I'm confused by your comma placement. Are you saying Williams isn't easily the best?

In my opinion, Mike Williams is the most complete/polished WR in this draft. He and Davis are the only two I would even consider in the first round, and Williams is top 10 worthy or just outside of it. Davis isn't far behind, but they are both better prospects than Christian McCaffrey, especially for the Panthers.

My bad, just saying he and Davis are really close.  I like Davis more (speed).  I've seen a lot of Williams but he is A LOT like what we already have as a bigger (slower) WR.

It's all good, man. I like Williams' ability to make catches without separating as well. To me that means his hands are better, but I agree, that is what Benji and Funch are supposed to do too.

Davis has all the tools, but I sometimes question his offense and what he was asked to do vs. things Williams HAD to do.

They'll both be starters for a long time. No arguments from me there!

I assume you're a John Ross fan?

No, actually I like Mike Williams, but I don't think we need another big wide receiver next to our 2 other giant receivers.

To be clear, any implied or reported interest the Panthers have in taking Christian McCaffrey, RB/WR/Gimmick athlete at #8, is disinformation or misinformation.

 

I want to draft McCaffrey so bad right now lol.

Is there any other reason?

Also is it weird that I don't see you as a person just a character? I really feel like I'm talking to Bronn

We have the same kind of meeting that we had w/ Christian scheduled with Leonard Fournette next week... so I'm sure we will see a headline next week that says: Panthers interested in Fournette at #8...

Yeah, nette will be a good back up plan in case McCaffrey is plucked earlier.

Not you particularly.  You were just the most recent and convenient to reply to.

The Melt Down would be glorious.

id love to get both McCaffrey and Samuels. the headaches you could create for defenses would be fun. could go from two back sets to shotgun without changing personnel.

I think the accumulation of hits and then the bum shoulder had a lot to do with the inaccuracy. He was having about a statistically average season in terms of accuracy up until the second Saints game where his accuracy fell off a cliff. In those final seven games, he was only north of 50% twice. In his first eight games, he was never south of 50%. Cam is never gonna complete 70% of his passes for a season like a Drew Brees. That's just not who he is as a QB.

Be honest if you watch his record breaking rookie year and this past year, how much has he improved?? Barely any. I understand he's not 70% dink and dunker, but he's still getting by on what made him Roy. Shula needs tar'd and feathered plenty, but ken dosey is not getting the job done. Whether he doesn't havethe sac to discipline or simply can not reach/teach cam, idk. I know cam gets the LeBron treatment here and the whole org is scared to upset king cam. Again not asking for cam to turn robot, but after several years it's past time to see a improvement in all things QB.

Given he's not going to be a "running" QB anymore, thats a giant change for all. I'm very considered.

I think he did improve in at least one area, that being play during the last 2-3 minutes of a game.  Starting with the Patriots game in 2013, i felt that we usually had a good chance to win if we had the ball in a close game with 2 minutes or less left.  I didn't feel that way in this first two years.  Didn't do to well in that area last year, but then we didn't do well in any area last year.

Watch his mechanics early in the season vs. after he's taken several unholy beatings. There's a vast difference. I don't care how big and tough you are, at some point you start hearing footsteps.

I didn't feel that way in the first two years because our D sucked. How many "game winning drives" did we have in those two seasons just to watch our D give it away in heart breaking fashion?
