Panthers sign WR Russell Shepard

I don't mind this at all. I just hope this doesn't make us complacent at the spot. 2 years in, only 26..showed improvement last year. Honestly, This type of signing is a solid backend roster full. Not creating any false expectations about the kid. Hell, maybe he's BFs w/ Fournette or Adams and this is leverage haha

Not sure how that impacts the 2017 team one bit.. But OK..

 

Dear 2016 Super Bowl Team,

 

The 2017 Panthers receiving corps is still a massive weakness, despite signing Russell Shepard.

 

Best regards,

Guys are reading too much into the position he plays instead of the skillset he brings. 

Speed, ST abilities, decent route runner.

Nothing wrong with a depth signing for ST, an area of weakness over the past decade for our franchise. Might even beat out the huddles beloved Bersin come training camp.

Kendall Wright is not going to be the answer.  He's a name player but he couldn't get on the field for the Titans last year.  That is a very bad sign.  He's talented but he has never put it all together. Not sure I want to add that to our WR room.
We are going to be forced to draft a receiver early.  There should be some good ones available in rounds 2/3 (Taywan Taylor, Godwin, Henderson).


Thank You . Just because you recognize the name doesn't mean it's a good idea.

I haven't  read through everyone's posts, but could this be similar to what the Pats found in Chris Hogan?

Someone else giving up on a guy, and said guy being a better fit in a different system?

At worst, he's a special teams captain that we stole from a division rival.

At best he's our new slot receiver

It's not a bad signing unless we gave him a ton of money a la Kalil.

    • I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.
    • Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy. 
    • I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
