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.

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
