Our wide receiver corp

The question I have is do we really need to make any splashes for this position?  In my opinion we have a solid group presently.  The trait that was obviously missing last year was speed.  This has been addressed with the addition of Ted.

 

Bersin: was solid for us minus the KR/PR.  That issue is no longer an issue.

 

KB: going into his second year.  He was not happy with his performance and the drops I expect him to be greatly improved next season.

 

 

Cotch:  There is quite a bit of hate but this guy is a solid 3rd down receiver.  

 

Olson:  Nothing needs to be said 

 

The practice squad guys such as Stephen Hill, Mike Brown might be something the Panthers look at but I do not see a glaring need at this point to go out and drop 6-8 million dollars on a wide receiver when it could and should be spent on the o-line.

WR group is still trash. I'd like for us to look at other WR's in free agency, and still go after one in the draft. Still need a #1 or 2 WR...depending on how you view KB. This draft coming up is a good one to use to obtain that 1 or 2.

I consider Bersin, Cotchery, Hill, etc to be scrubs. Need to use FA/draft to push out the scrubs.

so ted ginn makes our receivers go from trash to solid?

 

I did not see it as trash last season.  I saw it as mediocre.  We lacked speed and that is all we lacked.  That has been addressed.  The problem last year was protection and that is a fact.

Honestly, Bersin is JAG.  He wouldn't make many if any other NFL roster.

 

KB is a stud.

 

Olsen is a stud, but he's a TE, not a WR.

 

Cotchery is a stop gap who absolutely should not be any higher than #4 on the depth chart.

 

Brown is a 4/5 WR type guy on a decent NFL roster.

 

Ginn is a 3/4 WR/PR type guy on a decent NFL roster.  I only say this because of the success he's already had here.  Based on the rest of his NFL career, he's a pure PR/KR.

 

In other words, yes, we have a HUGE need for a starting WR.

Coverage sacks constituted to our bad oline play as well. Sometimes Cam had great protection and no one could even think of getting open.

protection was indeed a problem, but our receivers dropped passes and struggled to get open all year.

Don't sugarcoat it, bro.  Outside of KB, our WR corps was pure hot garbage.

 

KB:  73 catches, 1008 yards, 9 TDs (Yay!!!)

Cotchery:  48 catches, 580 yards, 1 TD

Brown:  21 catches, 296 yards, 2 TDs

Avant:  21 catches, 201 yards, 1 TD

Bersin:  13 catches, 151 yards, 1 TD

 

That's hot trash.  The rest of our WR corps combined barely eclipsed KB's yardage production by himself and couldn't match his TD total.  We're talking about a rookie WR here.  The guy needs some help.

      I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
