Sirius XM's Moving the Chains talk show ranked the receivers in the NFC South yesterday Results were:

Pat Kirwan

1.Falcons

2.Bucs

3 Panthers

4 Saints

Jim Miller

1. Panthers

2. Bucs

3. Falcons

4. Saints

Its hard for me to see our group above Atlanta's and equally hard to see the Saints at the bottom. It should be noted that Jim Miller was a QB and should have a good eye for receiving talent. Either way it looks like Cam has weapons this year compared to the rest of the division.

Atlanta really has Julio jones, white, Hester and Hardy and a  bunch of guys the rest of the way at WR and TE.  They could end up first depending on how Hardy plays and whether White stays healthy. We match up pretty well with Benjamin, Funchess, Ginn and Brown. Where we exceed them is adding in Olsen who we use primarily as a receiver  and is the best TE in the division right now. 

Tampa may have as much talent at WR and TE as Atlanta or us but didn't have a quarterback who could throw the ball. And the Saints receivers are Not that great athletically outside of Cooks and maybe Colston but up until last year Brees was able to make them look better than they were and they had Jimmy Graham. Hard to say what they will do in 2015.

interesting that Kirwin who I like thinks Funchess's  speed is an issue given he usually watches lots of film and would see that he plays faster than he showed at the combine. I guess that will be his knock until he shows folks that speed is not his biggest issue and his hands are very solid.

Yeah, if Funch can contribute.  The excuses for Cam finally stop this year.  Unless Oher becomes worse than Bell.  

You have been around long enough to know that if the offense is great it is because of Cam and if it sucks it is because of Shula and Rivera.

Dickson did not start to get it late last year because that is not his intended role. He was brought in to be a blocker/fullback and not a pass catching TE. 

not true, he was definitely brought in to catch passes and be an all around TE which includes blocking. He became a pure blocker due to injuries.

      Panthers re-signing P Sam Martin

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Sam Martin   CARPunter#6 Panthers re-signed P Sam Martin to a two-year contract. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Martin’s deal is up to $5 million. Martin joined the Panthers last season on a one-year deal and wound up booting 56 punts for an average of 47.2 yards per punt. Martin is a 13-year vet of the league who has spent time with four different franchises. He landed a career-best 48.2 percent of his kicks inside his opponent’s 20-yard line last season.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Basbear · Posted

      Surprised CB is that low.  19th is odd spot. For many recent drafts, teams only felt there were around 14 first round players.  So to many 19 is just an early second and doesn't hold the value of a first.  If you go off- the smart path of LT, QB, edge, WR, CB, etc. Whatever your OG, Safety, ILB, etc needs to be a difference maker, that's the key point. I've said the 8th best edge is better than the 1st safety. Same for QB and even WRs. You should 100% factor in position value.  MHS you've been wanting a FS, let me tell you its super difficult to be a difference making FS. You're just sooo farrrr away from the action and the end result most times. If you're in the play, defense made mistakes in order. Now to talk out of both sides, maaaaaann that white boy from Oregon....I thought he crushed the combine and honestly that alone made me rethink "is he worth 19 now?!?!" he's now in the discussion for me, but still below others.    Plus I feel TE is vastly underrated in value terms. But looking at the last 20 years of TEs in the first, its down right bad. You're better like X10 better drafting one in 4th or 5th.
