Gaffney ?

2014 6th round pick, RB from Stanford.   Was injured.and we planned to stash him on IR for the year.  In doing so, we exposed him the waivers.  The Patriots pounced.  But he was injured AGAIN this past offseason, so is still on their IR, hasn't yet played a snap.

cotch is done. we'll roll with KB, funch, ginn, and philly brown. bersin is a 5th option, though he could get replaced if a receiver falls to us in the draft.

I'm still down with finding a return/speed WR to replace Ginn.

Ginn leaves a lot to be desired IMO.  Appreciate what he did but his horrific hands and duck out of bounds 4 yards early approach isn't something we should be content on not improving on...

i don't see it, but i wouldn't complain

Well we've never gave Cam a surplus of targets what better time to do so than after MVP season

The year after the 49ers lost the Super Bowl didn't Kaepernick end up having 5 targets that reached 1,000 yards in their career before but he did nothing with them cause hes Kaepernick. Time to spoil Cam like that

Cotchery dropped three passes all season.

true  how tragic they were all on Sunday.  Poor guy.  Poor us.  18 games without a single drop, and then 3 in the Super Bowl.  I really hate it for him.  He's a good guy and has filled an important, albeit not flashy, role for us.

We need to have speed and all hands team next year. Ball catching skills should be a high proirty in practice this offseason.

Also, it seems the race thing has made its way to the huddle. Glad everyone is turning against each other as is the status quo for Panther fans. 

My comments about Gettleman drafting a white guy each year were pretty tongue in cheek.  I wasn't trying to open a can of worms, but I did find it a bit interesting.  Regular readers here know I'm a stats geek.  I look for patterns.  I happened to notice one....

Huddle, please forgive me if I offended.  'twas not my intent.

I don't know that it would be a trend. Regardless, I don't think Gettlemen cares about color. If someone can help the team he will be retained.

Regardless, I don't think my comment was meant for you but i've read several posts that seem divisive instead of inclusive and that's more of what I was referring to than a rhetorical statement like you made.

    • A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.    
    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
    • Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
