Looks like Panthers have signed WR Kevin Norwood

I absolutely hate our philosophy on WRs.   I just don't understand it.  This was so stupid...   For everyone talking trash about how there isn't anything better among free agents, you're telling me we couldn't have found better than Norwood? 

We love guys with horrible measureables and who generally suck (KB the exception).  

I'm starting to think we don't care about getting guys who can catch and make plays because we're really just looking for extra blockers.

they were referenced as such by the media last year and most.  Graham certainly improves there pass attack tremendously.  WR talent in a vaccum......not strong at all until proven otherwise.

Because the media says it, it must be true.

I've watched plenty of Seattle games over the past few years and their WR corps has been extremely underrated for a while now - especially when Tate was still there.  They don't have a super flashy guy like Megatron, Julio Jones, AJ Green, Dez Bryant, etc., but  what they do have is a bunch of really solid guys.

They all are capable of big plays, have reliable hands, attack the ball, decent-to-good run blockers and don't stop trying to get open even after done with their routes.  They ALL seemingly run the scramble drill to perfection as well, which is huge with a mobile QB.

Don't believe the hype, they've had several quality #2 level guys there, and Tate is a borderline/low end #1.  Seattle fans and the media spout that BS as a means to build Wilson up.  A true shitty WR corps is what we've got right now, what we've had, what the Jets have had, what the Raiders have had, etc.

Why in the world would we trade for somebody they were about to cut? Were we worried we might. Ot be able land this premiere talent in free agency?

 

Because we're sitting near the bottom of the waiver wire.  

I'd be willing to bet this "trade" is something like a conditional 6th or 7th round pick (depending on Norwood's production).  Deals like this for players heading toward the waiver wire usually are.  Its usually a conditional pick just to jump you to the front of the line.  If it is conditional and the dude bombs out, we've lost nothing.

You guys are panting and gasping like Nippleshorts traded a 1st round pick and Luke Kuechly for him... lol.

Always amazes me just how little value some people put on actually catching the ball. It's a priority in Seattle, and it works.

If fans ran the team I'm sure we'd have the biggest, fastest receivers out there. They might never catch anything, but at least they'd be wide open when they dropped it.

How anyone could watch that game with Corey Brown the other night and still not understand the value of reliable hands is beyond me.

I feel like you're searching too hard for fault with a trade in which apparently we only give up something if he makes a contribution...

Like what I'm reading about him being strong at getting the ball at the high point and making good aggressive catches in traffic.

Also, getting a chuckle out of him being from 'Bama with Cam from Auburn.  Do we have other Tide players on the team?  There's gonna be some trash talk for sure...

And then there's the name:  Kevin.  Kelvin, Devin, Kevin.  Yikes!

Glad G'man did something and that this guy was a draft pick with some experience.  Let's see how he plays.  At least it's a guy we know our team scouted.  That provides some hope.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
