ive been seeing alot of trade talk ideas from us fans in the last couple weeks . people wanting smitty back anquan old man boldin . while i dont think its likely we make a trade for a receiver it can help us make a superbowl run no doubt. the really only one i would be willing to trade for is cordarrelle patterson , i remember alot of people wanting this guy including myself  when he came out . he is from rockhill sc  and hes basically a bigger version of ginn thats drowned in a deep wr depth chart which got even bigger with that beast stephon diggs now coming along. i doubt he would be cheap maybe a 4th rounder at most for someone whose upside is sky high , he helps in the present and in the future for when we get  the monster back aka kb . once again doubt it happens but it does happen he should be our guy not no old washed up anquan boldone

How long will it take for a new wr to learn the playbook is the question.  Norwell is still riding the pine cause of it right?  Idk. More weapons the better, just wouldnt want it to be a waste of time, draft pick or roster spot.

Prett sure you're referring to Norwood, as Norwell the ManBeast mauls opponents on the regular.

Patterson still has trouble with the Vikings playbook. He's as dumb as a brick.

It blows my mind how many people don't see how useless the guy is.  It would take 3 years, of him being on our PS, for people to realize he sucks.  But that's not too surprising I guess... some people are still on board with the Stephen Hill project.

go look at pattersons numbers his rookie year and then go look at Hills entire career.

not even fair to compare the two. Patterson had star written all over him after his very productive rookie year. He probably won't turn into a star but you can't help but notice how good he was his rookie year and how good he is with the ball in his hands.

This is the beauty of our offense, we currently do not need a superstar WR for it to work.  We run the ball almost 50% of the time, and oh by the way have the #1 rushing offense in the league.  We are #6 in points per game at 27.0, and have moved the ball against any defense so far at will.  We have role players, and we just take what the defense gives us.  We're 6-0, let's not fix what ain't broke.

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
