It seems like Luke has been giving up quite a few passing TD's

So we can't discuss where our team has room to improve? Like I said, be objective.

It's interesting really some of the comments....

Well they are the best TE's in the past decade, so it's just going to happen? So we just accept it will happen? Boy sure looked like St. Louis and New England had an answer for Jimmy Graham.

Also, by the logic of many ( not all, there has been a lot of reasonable and fair post), if Luke is such a clear cut BEST MLB in the game, then shouldn't be such a tall task to ask him to stop some of these guys no?

Nope after wins the huddle acts like we just won the Super Bowl and are immune to criticism.

Yes we can discuss areas for our TEAM to improve.  We could definitely have done better against the Saints. 

 

No we shouldn't just accept it.  Singling out LK certainly will not help matters though.  What is needed is a different strategy and perhaps a better secondary.  New England kept a cornerback on Graham most of the game.  That is how they shut him down.  Maybe the Rams did the same thing, I am not sure. 

 

I don't think that the best mlb in the league can cover the best pass catching tight end without some help, no more than I think the best corner in the league can cover Calvin Johnson without some help.

I watched Luke on the Panthers radio show last year. He said one of the hardest things for him to learn was coverage. In the NFL receivers are so gifted and understand how to win with leverage. It's no different than Steve Smith coming into the league and depending on his athleticism. Then over time learning how to run routes. He's very instinctive with quick reactions in the run game but in coverage it's just not as natural to him.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
