Who will be our first wide receiver to have a 100 yards in a game this season?

With the way Cam is spreading the ball around it wouldn't surprise me if none of them had a 100 yard game all season.  But if I had to pick I'd say Ted Ginn is the most likely.   Like others have said if he didn't drop 2 out of 3 deep balls thrown to him he'd already have a few 100 yard games and we'd have one some games more convincingly.

Ginn or Brown would be the most likely, and I think it would take one or two long completions, either from bombs or yards after catch. Aside from Olsen, nobody can get open consistently so he really is spreading it around, which is not a bad thing, since it provides a lot of experience in reading the field. I think doing without KB this season really is making him a better QB.

Cam eventually grows frustrated. Runs all of his receivers to the right, lobs the ball to the left, runs under it and catches it for a TD in each of the remaining games.

Can't do that unless it's tipped by a defender I'm pretty sure.

I really haven't seen an inability to get open from our receivers. Its been them dropping the ball or Cam missing the throw. We would have had 2 more TDs in the GB game if Cam had hit wide open guys running behind the D.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
