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.

      Give Legette another season?

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.

      Nah we just talking about giving a platform and normalizing predators (who both beat women) opinions and celebrating it if it fits your narrative.  If that's fun I'm fine being a miserable fug by not supporting P.O.S like that. N b4 you call me a libtard or some other dumb ish know I'm an Anarchist/Libertarian and believe both these dudes should get a complete ass whooping (at min) or something worse for what they have done to women in this world.
