Seeing him make those catches and miss the easy ones makes me nervous.

Lord knows we don't need him to develop into another Brandon Lloyd.

agreed. brandon lloyd sure could make the dynamic catch every once in a while but it was always in the midst of a bunch of of horrible misses of what should have been easy catches.

i don't want this Brandon L to have the same results as that other Brandon L.

5 drops? I think some of you are being a little hard on the guy. I saw one that was high right on the sidelines, that would have been a great catch, had he made it, so I don't count that as a drop. Also, that TD pass he " dropped" was not really a drop. If anybody has seen the snapshot of that play at the Observer, the DB clearly had his hand on the point of the ball, so that one too would have been a very very tough catch.

You can go back and read my posts from camp the first day he didnt catch a single ball thrown to him. Im sure he can get better but we dont need someone that will be great 3 years from now, we need him now. If we can get one more good not even great reciever then we can go along way this year. Maybe I am to hard on him but he gets paid to perform.

That was a dumb one handed catch. He used one arm to hold himself up and the other to catch the ball. Good catch though

Looked like if he had not held himself up with one hand, he would have gone to the ground too fast and not had a chance to catch the ball. Yes, very good catch.

Yeah, but the first day of camp don't mean anything right now. He will get better as the season goes along anyway. I'm very confident of that.

What? You don't expect a rookie to break every record ever recorded while solving world hunger? Stop being a homer! :P

      Man whether it's the Panthers or the Hornets it's crazy how many foolish talking heads there are in the local media. I just unsubscribed from locked on Hornets. Doug Branson with his cheesy mustache is an absolute clown especially when his partner isn't on. Talking about trading LaMelo because he can't win basketball games by himself with no semblance whatsoever of a legitimate Center. These YouTube personalities will say anything for a damn click.

      Dream big: Imagine this future and tell me how you feel

      I’m hoping for that exact same scenario, two seconds would be big for us. I’d hope for 3 impact players. A WR/DL/DE that can contribute like this current class would be key to our rebuild.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      When I look at what I can find, a carryover problem from last season is our receivers are still unable to get enough separation on a consistent basis. Canales is certainly better at scheming them open, like how he sneaked out Thielen for a big play. But then he's also having Thielen running routes he frankly shouldn't be doing anymore. I feel part of the RZ issues is not really having anyone - after trading Diontae - who can make those quick cuts on a short field to give whoever is under center a wider window to throw. We also only have one guy with blazing speed in Thompkins and from what I could see, he's really used more to draw away coverage. I bring this all up because what Canales needs for sustained success - other than QB - is the other receiver pieces we'll be getting in the offseason.  Otherwise, I have to say that Canales isn't as afraid to be aggressive offensively. As others mentioned, still doesn't run the ball enough at times. Finally, I still feel his playcalls still doesn't line up with his mantra of getting rid of the ball within x amount of seconds. Maybe I count too slow. Oh, and I'm glad Canales first game after a bye looked good. I feared he'd be like Ron Rivera where we would fall flat on our faces.
