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.

      D and D is the answer.

      For Bryce’s obvious shortcomings (bad pun), there is upside to his game. This isn’t being a homer or apologists, but I like to consider myself fair in criticism.  He’s far tougher than I ever thought he’d be. I really thought homie would have been broken in half by now. I don’t know how he’s not, but he’s not.  He is prone to turning the ball over early in games which digs a huge hole the team is not built to come back from, but dude DOES come up with crucial first down in crucial situations. It’s NEVER pretty, but he just kind of has the shining. He gets bailed out LOTS, and the team still loses games because of him, but he’s a bit of an enigma. He’s a turnover machine that is clutch in big moments.  He’s a smart/elusive cat. He kind of has to be with his limitations. His audibles are almost always correct and he understands coverages. I don’t see him getting fooled too frequently. His turnovers are almost never the ‘damnit Jake/Cam!’ brand we have been accustomed to. They are ALWAYS due to his size/strength limitations.  Strip sacks that shouldn’t be. Picks that happened because he just don’t got that NFL arm. He is still prone to panicking and the wheels can and do fall off at a much higher rate than his peers.  The team is winning on the backs of the defense, running game and special teams… but they’re winning, and unbelievably 1 game behind Tampa. As long as this is happening and Bryce doesn’t go full meltdown, Dave is going to keep him in. He is not getting pulled.

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      This was a terrible podcast. A bunch of uninformed homers that had worse takes than the bottom 10% of the Huddle. I listened to a handful of podcasts this past offseason in search of new Panthers material since John Ellis doesn't do his pod anymore and The 4 Man Rush don't either. Immediately deleted it after the handful I listened to. Truly terrible.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By PappyMay · Posted

      The NFC South was so bad it sent a team with a losing record to the Playoffs that year. Wilks had players playing hard at the end but let’s not act like that was a good season. That season hurts even more now that we see in hindsight how good our QB situation was. We just didn’t know it.
