly on the roster as a solid backup. Ginn can't be on the field enough, anyway, and same goes for Lafell and Smitty. We're fine there.

Should we have beaten the seahawks? Yes. DWills fumble at the 8 yrd line cost us

Should we have beaten the bills? Yes. Fug this game was sickening

Theres a very very VERY good chance that we would be 6-1 right now. Are we a full-on "passing team"? Not even close. I do believe that as a whole the NFL has become a "passing league." But u have to take things on a game by game basis. We are destroying teams by having long methodical drives. Runs, Short passes and 3rd down conversions are what we do. Coming out in 5 WR sets a lot would be dumb. We have 1 good WR, a solid #2, and a speed guy with no hands. So youd take DWil land Tolbert out of the game so u can put in Hixon and Gettis? No thanks. We are playing great now and utilizing our players effectively.

The vikings made the playoffs last year with the 2nd worst QB in the league (no im not saying we should be like that. Just showing u that things have to be taken on a game by game basis, and not generalized). The Chiefs have the best record in football this year with a strong defense and emphasis on the running and short pass game. Sound familiar?

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway.

      There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
