Should Shenault get more playing time?

[CRA]

Probably some.   But not a lot.  You have to scheme him up.   And I’d rather them scheme up CMC or DJ.  
 

I think the Panthers should be rotating a lot more WRs in.  Outside of DJ, nobody else is good enough to demand a lions-share of snaps.  Robbie should have his cut for Higgins, Shenault and I still think they should have TMJ getting more work.

I'unno about all that. Robbie seems to be the only receiver Baker has any rapport with. Shenault over Shi, for sure, though. Higgins over Shi. Shi over TMJ. TMJ over... I'm sure there's someone.

After watching some film study of the offense. I blame it on the sorry as routes. There isn't any sharp cuts in their routes. Nothing to create separation. Just alot of strength routes, which the DBs can run with them.

The routes are horrible and long developing garbage for the most part

...they look like lazy practice routes....unless they're trying to set up a DB...but no bodies azz ever seems open.....you know...like I see with other teams...

After seeing McAdoo in action...I kinda feel bad for sh*t talkin Shula all those years.

Here’s an idea… what if he was our back up RB or used like cmc? Take reps off CMC and give him reps where he can use his strengths.

This is what most people don't get.  The underlying question is whose snaps is Shenault going to take.  Uh, a little off the top of almost everybody, which keeps WRs fresher, and keeps the defense adjusting because he is very different from our other receivers. 

[Pejorative Miscreant]

Well he’s a good player and puts in a lot of work. But we need to get other receivers involved. And we need to run the ball because those other teams in the playoffs run the ball and pass the ball too. So I think he needs to take advantage of his opportunities and be prepared to play even tho he’s not gonna get opportunities and we’re not gonna play him.  
 

it’s a process and it’s working.  Trust me.

Sure, if Shi Smith had three consecutive seasons of thousand yard plus receiving.  

None of the three have been burning it up so far. Yes QB play has been dreadful and this funky offense is garbage, but DJ has struggled to get separation on routes. 

[Mickimey1972]

Yes he should get more targets. We have a player that had two catches for 90 yards and a TD. It’s the OC job to get him more involved regardless of who gets less touches. Didn’t limit Smitty to save old Karl Hankton’s touches.

Definitely why would we bench our most productive WR this season lol crazy the hate Robbie gets. Shi this year is our weakest link easy answer on who to bench for now.

Shi Smith is like a video game WR that has a lot of speed and you can build his other attributes up because he is always open. In real life though, it does not compute across the board and its nothing but a bunch of drops and terrible routes.

Also, the Robbie hate is not crazy. He is a malcontent pouter who wishes he could carry Ted Ginn's jock. He has super mediocre route skills and suspect hands as well as being one of the worst blocking WRs to step on the field. He may be our most productive WR, but that ain't hard to be right now. Let's not forget how many times Baker missed DJ this weekend. 

[Tommy Jone]

Dude is a bigger Curtis Samuel. What you need is a coordinator that excels with gadget stuff that actually works. With that said, he'll probably flame out after a few weeks

[Jon Snow]

He can take Ian's and Chuba's snaps. Hell he can take some snaps from just about any pass catcher as not a single one of them are a must have on every play.
