Piece on green.

Green said he heard from several teams that he could be a sixth- or seventh-round draft pick, and he hoped his time had come when the Panthers called him early in the seventh round. Carolina instead drafted California safety D.J. Campbell, but shortly after the draft the Panthers called back, and Green didn't hesitate.

"I basically fell in love with them way before, when I had worked out for them and had different conversations with them over the past few months," Green said. "So when other teams called, my heart was already leaning toward Charlotte.

"I used to go to training camp with my father and sleep in the dorm. They would give him a room with two beds, and I would sleep there. I even went to meetings. I've been here before, but this is a great opportunity to do it myself."

Very good article about Green. The relationship he has with his father is beautiful. Kinda jelly, not gonna lie. He may have an advantage over the other wide outs given that his father knows his poo and is one of the best CB's to touch the field.

I hope he does something here in Carolina. Him falling in love with Charlotte could be the Cam effect. Either way, good luck to him.

His comments about the leadership here is what caught my interest and he hasn't even met the vets yet, lol.

Hope he makes it, you can never have too much speed on ST and at the skil positions.

David Gettis is gonna have to work his ass off, Person also said Chris Manno was running very fluid routes, then you have Green who can get vertical quick like Gettis.

I think Gettis is safe barring any injury reoccurrence. AE is gone, IMO.

I forgot AE was still on the team.
So I guess the WR depth chart would look like this


Steve Smith
Brandon Lafell
David Gettis

Slot: Joe Adams/Chris Manno?

[Argus Plexus]

The only way AE stays is if they dump Pickles and keep AE as 3rd QB. Yeah, unlikely. He might get Practice Squad, who knows. I hope Green finds a place with the team and blows up.

AE has played too many games to be eligible for practice squad.

He's outta here, then.

He did that his rookie year. He strikes me as the guy that thrives with competition. At worst he'll be #3 in the depth chart. At least that's what I believe. LaFell kinda earned that #2 spot last year. Barring any free agent signing that is.

Pilares, Adams will battle for that #4. That last spot will be chaos man. There's a lot of talent at WR.

[ladypanther]

He has some pretty weak stats but got to love his attitude. Sounds like a great kid.

[lineal89]

We've definitely got competition at WR and other positions this year. Competition is a good thing, guys should never feel safe and comfortable.

[rayzor]

we should/could have one of the best young WR corps in the league. may not have any "stars" emerge as far as stat monsters but as a solid and very respectable WR corps we could be great.

i think we have a QB and a system that can make good WRs great.

Ivan put the nail in, you hit it. Between Chud and Cameron, all they need is for guys to run the right routes. If everyone is on the right page, Cameron will hit the right guy.

Lafell is #2 at this time. (They did let NaNa go.) Gettis leads the rest, however that plays out.

Rivera is on record as saying, the best 11 will be on the field. So if I am right, that leaves 3 spots left. Adams probably has 1 as a PR, so that leaves 2. If Pilares is leading the KR race that would leave 1. Seeing that Adams and maybe Pilares may see limited time at WR, that would mean that there are at best, 2 spots open. This is going to be fun watching this all play out.

I see the talent. I see a QB that can utilize said talent. I see an OC, in Chud, that can exploit that talent. And lastly, I see Armanti needing a spectacular off-season to remain on the team.

Rivera pretty much let Mac run the D last year. They are both going to have a hand in the D this year. That alone says volumes. If a Panther fan cannot get behind that. There may be no hope for him/her. Even if only half of our injured players return, we are improved. If they all return, we are gold. I would go so far as to say we may be the gold standard.

I have been a fan for a long time. I am so old that I remember black and white TV. This is as excited as I have ever been. The Lions look good. And my Panthers look very good. I am in giddy heaven.

Gettis would have to suffer a major injury to fall any lower than #3 on the depth chart.

I have a feeling that Gettis and LaFell will play more on the outside than Smith does this year, who plays more in the slot than he has in the past. Adams and Pilares will be the other slot guys, which hurts Manno seeing as he is also another guy who seems like he'll strictly play in the slot. Might give Green the advantage in the competition on who sticks if all things are equal unless we plan on carrying 7 receivers.

I like Gettis just as much as the next person, but he's very likely on the same level as the rookies, with regards to this coaching staff. He didn't make it out of his first training camp with this staff, so I doubt that's he's earned much with them, if anything.
