King and McNutt wont be punchlines for long.

I rewatched the Atlanta game today, it was a perfectly thrown ball. He really should've came down with both feet.

 

Yes, he should have, but meh.  New team, young guy - give him another chance, I think he comes down with it in bounds.  He clearly wasn't ready last year, though. I'm not going to say he has no potential and won't amount to anything.  Either or both those guys could be big contributors.

 

Just wish we could find some journeyman vet with some experience.  We don't need a #1 in FA but we do need someone that can at least be a #3 if not a #2.

"Though it’s still not crystal clear, general manager Dave Gettleman does have a plan for his team at receiver."

and it quotes McNutt as saying this about the plan at WR by the guys in the front office: “They're just not going to go all straight young guys. There’s going to be guys they pick up."

Could someone help me out by explaining why King and McNutt, who couldn't see action on a team that boosted the 28th ranked passing attack, is supposed to be better than the WRs they could not beat out?

 

They didn't have training camp with us, probably didn't get a ton of reps with Cam at all, and were new to the NFL (McNutt was in his 2nd season, King a rookie).  It takes receivers time.  So they could be better than Lafell, Ginn, Hixon... We didn't get a ton of chance to see.

 

I don't expect them to be #1s, but you never know, they could be valuable this year.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      Not just Dalton.   But the only real young arm they would let be seen the past 2 years was a really a bad Jack Plummer.  Who was super weak even for that tier  Can’t convince me how weak they made the atmosphere around Young hasn’t been intentional.

      Things of note: mentions he has six drops. Six. For all the people that don’t know what a drop is, he has six. That’s a long distance from the league leader at ten. (To be fair, pro football reference has him at seven, still not bad.  Plenty of others is that same range.  His drop % is 6.3, which is low.) Catchable ball success ratio: 83% which is great. Catchable being the key word.  Mentions his contested catch rate is low at 5/18 but that’ll get better I think when he can rely on muscle memory for routes, catches, etc and the game slows down for him

      I'd honestly take The Golden Calf of Bristol over Young. You know you can design an O around his skillset to win you games. Plus, as a bonus, said O would wear him down within 3 years so you could move on from him.
