I'd take Maclin. I think he's the more talented receiver. His stats are a little better too, despite missing 25% of last season with the groin injury.

Decker only appeared in 3 games last season and only received 8 targets as a rookie.

Plus, Decker has spent all but two seasons of his career with the likes of The Golden Calf of Bristol, Geno Smith, and Ryan Fitzpatrick throwing him the ball. Maclin has benefited from being in offenses that like to spread the defense out and throw the ball. If you compare Dejcer and Maclin in terms of the percentage of receiving yardage and TDs they accounted for in their offenses it wouldn't surprise me if Decker isn't significantly ahead.

Saw this debate on NFL.com and was curious what you guys think.

 

If you could add either gentleman to our roster, $$$ aside, which would it be and why?

Assuming both are healthy, I'd take Decker.

There is no need for either one, we need a 2nd TE more so than another oversized WR.

Hasn't Maclin been a return man before as well?

He's a very underwhelming punt teturner in the NFL. 100 career returns with a 6.7 yard average, no TDs, and most alarmingly a long of 27 yards.

Either way, I think we're going to see our 1st and 2nd round picks getting the bulk of the return duties.

Just stop it already with the #2 TE stuff. We're don't running two TEs as our base offense.

I don't agree , based on Rivera's comment about usage of J-Stew and the running game we will see a lot of 2 TEs but he will be moved around the line and backfield playing FB role.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
