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?

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.

      Bryce’s deep passes are intermediate passes for other strong armed QBs. I will say that Bryce’s accuracy on his deep passes have improved. Before they would just sail out of bounds. Now the WR actually has a fighting chance on the ball.
