Panthers WR Marvin McNutt

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know how Panthers new WR obtained from Miami's Practice squad is doing? With the right amount of coaching, I am wondering if he couldn't be a replacement for  Lafell,if the need occurred.

 

 

ANALYSIS
 

STRENGTHS McNutt is reliable to get his hands on the ball and make a tough catch when it’s thrown anywhere near him. He has good awareness to get open on broken plays and drag his feet along the sidelines. He is a viable possession-type option for quarterbacks looking to pick up a quick first down.
WEAKNESSES McNutt can struggle when running routes across the middle. There are consistency and effort issues when blocking and running decoy routes that aren’t intended to him, and he can struggle off the line if he isn’t decisive and powerful with his first step.

Here are some pro's and con's about Marvin McNutt. With Ricky Proehl showing McNutt some tricks of the trade and enhancing his skills, he could turn out to be a pleasant surprise.
 

* A converted quarterback with sure hands, McNutt steadily improved and produced in a pro-style offense and has the skill set to excel in a West Coast system. Frame, ball skills and body control enable him to be effective running slants or leaping outside the numbers.
 * Long, big-framed
* Rare leaping ability
* Boxes out CBs
* Concentrates, tracks and adjusts
* Able to control and contort his body
* Makes the difficult and clutch catches

Downside
* High-cut
* Builds to speed
* Could stand to polish route running
* Inconsistent blocker
* Average strength, elusiveness after catch
* Will not factor on special teams

I agree about King having more potential.  I think it's a Brandon Gibson like ceiling for him so my expectations aren't huge or anything but it'd be cool if he became a contributor.  But the bottom line is the current distribution and personel is working great.

    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
    • I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
