We Have 4, 1-Trick Pony Receivers

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.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      Who is "they"?  Who in the media still argues that Bryce Young could reach the levels that people thought he would before the draft? I mean, nobody is going to come outright and bash the kid.  By all accounts he's a good dude and I think that is why you don't see the media come after him like they did Zach Wilson.

      It started during the Denver game after that first drive. i don’t think the panthers got a first down again until the fourth quarter.

      QB 2026 (For the Young Haters)

      By Mage · Posted

      The Panthers will finish with at least 7-8 wins.  So that leaves them with only two "smart" choices in my opinion: 1. Sign a reasonably priced free agent QB and see if they are better than Bryce Young in training camp - The issue is there will be very little options.  There is almost no way the Colts let Daniel Jones walk.  Rodgers, Flacco, and Wilson will likely retire (and is Wilson better than Bryce anyway?).  Winston is under contract with the Giants for another year.  That leaves Mariota, which I'm all for, but the Commanders will make a big push to keep him given Daniels' injury history.  Outside of him, there is literally nobody else. 2. Stick with Bryce Young for one more year - Nobody wants this to happen, but the Panthers won't be in a position to draft one in the first round and it isn't a strong class to begin with.  Mendoza, Simpson (and do we really want an Alabama QB?), and Moore will likely all be off the board by the time we pick.  Bryce isn't good, but we are still 5-4.  I'd rather continue to build the rest of the team than reach for a QB.  Then we could set ourselves up nicely in 2027 to make a splash play if we choose.  This is how we should have approached years past; stuck with Kyle Allen or Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater and kept building the team until we were ready to make a splash.  But every year we panicked and did something stupid. There is the idea you could throw a dart at a guy in the later arounds, but IMO this just isn't a good QB class and odds are it will be a wasted pick.  I still think we need a lot of depth on the defense.  I'd rather focus there.
