Would you rather (Ginn/DJax edition)

[truthjuice]

Can we have both? You know DJax is gonna catch a ball but Ted still has some tread and as another poster said, Cam trust him. Both are on their way out of the league though lol.

Gettleman checklist for signing a 30 year old WR. 

1. Is he a team first guy or veteran that can teach our young WR's the ropes

2. Cheap

 

 

 

 

Why do people say these things? Do people not remember the Panthers were in Cap hell when Ginn was signed the first time and still weren't out of it the second time he came back? 

 

I mean at what point will people connect the dots and realize that there was literally no money to make moves for people better than Ginn? 

 

Is it really such a hard concept to make? 

>goes grocery shopping

>see's T-bones 

>wants T-bones

>Only has 100 bucks to spend on several items

>Thinks about eating T-bone for one night and starving the rest of the week

>shakes it off and buys enough food for the rest of the week instead of one night

>Gets called cheap by peers for now blowing the little cash he had on T-bone steak like the rest of them.

 

 

.....ooooookay.

I think they should keep Ginn and draft the fastest WR in this 2017 class , Idk who that is honestly , someone want to fill me in?

I think Ginn has great chemistry with Cam and I don't think you want to take that away despite the drops . Sign him for somewhat cheap and use the extra money to get the best veteran safety or OT 

[Davidson Deac II]

I agree the number for Ginn is probably a little high.  But which one i would prefer depends on what we might do with the money we save by signing Ginn instead of Jackson.  We could sign another pretty decent player for 4-6 million.

 

That being said, I don't see Jackson coming here regardless.  I think he goes back to Philly, assuming they have the CAP room.

I choose option 3 where we kick the tires on Byrd for a younger, faster, and cheaper option with a potentially tremendous upside on offense and special teams. Then spend the money on a position of greater need.

keep both , ginn knows if he goes to another team he will suck so his best bet of staying in the nfl is on the panthers . doubt djax comes here when philly wants him back .

The deciding factor as to why Byrd went undrafted was his tiny size. He had to put on weight and muscle to be taken halfway seriously. Now that he has, he can at least be in the conversation for a roster spot. 

I don't believe that Byrd is the answer anymore than I believe Ginn is the answer. Can they be an answer? Maybe. Byrd's speed doesn't fall off trees.

It's not like UDFA receivers have never made an impact (some significantly).

Neither is an overpriced, aged, and unreliable FA that has not played a single snap with our offense or ST.

DJax I don't think will get huge money this time. It is possible he plays here.

Exactly. Let's keep in mind too that the guy has probably packed on 10-15 lbs of lean mass. I know of at least one other 5'9" 185 lb guy with great speed and return ability that worked out pretty well for us. Won't know until we give him a shot.

People would rather see Cam struggle with another unproven unwanted player than give him a legit pro bowl caliber weapon.

[Ivan The Awesome]

Seems like he wants back in Philly. Doesn't look like we'll be in play for him. Sounds like he is going to ask for top dollar in the free agent market. 

 

This is where you either love money or the game more than money to compete for a championship. I wouldn't mind him here, I honestly think he would make a huge impact. I don't think he'd come here though, Gettleman will not over spend for a guy, Even now that there is money to spend. Rightly so, why break the bank on one position. 

[ncsfinest21]

Ginn knows the system. Id rather go with the proven player that has shown the ability to have good seasons and Cam is already comfortable with then have Jax who can be a diva if not getting the ball.
