Who were the pleasant surprises from last year?

I can't remember much about the season last year. Had a lot going on like most people so it was all pretty much a blur. By the time the season got started life was all about work and recovering from work so I barely paid attention.

I'm trying to think of what this team might look like going forward, but without a better understanding of what we were able to do with who we had, it's kind of hard.

So who were the standouts on offense and defense? Think about the obvious and the not so obvious that you'd like to see more of going forward. The guys that should be included in the plans for 2021.

 

Also...who were the ones that we don't need to waste anymore time on? I prefer to see who were the shiny bits from last year, but it's also good to know who y'all think we should move on from.

 

thanks in advance.

On offense our receivers stood out I thought.

On defense the obvious standouts were Burns and Chinn with promising starts from Brown and flashes from YGM.

I'd like to move on from Slye and happy we moved on from Boston

I really wanted us to add Jose Borregales from Miami, that kid is so accurate. He doesn't just make his kicks, he centers almost all of them. Unfortunately Tampa Bay picked him up. Will be interesting to see if he can beat out Ryan Succop.

Well you didn’t specifically ask about this...but special teams. 

I’m personally tired of the Joey Sly experiment at K

Thought the local kid we brought off his couch to punt did a good job.  

I still would like someone I felt confident in as a PR guy.  Just fielding them clean has been a nerve racking feeling most seasons.

I feel like both John Miller and Juston Burris were quite overlooked by the fans but were pretty damn good at times.  Not world beaters but I just don't see them really talked of much.

Otherwise I would say the entire draft class minus Thomas-Oliver.

Also add on Carter Jr. fighting his way through the doghouse and into Rhule's favor.

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
