Rosario

This is a question that I have wondered about ever since game 1 last year. Why don't we better utilize Donte Rosario? Last year at SD the guy was great. He had 9 catches and the game winner, yet I think he ended the year with 16 total grabs. Today he was big down the stretch making 3 catches all in the 4th Q.

Looking at the stats from todays game, we threw to Smith 15 times and Moose 7. The 3rd and 4rth WR were thrown at 1 time each. I know the offense was good today, but we need to use other options. A good TE is huge, we saw that today with Gonzalez. King is not that guy and I know he is a better blocker, but we need to use Rosario more. This guy is no T. Gonzalez but I really believe he could grab 3-4 a game and help stretch the middle of the field.

our TEs had plenty of yardage given who our first two WRs are.

I'll say this, rather the TEs than our backs. They should be fantastic in the passing game and are just average.

At any rate, you've been asking since week 1 last year because he got trampled in that celebration and then hurt his back. Looks healthy now, and I think we'll see more of Rosario receiving than last year.

I agree that our TEs are underutilized in the passing game. Other teams kill us with their TEs, we could use ours to open up to the WRs more. We did throw to ours more today than in games past, and I hope that continues. We have an offense that would allow for good ball control if we threw more 'dinks' to the RBs and short tosses over the middle to the TEs. Jake had a much better game today than the past 2, but he still looks to Smith and Moose way too often. Giving the other defense something more to think about will only help us.

    • During this season my dial started at “Wait and see but not at all optimistic”. Then after two games the dial went to “Experiment failed time to move in another direction”. Now, post benching the dial is at “wait and see but very optimistic”.    He now looks like a legit starter and may be the long term answer. I’m proud of the young man’s determination and resiliency and he deserves to be the starter next year. Would still like to see him progress further but things are moving in the right direction for sure. 
    • I guess it depends on what the actual belief is… worth the pick? Will be a top 5 QB? A solid starter? And on and on.  end of the day he has a small handful of promising games.  NFL history is a full of dudes that had that….and you then can follow the different paths all over the map   
    • I am more interested in his efficiency and cutting down on the turnovers.  The Dallas game was bad, mainly because they were getting pressure straight up the middle, but other than that, after his benching, he threw the ball well, and gave us a chance to score.  The offense as a whole became more productive when Bryce came back.   In truth, I felt the New Orleans game was one of his most impressive games as a starter.  The stats don't look as great,  but he threw well under pressure. And took us into Saints territory three times during the second half.  86 Yard drive for a td and 59 yard drive for a td.  Chuba ran it in for both td's, but Bryce played very well in getting us there.  And the third time was a interception when Bryce made a fantastic throw, and XL had the ball ripped out of his hands by the defender.  Have to admit that was the first time in Bryce's time with Carolina that I felt positive about Bryce.
