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.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      While I'd love to add him, it just doesn't make sense for where we are at in our re-build right now. The only teams who should be interested are those who have a very legitimate shot at winning the SB this season, as any team who makes the trade is going to be mortgaging their future to make the move. Teams who make these kinds of trades and then give them the massive contract, in the hopes that it will expedite their path to contention, ALWAYS ends up backfiring because they have to give up the 1st round picks that are then needed to help build out the rest of the roster after eating up such a significant chunk of the cap on the new contract. There is no way the Cowboys trade him for anything less than 2 future 1st rounders (and probably more), plus we'll have to make him the highest paid non QB in league history.  Not to mention that it would then have made the Scourton and/or Princely picks a bit of a waste, as those 2nd and 3rd round picks would have been better off used on a ILB or DB

      Like his approach to pre season that's ro get them out there and play together for a few plays and right about the night before and morning before.  Maybe we can come out the gate on fire I can smell the smoke from here!!   Go Panthers
