WTF? Wtf is wrong with you guys? Hixon is a damn scrub. Let's not overreact and think that Hixon is the answer. It's not time to incorporate Hixon into the offense. It is time to throw this guy out the damn door! Someone needs to tell me why the fug this guy is still even on this team. He's not much of an upgrade over AE too.

if it were going to happen with hixon or it could happen, it would have by now.

 

I think it's a matter of shula just not using him correctly. It's kind of like the situation with ted ginn when he was with other teams. The coaches are going with what they know vs what they don't know. I don't think hixon will get significant reps in a game unless ginn, lafell, or smith are seriously injured.

Its hard to get targets being the 3rd option or lower on every snap though.

 

That dude is a Ferrari just sitting in Shula's garage, I just hope he doesnt wreck it. They say its fragile.

 

I wouldn't classify him as a ferrari but giving Cam more options will do wonders and the element of surprise is a bitch. Hixon, Brandon, Hartsock all getting thrown to since we don't have a 1,000 catcher

 

Yall kill me with this person a bum this and that, but then say Brady & Manning make their options look better as if those unknown options were here you wouldnt be saying they're useless. If Josh Bryce played last night he woulda been 3rd in yards on our team. You dont even know who Bryce is

issue is he isn't very good

 

our run game also is vastly overrated.  We don't actually give our QB much of a run game to work off of.......instead our QB makes our overall rush attack look good.

 

I have said for weeks our rush attack has sucked despite the numbers.  Cam makes it look good.....as far as giving your QB a rush attack to play off?  It is one of the weaker ones in the NFL.

 

 

I think we signed him and Ginn just hoping one of them would work out

Yeah Idk man, Hixon looked alright in camp. I try to stay optimistic for the most part but its true I dont know what we really have in him yet. Every dude in the show is a stud in my book. I'd like to see more of him though. I feel the tide is beginning to turn on LaFell even though many would say it was earlier. There are catches in the nfl that are gimmies. LaFell misses some ridiculous gimmies. Its time to talk contract with him and we still have options at receiver.

 

I could see us picking up a high profile wr in this draft. . maybe free agency this year.

Honestly at this point I think if Hixon was going to make any sort of impact on our passing game he would have done it.  They haven't been sitting by with our plague of critical drops and sub-par overall WR play with Hixon sitting on the sideline ready to help fix it without trying it, I can promise you that.

 

He's been on the field...every once in a while he makes a block or catches a ball...but there's just no impact there from him.  I don't expect to see much of him the rest of the year barring serious injury to someone and I don't expect to see him in a Panthers uniform next year.

      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.
