Me too. Getting into a rhythm is so understated, but important in my opinion. I just think Chuba should be the lead back---definitely the short-yardage back---and Rico the change of pace guy. That being said, it's not a black and white proposition which is why I still think Canales is having a confusing time trying to balance.

Being that I didn't think of that, it's not disingenuous at all. Maybe an erroneous analysis based upon incomplete information. That being said, The season is still ongoing, and you still can't nullify the Bryce effect. Keep in mind that both Chase's and Jefferson's target shares are above McMillan's right now. Lastly, all I said is that he is in their stratosphere, and I'm not coming off of it. If you look at his total EPA (expected points added), McMillan's is higher than Chase's or Jefferson's, and is indeed top 5 in the league. And I wouldn't be surprised if there are some other metrics where he ranks very highly. Like I said, with better QB play and (I'll add) perhaps better play design or coaching strategy, T-mac will be a beast. No need to downplay him. https://sumersports.com/players/wide-receiver/

Bryce isn't nearly a top QB in the NFL. That's not "bashing," it's just honesty. He averages under 200 yards per game (also true). He's not doing any of our receivers any favors when looking at simple stats, much less the totality of his stats. Even still, I haven't expressly compared him to the top QBs in the NFL, or suggested that the only reason he is 20th is because others are injured or stink. You're kinda comparing apples to oranges. Moreover, my loyalty is to the team---what's best for the Panthers---not just one player. "Keep pounding," is a motto for the entire organization and fans, and doesn't refer to just McMillan in this instance (or Young).

Hell, "average at best," in pass pro is a low key bashing. Hell, he still can't get recognition for being average for arguably the most important part of his job.

McMillan is the 7th overall receiver in the NFL right now. Not rookie, but all of the NFL right now. This fact should not be undervalued or downplayed. He is in front of Jefferson (albeit with 3 more snaps) and behind Chase (albeit with 13 less snaps). He's right there with them, and that's notwithstanding the Panthers situation, and notwithstanding that he is a rookie. I say, "He is in their stratosphere," and I ain't stuttering. We have a real one, regardless of who doesn't realize it.

Dude, he's had to endure Bryce "180" Young. Talking about a handicap...For Tetairoa to have the production he's had is a miracle. And, as you should know, the best ability is availability. If Egbuka and Dart are injured, they can't be OROTY. If Ward is having rookie troubles or whatever, OROTY is out of the realm of reality. I'd say it all equals out---akin to poetic justice. Where's the loyalty? Keep pounding, and not for the opposition. T-mac will be a perennial top 10 receiver for years to come---too five if we can get our QB straight.

I really don't think so. They're different receivers. Coker doesn't have that straight line speed. X may have to worry if we bring someone else in, but I still think he has a chance to get it together.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Someone needs to do a study on teams who have great wins and terrible losses all in the same season. We have to be high on the list in NFL history.

If course they fug it up. Denver will get their comeuppance in the playoffs.

fug the Saints. Panthers in a blowout!

Just like we did. Surprised people couldn't see it.

Man, I gotta get up at 5

Damn

I hate Denver and Payton so much.

That's likely going to tell the story. He'll have two weeks to prepare, so no excuses.

As for all the people hyping up Dowdle and downplaying Chuba for the hundreth time, the likelihood of Chuba getting chopped in favor of Dowdle is not very high. There is probably even less of a likelihood that he's our RB1 once a healthy JB enters the equation. That's just the way it is.

I approve of that message, but do we have the capital---draft and real---to make an impact? Intellectually, I think this may be true, but I have a difficult time believing that this is in the realm of reality, especially the 1a part of the equation. I know that it seems like we've been down this road before, but the remaining regular season games may just tell the story about how serious the need is for a QB. And even with that, I hope that this FO hasn't already made up its mind that we have our short or long term answer at the position. Moreover, keep in mind that Bryce is actually playing for something more than moral victories this time.

My son was trying to say he got lucky, but I told him that he jumped. That stands for something...Wait!

Could be. He's certainly not looking like the guy that we overpaid for.

Last week.

Pretty funny!

My son and I were fearful that he was going to be undone by the Peanut Punch from behind. He looked like he was running in quicksand.
