Is Coker that good or is our bar for WR play that low?

Amazing hands from what I've seen and ability to get open. Idk beyond that but I'd say a lot of potential with that one

You could say the same thing for bryce. They both have nothing but sample sizes.

Love anyone on this team getting flowers. Great to hear good things about coach from a outside 3rd party.

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?
