You went from a player "mentoring" to now talking about positional coaches, who job is to coach. Which one we talking about here? Steve Smith job wasn't to "mentor" anybody, he however could and actually did give advice as far as how to the play WR

Yes those are definitely different since one is telling you how to play the position and the other is telling you how to play the position.

Possibly.  Only about 1/3 receivers drafted in the first round since 2000 have been top notch.  It quickly falls off after that though so the chances of increased success would be higher but probably not by as much as we might expect.

 

It helps if you can put the WR on special teams, that way they contribute immediately and gain confidence. Worked for Smitty, might work for this guy.

I agree but that's what that pick would say on the surface. I also have nothing against Cooks, seems like he'd be a fine player in the right system. That could be ours. Just from what I know I'd rather have a Matthews, Lee might be there, or even Benjamin or a few others. Cooks just looks so damn little, and not just short. Little.

 

Well how old is he? He'll fill out, Smitty did.

No offense Zod, but you wouldn't be a willing or unknowing accomplice to the process of smoke and mirrors would you?

 

For the next 8 weeks, we will hear nothing but one rumor after another.  Love the Cooks pick, but not sure why some guy would risk his job to tell the guy who owns a football website who is on their draft board.

 

Guess I am just a bit suspect.  Sorry

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      Valid, and throw in that what Wilson and Smith did is not out of the ordinary for a WCO

      The season is over, and we're going to get clowned on by Mayfield and Darnold before it's over.

      Darnold was pretty bad until last year.  He implodes mentally, its just what he does.  To this day I dont have a problem with letting him walk.   Baker is a bit different.  He was an ass in Cleveland and they couldnt deal with his poo, but he at least had talent and went to the playoffs.  So you know he could play at least.  There were different stories coming out from the time he got here, competing with Sam and then the practice team release fiasco.  Both good and bad.  Some say he was a good teammate others say he bitched behind the scenes.   From what it appears his wife has worked with him and he calmed down and his play has reflected that.  Tampa loves him.  So if we were going to keep one it probably should have been him but man he was really bad for us.  But to his defense he didnt get the first team reps until late into camp.     In obvious hindsight we should have signed Baker cheap, drafted a dude and let the cards play out, but you know the rest of the story and now we are going to have to watch bryce for 2 more years

      Again his one year calling plays happened to be Baker's lowest YPA not counting his split year hear.  That tells me he was less aggressive with a QB who likes to be aggressive.  We have that and almost 2 full years of Bryce Ball here in Carolina.  He will take some deeps shots as most offenses have to in order to keep the defense honest.  Quick passes and hopeful YAC.  I'll give you one guess to which year Rachaad White had the most receptions as TB's RB?  Remember the first thing he wanted to do here is focus on how quickly he wanted to get the ball out.  That's part of his recipe to help QBs and help his OL.  Run the ball, quick passes to hopefully players in space, sprinkle in a little PA.   So yeah you can look at some coaches he learned under and speculate, but I am telling you what he literally is doing and has done as a play caller.  Offenses that were and are 100% his baby.
