He's the only TE with actual receiving juice since Greg Olsen. We have become almost numb to the idea of drafting an actual TE that can be a difference maker as a franchise... Seriously, TE and S are probably the 2 positions where I feel like this franchise has historically overlooked for the most part. Sanders said he wants to be the next Olsen. Hope he does- having a dependable TE can make an offense so much more dynamic.

Very possible. But, I think TMac and XL both have much higher ceilings than Coker. Will they get there is the question.

That's the caveat that many of us are skimming over. And it's a big one. Most of that room is really young, and we've seen our share of early success in Carolina at the WR position that quickly faded into obscurity.

The power of Shedeur and Aaron.

He is my favorite pick from last draft. Cannot believe he made it to the 4rth

If XL ever gets a post game interview in a playoff game, he's going to become a superstar.

I mean...the lyrics check out.

We're definitely not relevant again yet. Im hopeful for the first time in a long time but it's kinda weird how many fans are acting like we've arrived. There's promise but we still have to go out there and prove it on the field.

I don't pay attention to them once they leave here, so he may be dog poo. I just don't like Eddy's attitude lol Let's go ginger kickers! Big leg go boom~

I decided to get tickets to the last home game this year. Hopefully the team doesn't make me regret it.

On field product aside, it is pretty nice that Carolina and the players are relevant again since the Cam era. Hope we can show out the season and capitalize on the new eyes. Being in Austin it was surreal seeing Panther fans everywhere between 2013-2018.

I think the biggest thing that the Panthers have needed for awhile is wins. Winning fixes everything.

I'm excited to see what JT can do this year. He seems focused and ready to take the next step. Love seeing Coker working out with them this summer as well!

The Cowboys also had some OL issues last year and he still managed 1k+. Pretty nice to be going into a season with (2) 1k backs, both 26/under. And a guy in Etienne who is as fresh as it gets (just 371 total college carries, 62 receptions)

Check your facts, pal. Mahomes started the last game of the regular season his rookie year as the Chiefs benched their starters due to playoff position being locked in. And in that one game he showed significantly more than Bryce has shown in his entire career as a starter. Which is what my post was alluding to. Regarding Cam: Going into 2015 he had 50/1 odds for MVP https://www.cincyjungle.com/2015/8/11/9130505/nfl-mvp-odds-released-for-2015-season But going into 2014 his odds were considerably higher as he was coming off a season where he was clearly a top 10 QB before his 2014 was hampered by injury, a bad team and a down year in terms of his play too. Going into 2014 he was 25/1, tied for 8th best MVP odds in the league. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2014-nfl-mvp-odds-peyton-manning-the-obvious-favorite/ Bryce's odds right now are about 100/1. Again, Bryce is absolutely nowhere near the conversation or even the same stratosphere as those guys and putting any amount of money on him to win MVP would just be throwing your money away.

I personally just don't see it on the field. He's had some nice plays, yeah, but overall my eye test says middle of the pick starter in the 15-17ish range. Which again, is completely fine, great for where he was drafted and the position is not a weakness for the team. But he's not a guy who draws significant attention from the D and helps open up the passing game. Not a factor at all as a receiver. He was 15th in scrimmage yards last year (2 WRs ahead) with high usage and an average at best yards/touch. He's running behind a very good OL lately too. Hopefully he continues to improve and proves me wrong and shows those flashes of elite play more consistently but I just don't see it yet. I like the Dowdle signing and think they will complement each other well. They are nowhere near Double Trouble. 1300+ scrimmage yards is honestly a pretty low benchmark these days and plenty of JAGs have hit it in recent years. Not saying these guys are JAGs (jury out on Dowdle) just that 1300 yards can easily be achieved by a JAG with high enough usage and in good offenses with good OLs.

Don’t think that’s him

As long as the the production matches the personality its fine. If not its just a distraction.

I don’t see it taking very long before Coker supplants himself as the firm #2 option in the WR room. It’s a crowded WR room, but he’s easily capable (IMHO) of a 700 yd 8+ TD type season.

If this is true I don't hate it. We could definitely use "some Miami" on this team. It's something we've lacked since Cam left. And in the 6th round, I feel like we're adding a really good return specialist if nothing else by picking JHJ.

I love what Dan has done to the WR room. This is AT last year, Dan is hoping Hunter will replace AT, that lets Coker have more time to develop behind Hunter (if Hunter doesn’t have it, we move on with Coker as AT replacement) T-Mac and XL will be outside. Horn is the punt returner Moore will be moved to PS until he is needed because of an injury

Absolutely. However, when it comes down to making decisions, he needs to let the surgeons operate and not grab a scalpel because he can. I look at it from his perspective-if he is lacking confidence in the GM (as he should have with Fitterer) or coaches (Rhule and Reich were not right for this team) then I can see some micromanagement. Human nature. So you make good points.

@GloTheofficial sitting on a hidden gem and she ain't even drop it yet...I guess I'll look forward to this for the summer since..... SOMEONE AINT DROPPING....this heat tho, need #keyshiacole as a ft ! Maybe she just called up XL because he's an expert on dropping things?!?

Regardless of an early June injury, the WR room, at least on paper right now, has never been deeper. AT needs to be the slot possession WR (Ricky Proehl) and Coker is quite possibly his long term replacement, if not a solid #2. Renfrow could give us a solid few years as well. XL will probably improve with the TMac competition. TMac is goofy, but on the field, he has done nothing but produce. Horn is sneaky fast, and I wonder if he would not have done better in college at a university that did not have Hunter. He is a deep threat and was on a team with a bad OL, so his numbers were a bit low. In fact, there are two WRs who signed UDFA contracts who will probably go to the PS and wait for a season. We are in fine shape at WR, if everyone progresses.
