Person says both free agent visits today went "very well"


Mr. Scot

@josephperson: Sounds like the Panthers have a deal in place with free agent WR Jason Avant. Official announcement expected soon.

 

YES YES YES!

 

*If Mr Person gets this wrong I swear to god I will find out where he lives and unperson that mother fuger.

This is from a Madden site about his rating, but it's a very interesting write-up.

 

 

14 GP, 53 receptions, 648 yards, 0 dropped passes

 

Really? Jason Avant? Yes, really.

Just check the numbers.

During the 2012 NFL regular season, with nothing short of turmoil at the quarterback position for the Philadelphia Eagles, Avant was the most reliable receiver in football. He may not be piling up 100-yard games or catching 10 touchdowns, but he did something else.

Avant finished with 53 receptions and 684 yards with zero dropped passes.

In fact, the only true gaffe of the season for Avant was a fumble that the Eagles recovered. With an average of 12.2 yards per reception and 32 of his 53 receptions going for first down, there's only one word to describe Avant.

Reliable.

Avant won't have an overall rating above 90, and it's unlikely that he even hits 80 on the scale. What he will have, however, is an extraordinarily high rating for his hands, both on intermediate and deep routes.

Hauling in every catchable pass thrown his way should make Avant the most reliable receiver in Madden 25.

    • Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
    • Since your being selective (and somewhat deceptive) with your comparisons, I'll throw this up so we can compare apples to apples. Both Young and Shough have played against the Rams. Young went: 15/20 (75%) for 191 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 147.1 QB rating Shough went: 15/24 (62.5%) for 176 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT with a 81.2 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Buccs. Young went: 21/32 (65%) for 206 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs with a 102.5 QB rating Shough went: 13/20 (65%) for 176 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT with a 65.4 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Falcons. Young went: 31/45 (75%) for 448 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 123.2 rating Shough went: 30/43 (69.7%) for 243 yards, 0TD, 1 INT with a 74 QB rating   Seriously, in what world is Shough a better QB.
    • Freddie? For this game? Seriously? I don’t get it. Hope we get the best version of Freddie tonight.
