Juju and Golladay are  #1 wr on their teams. Kupp and Godwin could be #1 on a lot of other teams. Idc if Samuel is on pace for 800yd. Today’s nfl, that is the typical norm for wide receivers. I have not seen Samuel take over a game and I dont expect too. I like him but I dont love him. And, I dont see us paying him after his contract is up.

With no AB. Juju and Curtis are on the same pace. 

Juju is good but IMO he's not as high end as Chris Godwin. Godwin's first season being 2nd fiddle and he's arguably out playing Evans.

Juju doesnt have a QB or a running game to help him. You could make a case that he’s the only offensive weapon they have. Samuel had Cam for two games and had him ever since. Samuel also has cmc, moore and olsen to help free him up.

Little has been great the last two games. He’s a rookie. He will be the LT for the next 10 yr. 

Assuming he stays healthy. 2 concussions in 4 games is concerning.

It is but Luke has looked great so far.

Where are the Huddlers who declared that because Burns was from Florida State that he would fail just like a prior player we had? 
 

Know who I’m talking about? The dude with that awesome spin move!!!

Brian Burns, DE, Carolina Panthers

The defensive awards tend to go to pass-rushers, and with apologies to Chase Winovich, Josh Allen and a handful of other defenders, Burns has been the most disruptive pass-rusher from this rookie class through four weeks. The No. 16 overall pick has 2.5 sacks, but where he really stands out is with nine quarterback knockdowns, which is tied for second in the NFL behind Shaq Barrett. Pass-rushers usually turn about 45% of their knockdowns into sacks, and Burns' aptitude in getting to the quarterback suggests his sack totals are likely to rise. He is the only defender in the league with at least two quarterback hits in each of his first four games.

Burns ranks 14th in ESPN's pass rush win rate metric, which paces all rookie pass-rushers, although Allen is just behind him at 15th. Of Burns' sacks, 1.5 would qualify as coverage sacks, but the other one is one of the filthiest sacks of the season, with Burns making Cardinals tackle Jordan Mills look like a grandfather. Burns is already showing off uncommon bend and flexibility as a pass-rusher. He's already a problem for opposing offenses.
