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.

      So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
