Norwood and Funch need to be a quick study

No time to panic about the WR situation yet. I think with Norwood and Cotchery we have guys that are reliable. Add Funchess to the mix once he is ready. Ginn and Brown are the speed guys to keep a defense honest (at least the possibility of long completion).  There is no one avaiable that will be much help, and a trade will get us raped. Once they get Norwood and Funchess in the mix, we should be okay.

Stop saying nobody is available that could help, James Jones just scored two tds off the street. There are guys out there better than what we have. 

Can you please just shut the front door about James Jones already? I mean jesus christ. The dude was in Green Bay for YEARS working with the BEST QB IN THE NFL who is familiar with him and has an established relationship with.  It makes sense that he was able to come in and produce in an offense that he was FAMILIAR with that required a refresher. We traded for Norwood a few weeks ago and he's still trying to get up to speed with our offense. 

Also they have an offensive coordinator who isn't a fuging doorknob. So please AceBoogie, stop bitching like a 13 year old girl at a jewish sleep away camp.

I called in November of last year we would reunite with Ginn this year

 

Here's my new bold prediction: LaFell is going to get cut in New England during the season and we're going to bring him back.

I was pleased with Cotchery yesterday. He already matched his touchdown total from last year in our first game.

There's no reason that shouldn't continue either.  Cotch is a good red zone target.  He knows what he's doing out there, and defenses tend to forget about him in the red zone.

I never once said we should have signed James Jones. I'm simply pointing out that we are quick to dismiss a guy as "done" and that isn't always true. If we cut Philly Brown today, how many teams would sign him? What about Ginn? Nobody would sign Ginn and if they did it would be to return kicks. Our whole WR group is made up of a bunch of guys nobody else wants.

James Jones wouldn't have mad a difference here, he's still a possession receiver. 

He went back to a team, offense, and quarterback he had several years of familiarity with, let a lone a playbook he already knows. 

If you thought he'd come here and be a number one off the bat you're delusional. He was let go by Green Bay two years ago, and Oakland cut him after one, and he only returned to Green Bay post injury to Nelson which left them twin at the position. 

Guys need to be patient and let Norwood, and Funchess get acclimated. It's gonna be funny when by mid-season and these guys have a level of comfort what the James Jones wanters will say...

I'd rather see two young receivers get meaningful reps to prepare us down the road, Jones would be a band-aid. Funchess, Norwood, and Benjamin upon return could be a very formidable group, it makes more sense to get those two involved than hope a 31 year old possession receiver can save our receiving group.

Never thought I'd see the day where I'd welcome this with open arms.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
