How we went from a talentless WR Corp (minus SS) to over abundance of talent in 2+ yrs is absolutely amazing.

 Obviously it is far too soon to tell but I wouldn't say there are locks outside of KB and Funchess.  I think Ginn is a near lock but not 100%. Ginn is on the 2nd year of a two year deal.  Byrd, Brown  and HIll are speedsters and I wouldn't put it past Gman to make a decision to keep someone other than Ginn.

Don't get me wrong I think Ginn was a key part of our offense but he isn't irreplaceable.. It is very possible that those preseason drops might make a difference this year..

 

He's also got that whole punt return thing going for him. That helps his chances.

If Hill can pull it together, we're going to have to make some tough decisions.   I would be on board with keeping 6, Benji, Funchess, Hill, Byrd and Ginn and hopefully Garrett can be retained on the practice squad.  I just don't think Philly is that good or brings much to the table, and neither does Bersin.  The Broncos showed the game plan to beat us, and what we need is more speed/players that can't be single covered.

Didn't Philly have a huge long pass play against the Broncos? The one where Talib literally had to try to rip his head off to stop him from scoring.

Brown might not be much of a return man but he is just as dangerous as Ginn.  I think he has better hands and runs better routes.   Furthermore, Brown is much younger.

Not a Ginn hater but I said last year I thought we didn't need Ginn back with Brown.  Fortunately for us we didn't have to choose because KB went down.  Look at it this way.  Ginn has peaked, Brown is only going to get better. 

Love the idea that we don't have 5 locks and 8 wannabes.  We have some serious competition and over the next couple of months the cream is going to rise to the top.   I will be happy with whoever they choose because honestly I don't think we lose with any combination.

Who would have thought by 2016 teams would be watching our roster to see who we are going to cut at the WR spot.

he was serving talib an ass whupping before he got injured.  among other much-bitched-about factors that was one of the differences in the game i think.

This is a good fix for my FB addiction as time slowly crawls toward training camp. Love the pics.

Hi, my name is Imminent Rogaine and I am a footballaholic; I watched a replay of week ten redzone on NFLN this weekend and have successfully completed 3 fantasy football mockdrafts as of may 25th.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
