This is spot on. Our growth has been evident at every position group except ol and wr, they’ve been getting worse each season

Totally missed the most important position on the field. We have not gotten better year over year at QB or even stayed even. I thought Nico could get there, but he wasn't seeing the field well in the middle of last season.

OL affected Nico, Nico affected the WR's. Regardless of what people think about the WR's, they have been open for 4 straight years. Time after time. Get a QB like Hooker who can get them the ball more consistently.

Uhh...my guy have you not kept up with free agency? Although most of that is Calvin, he alone is eating 28m cap hit...

But Burks (4.5m) & Lockett (4m) are also on the books. The rest of the WR group is about 1m a piece and they added quite a few via draft/free agency

I have - but it’s a mediocre - at best - wr room. That’s a steep price for mediocrity.

That is a bit damning in that of any position on the field, Heupel should be strong with coaching QBs.

Our o-line is going to stellar next year, maybe tops in the country. I still contend that the wr were not bad, there were tons of open receivers last season. They were either missed or missed. It think the wr play had more to do with o-line and qb than the receivers themselves.

Yeah...I think better QB play and the WR room would have looked a lot better this season and last.

There is a reason the pro QBs talk about a catchable ball and how important that is rather than velocity or being able to just sling it a mile.

Knowing where your receiver is, helps.

Throwing a catcheable ball, helps.

Being able to do backflips, doesnt.IMG_9358.gif
