Who would I guarantee?  KB, Olsen, Swole.  I like Philly well enough, and he made some nice catches this year, but not nearly enough for any sort of guarantee.  I know the same could be said of Swole, but I like his potential and I need to see more of him actually on the field before I can form an opinion.

Yeah, for me I see Philly as either the 5th or 6th WR, depending on if we get a guy like Ginn,who ideally is your last receiver but an incredible return specialist. I give Philly a spot contingent on what we bring in... He likely is the first guy I would drop from my list if we get something better... But for now, I keep him and Swole for a lot of the same reasons - versatility and potential,although I believe Swole has far greater potential,hence why Philly would be the first gone from my current list.

Why on earth do you all think Swole Bones is guaranteed a spot? Did I miss something?

I said if YOU were Gettleman.

Swole has incredible potential and talent,he just needs to be utilized. Furthermore, he contributes on offense and ST, and has big play ability even in his limited reps he has seen thus far.

So if I'm Gettleman, I'm holding onto him until he proves he's not worthy of holding onto.

We are the franchise that signed Charles Godfrey to an extension so holding onto a young player with incredible talent to see if he blossoms doesn't bother me in the least.

I don't see it. I haven't seen much improvement in how many seasons now?

Zach Miller just hit FA and Jordan Cameron will too. I'd rather have Ed Dickson near vet minimum and be TE #3 and sign one of them at #2.

-edit- I do agree he should at least get a shot in camp this year though.

Philly is he caliber of WR at this stage where he only would be a lock on a team with little talent and depth....

So yeah, I guess here he qualifies. But he wouldn't be a LOCK for your average team at WR. He'd be the guy with potential you hoped developed.

That ain't a Philly knock. I think he can become a good WR and our 3 (3 on a good team). Dude is fast and tough. But he isn't "lock" good by a long ways

benjamin and olsen.

This. While it's best to wait until training camp to ask these questions because our roster isn't complete until after we draft and sign free agents.

Olsen and KB are the only ones a guaranteed to make the roster. Cotchery is old and in the decline. Brown should make the roster unless we sign a few big name WRs and draft some but there's always a small chance he won't make the team. Bersin is far from a lock, even though he can return punts he horrible at it. Stephen Hill couldn't make the team this season but it's all in his hands literally if he can make the team this season. Brandon Williams may be a favorite around here but he has never been more than a #3 TE and didn't do well last season. I feel we will try to resign Dickson to be our back up TE.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
