Panthers WRs separate better than I thought

I guess reading comprehension is just too much to ask. It plainly says...

Average yards of separation for all WRs at the QB's release this season #NextGenStats

3 yards is not that far. And every time somebody is "wide open", that easily skews the numbers. CMC or Olsen coming out of the backfield are usually 10 yards from anyone, but not downfield.

I don’t believe it for a second.  It seems like most of these stats and analysis sites just figure out a formula, that is complex enough that average people will just buy it without the effort of questioning it, and run with it. 

Kinda like religion

This seems similar to the reaction to PFF grades. Does it fit my narrative? If not, clearly it’s bogus. If so, VINDICATED.

Stats in a vacuum just don't tell you a lot.  For example saying a RB has 5 ypc average on 20 runs, 19 for 1 yard and 1 for 81 would be quite misleading but true.  In the same sense, a stat like this could be skewed by a couple of plays with busted coverage where a receiver was 20 yards+ open, or even by entire games against a trash secondary.  You have to take data like this and combine with the eye test.  Were our receivers wide open all year and none of us noticed?

I recall another stat somewhere that said Cam through into tight windows more often than other QB, how does this reconcile?

He doesn't automatically throw the ball to the most open receiver. Someone can be wide open one place but the ball goes somewhere else. Not saying this is what always happens, but once again stats can be misleading.

This could be because pass defense give us mad cushion, keep everything pretty small, knowing we had a big speed big play WR for what 2 games? Byrd being healthy would have somewhat changed our offense and the way people play us, opening up more under neath for CMC, Stew would have had more YPC. We wouldn't have Cam Jordan knowing he can just pass rush abasing Matt Millions Kalil all year.

We, and the sports media, FOR SURE the sports media totally forgot we lost Samuel, Byrd. After this year my respect for Funchess has went up a lot, never dogged him or hated him before hand but he went out there and improved and played pretty banged up. Knowing he was the only WR we had left.

I have given Panther football a little break from analyzing and over thinking and being pissed off about this year, so Im looking forward to next year. Hopefully we can keep our drafted guys, no one retires (Ryan Kalil, Peppers, J Stew, Coleman) and we have a solid draft, everyone is healthy and comes in with a new concept against the NFC South, the saints did, falcons started to adapt, Bucs are only going to get more pissed off and a bigger chip on their shoulder. 

Lets hope this Norv thing works... and cross ya fingers that all the HC jobs gets taken without a TRUE Keep Pounding Panther kind of guy Mr. Steve Wilkes... people forget how active he has been and how he turned some of our guys into fuging savages on the defense.
