Panthers Not Set At Wide Receiver

You have to look at the big picture. The draft is loaded at WR, RB, CB (not elite, but solid players). The draft is not so loaded at TE, LT (most players have an asterisk), QB, LB, and S. Why spend in areas where we can find talent in the draft if we have a limited amount of $$?

Our money should be spent where we can't find good free agents. Just my opinion. I think Jaelen Strong, for example, is better than either of the players you mention and i think he would be cheaper.

If I was confident we would draft a WR I would feel better but I just have a feeling Gman is going to draft a DE or something like that in the draft

I would feel less secure if Hurney were the GM.  I am betting that we draft a DE and a WR in the first 2 rounds.

The question is do we sign a free agent or draft a WR to be our #2 guy? The draft is supposed to be deep with WRs so I would feel fine with signing a Cecil Shorts or Micheal Crabtree and drafting a mid round WR to develop. I still feel Stephen Hill and recently signed Mike Brown could develop into something special.

Is it bad I think we should sign Nicks?

Not at all. For the right price he would be a solid player and upgrade over Cotchery. His problem is staying healthy.

FA hasn't even started yet and someone's bitching cause GMan hasn't brought in T Smith? Oh boy....

We won't get Torrey Smith. He will be the top WR in free agency and will get over paid.

Nicks stayed healthy for most of the year as a Colt right?  So, maybe he can keep that going?  How close was he to signing last year?  Will I ask another question?

I think we're in better position than we were last year. Definitely hope we bring someone in still.. But if you think about, Benjamin will improve, brown emerged at the end of the year, before we literally had no speed or deep threat, now we have two (sure not great but better than last year). And I think cotchery can be decent now that we have deep threats, not quick but good route runner and would be able to find some holes in the defense with the D having to account for the deep play..

Let's just hope we bring in some more talented rookies or FA...so we don't depend on Cotchery, Brown, Bersin or Ginn for anything but 4th (mostly) maybe 3rd (sometime) receiving options. .

      Shaq Thompson Remains a Free Agent

      Torn achilles.  The reason he was out more than half of last season.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      When the panthers are bad, we sell a shockingly low number of jerseys, and options become limited. In the good years, we had a lot of different options. I think T-Mac is going to have to play well on the field for his jersey to get produced in the FUSE template.

      Panthers sign Hunter Renfrow

      By CRA · Posted

      it's not the only way to be a threat, it's certainly important for certain roles in an offense and for certain type players and offenses.  as is the ability to get open quickly and generate easy throws.   as far as Renfrow goes, I have consistently said he is sort of his own thing and not really in comp w/ others here.  It's a niche role/job.  Anyone talking about something else from him isn't me.  Just depends if we want to do what he does and if he can still do it.  as far as AT goes, yeah, he does lower our ceiling given the % of our offense that goes through him and his limitations at this stage in his career.    He should be a roleplayer, much like Renfrow should be if we want to insert what he does into the O....not an O being run through him.    Renfrow isn't going to lower the ceiling if used correctly.  Niche assignments to move chains.   It's like a short yardage RB that comes in to pick a random play.  Renfrow is best at that 3rd and 4 type scenario IMO. AT lowers the ceiling because we build the pass game off an old WR that shouldn't be the focal point of a pass attack.  Not to mention, Bryce Young is practically tailor made to get the ball in the hands of YAC players.   So you need those type on the field.
