I was waiting for someone to make this thread but there are too many people who would rather just hate him because he is a former UNC player. The guy is much better at the stretch 4 than McBob. Yep...it's only one game. How many games like that did Josh have? Just let the guy be a Hornet and stop hating so much.

McBob's calling card was that he could move the ball and initiate offense. That's a rare skill nowadays out of the four spot, especially when you couple it with his learning to make threes, albeit sparingly. There's a reason Miami gave him basically a little under what we paid Lance with two extra guaranteed years.

 

His absence was evident especially in the first half with the lack of ball movement, but credit to Marvin, he did what we needed him to do: Spread the floor, hit some threes. A more one dimensional McBob, but a key factor tonight nonetheless. Hope it continues.

    • With all the money invested in the offensive line, we really need to hit on some Round 1-3 picks.  We could really use a star receiver or pass rusher on a rookie contract for a few years.
    • I understand everyone being happy but let's try not to turn it into another schoolgirl crush festival. No offense. It isn't slower WRs that cause wild overthrows. They have all kinds of practice. It is his mechanics keeping things under control that allows a more efficient conversion of energy, let's call it, into the throw, that we are seeing.  He was doing it with horrible mechanics and needing to put 100% effort to get the ball that far. That totally fugs your accuracy. There is video of Mahomes and Carr on this site that I have linked with them throwing under control vs all out trying to get the most velocity on a radar gun. It shows exactly what I am saying. I didn't make it up. I have been telling y'all for a year at least. It really is all about the margins with Young and he has to be very attentive to his technique to get the most from what he has. He is doing that now and this is the new 'what he can do'. And this is it, there ain't no more. You decide if that's enough for you I guess. But you are noticing better ball flight and zip I am pretty sure, it comes from there. Again go look at the Buffalo drive in preseason and you will see that same thing you see lately. To do that stuff you have to be willing to stand tall come what may, sometimes. Hopefully you have protection to step up safely but the difference making happens when you stand in there and finish just ahead of a hit.  ..... And btw, the straw that broke the camel's back when Tepper fired Reich, was because he couldn't fix it in a week. One of the last issues that I remember was about Young's footwork. You know, I guess it is normal that 10 weeks into the season someone just realized, or finally accepted, that Young had major fundamentals issues. It took them a lot longer to realize it isn't an overnight fix. And my issues with Young were specifically over this stuff. Major rehab job, you don't pay what we paid for that. Hopefully he is 'fixed' and it 'took' and he doesn't go back into his little safe space of the old mechanics like he did week 1. If he hangs with the new, this is what you are working wth now. We just saw his ceiling. 
    • i'm not nearly 100%, but i'm trending that way. He's definitely got me around 75%.
