For those of you disappointed in no first round WR

There is literally zero difference in WRs that were available at 25 and any number of guys available in rounds two and three.

They all have the same probability of coming into the NFL and making an impact.

Gettleman told us in his presser that this draft class didn't have as many top end guys, but was deeper. Not as many sure things, but more guys that could contribute.

I look for the Panthers to take a WR in two or three, and for that choice to contribute just as much as a late first round WR pick.

Given DG is at the helm, I look for nothing and just let it come haha

 

But yep, totally agree bout the WRs.  Rashad Greene, Devin Smith, etc. plenty and more left (*fingers crossed)

This! people are way to Glued to the 40 times.  Dorsett and Perriman do have good speed but have horrible hands.  Not that Huge of a drop off in Strong, Smith, Greene, and Lockett

Perriman will be a bust- quote me

 

runs only verticals, bad hands, and oh yea his mentor: STEVE SMITH- sure smitty is nice now, but I guarantee you come September Perriman is going to be mentally exhausted from Smitty constantly beating him down

He was drafted into the perfect situation. Flacco's deep ball is a thing of beauty and that's where Perriman will make his bread. 

 

 

lol because drafting an only vertical WR in round 1 has worked so well in the past

Heck no, dude has stone hands.  He did catch well at his pro day.  But thats always been his knock besides his size even going back to STA (where he played 2nd fiddle to rashad green).  Guy can jump up and make an occasional difficult catch, but seen him hit in full stride laying right in his hands.  And it looked like the football was greased down. Many of times

Dorsett has pretty damn good hands.

the offense will be addressed quite a bit in the next couple days with very little drop off from what we could have picked up at 25.

i want cam protected and given more weapons, but i'm not going to stress about it. the OL and WR groups are better off now than they were last year and we've got quite a few picks left to help add more to what we have. i don't know if we'll get anything more than depth at OT (but after humphries got picked, we wouldn't have had anything more than depth to choose fro.com anyway). at WR we've got quite a few options who can come in and be that #2 WR for cam and help open up our offense (as much as shula will allow anyway).

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.

      Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
