Randall Cobb, and Maclin are cool but...

Cecil Shorts is my number one guy to go after in FA... The guy has never had a QB, and still produced. He displays great route running and great hands. He's exactly what we need, and will come at a song of a price when compared to Maclin and Cobb. I'd really hate for us to go all in on a guy like Cobb because he's coming from Aaron Rogers. I'm not saying he's a bad WR but he could be a huge risk and just pan out as a 'product of the system' kinda guy. What we need to look at is a guy who has not hit his ceiling yet and has been held back by bad QB's but still showed production. (Ted Ginn showed production here imagine what a guy like Shorts would do) Shorts is that guy, and will come at a steal compared to Maclin and cobb. Maclin worries me as well because he's a burner but never showed great route running or hands even for that matter throughout his tenure with the Eagles hence why they didn't tag him. We bring in Shorts draft Dorial-Green Beckham (love the kid despite off the field issues), and all of a sudden your looking at plethora of Wr's for Cam for less then what some sucker is going to pay for Cobb or Maclin. The numbers in jacksonville are not impressive, (which I like because he will come cheap) but my god the guy had Gabbert and Bortles as his QB's.

The Eagles didn't tag Maclin because he ostensibly isn't worth that kind of money.  Now why don't the Jags want to lock up their off-again-on-again WR1 for the last few years when they have a crap load of cap space, more than any other team?  Oops, did I answer that?

Because they drafted Marquise Lee, and Allen Robinson... O and there also the Jags... Oops, did I answer that?

All I am saying is that the Eagles want Maclin, and the Packers want Cobb.  The Jags don't seem to want Shorts at any price according to what I've been reading.  He has a history of soft tissue injuries which have hampered him his whole career, even last season during his contract year.  He has been hurt so much here and there (and has played injured, slowing him down), I can't even get excited by his upside.  But if G-man signs him to a cheap deal, I will not be upset about it either. For my money Kenny Britt is a much more superior option, and Denarius Moore is a much faster and more explosive receiver than Shorts who has intriguing upside.  But, God bless him if he becomes a Panther. I hope that he stays on the field and ups his game wherever he ends up.

I actually do like him better than Britt or Moore, thats just my opinion.  The goal is not to have a guy who is a #2, but to get a guy who is a #2 but can play like a #1 when needed, and Shorts did that in spurts in Jacksonville, where as Britt and Moore just haven't done that yet.  One of them might very well be better, but IMO, they haven't really proven it on the field.  Now you are right, he's had injury concerns, and that is where his concern is for me, but I think when healthy he is a better option than Britt or Moore.

Britt was the #1 for the Rams last year

748 - WR Kenny Britt <-----------------------------

435 - WR Stedman Bailey

375 - WR Brian Quick

242 - WR Tavon Austin

159 - WR Chris Givens

118 - WR Austin Pettis

634 - TE Jared Cook

259 - TE Lance Kendricks

compare to 2014 Panthers:

1008 - WR Kelvin Benjamin

580 - WR Jerricho Cotchery

296 - WR Philly Brown

201 - WR Jason Avant (went to KC where he caught for 152 more)

151 - WR Brenton Bersin

1008 - TE Greg Olsen

115 - TE Ed Dickson

44 - TE Brandon Williams

    • Not looking good for TB. Buffalo and Habs fans are the worst so I will be cheering for the meteor. 
    • Arguing about who had what and who did what with more is just going to end in the same charades. If we're going to waste a lot of hot air arguing then make it about something that cannot be denied. What you are seeing with your own two eyes. Cam Newton was a tremendously talented athlete albeit flawed in fundamental aspects. And although he played poorly in and lost a Super Bowl you cannot deny him that more often than not through his prime his teammates knew they could count on him to hold up his end of the bargain usually and be a key driving force for keeping them in games. Giving his defense much needed rest and motivation in wanting to match his grit as a competitor. That aspect is just not there with Bryce Young. Yeah he's dumped on the Falcons in a dome twice but what about his other 44 games? When has the Panthers defense the last three years ever looked at their starting quarterback and thought to themselves "man I'm so glad he's my QB"?
    • Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
