We Have 4, 1-Trick Pony Receivers

Recommended Posts

Ginn-Primarily a Returner

Cotchery-slant/possession receiver

Brown-just fast

Bersin-crossing possession receiver

Any ideas about how we can consolidate all these traits into just one receiver? Who would that receiver be?

I'm saying Hakeem Nicks to replace Cotch/Bersin and Brown.

if a WR is BPA at one of our picks, I say go for it, otherwise, I think Nicks with Ginn with Brown in 4-wide sets make for solid compliments to KB and Olsen.

was hoping someone had at least one recommendation, receiver-wise, on an actual receiver that has all of these qualities so we didn't have to use so many roster spots- whether it be draft/FA

I say Hakeem Nicks. I don't think Crabtree has the skills. What about some possible draft able players.

I just see this as a huge disadvantage for us and was looking for a few names that are more versatile.

So if they're fast they're a field stretcher and if they're not fast they can only be a possession receiver. Only two types of receivers in the NFL. Got it.

not only two types, just that we only have 2-types. there are quick guys that can be great in the slot, there are fast guys that get separation by timing and precise route running. there are guys that are good in seam routes, because of their size or speed. just looking for a guy that can do it all and wondering if that guy is out there. sure would be nice to cut 3 receivers and use their combined salaries for that 1 versatile receiver.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
