Young and Coker were not in the 4 players named as best players nobody is talking about.

They were discussing Canales mostly. They said Young wasn't rock bottom anymore.

 

I think some are responding as of Coker and Young made their list.

I have no idea why Coker gets so much love around here. He may develop into something at some point, but he’s just not an impact player right now (yes, I know he had a long TD vs the Cowboys). People on here talk about him like he’s an all pro, then you watch the games and he’s nonexistent. I can’t remember a more overhyped player on the huddle.

I have no idea why people question why fans like underdogs

 I suppose it has to be obvious to some, but the title of this is "Players nobody is talking about." and your response is "everyone is talking about Coker."Regardless,  He is an Undrafted free agent whose numbers have surpassed or equaled what players drafted day 2 are doing.  He is a positive during a time when we have few positives. He has been injured too, btw, which might explain how you think he has been "nonexistent."  He has played in 9 games and has nearly 400 yards.   He was not drafted.  Keon Coleman (33rd pick overall) has played in 12 games and has 498 yards--with Buffalo--an established team with a pro bowl/MVP QB.  So I am not sure that you are grasping the value of Coker--which may explain your lack of appreciation for him.

Because he's all hands and attacks the ball by plucking it out from the air. I don't remember the last WR we had that did that.

It's Thielen.

 

BTW, Thielen is the perfect model for him to follow.

It’s a product of the team being so bad over the last 6-7 seasons. They haven’t developed players and they haven’t discovered the diamonds in the rough players. So when a player like Coker comes along, an UDFA rookie and makes an impact, of course the fans are going to be overly hyped. But the fact the Panthers found a WR who could contribute as an UDFA is something I can’t say they’ve had since what, Philly Brown?

      Bryce Young May Be The Answer

      By mav1234 · Posted

      My response was to your comment specifically about two of the three QBs referenced. You said they were "just ball distributors." They were not. You then said in Y2 they were... They still were not. Brady won a Superbowl and Manning was considered a generational talent.  We don't need to compare BY to these guys. As to Brock Purdy, he's had a great 2.5 seasons in one of the NFLs best offenses. And still, that offense has been better with him than any backup as well as any QB before him. It'll be interesting to see how the 9ers handle him.  If your point is that the greatest of all time aren't the greatest of all time in their first couple seasons, you can just say that without denigrating some of the best QBs to ever play...

      2024 Draft Picks

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      I think XL is going to be just fine. His mistakes have stuck out a lot more because they've been in clutch situations. If a few plays go a different way he's at least over 500 yds receiving and 5 TDs, that's not bad at all for a rookie.

      2024 Draft Picks

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Look at our WR situation from the other side. Who are you going to put your better CBs on?  Johnson and Theilen went out early---XL had 138 yards in the first three games on 12 catches.  Yardage-wise, that is over 30% of his total for the season.  12 catches is nearly 30% of his catches for the season. When these players went out--Johnson, AT, Mingo, etc.  it left XL facing the best corners of the opposition for many games.  He is raw--we knew that when we drafted him.  You can't throw a raw WR at the best CBs in the NFL and expect instant success.  If he spent the season facing the second or even third best CBs on each team, he'd probably have better stats.  Legette is still thinking out there, in my view. When the light comes on, he will be good. ------------------------------------------------ Hearing that there is noise to play Velus Jones over the next two games.  We will see if they do.
