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

      I see both sides of the arguments, but compared to last year we're somehow at an upgrade over completely fried Dalton and wasn't even good in college Plummer. At least Pickett and Grier probably have some desire to make more money when Dalton was happy to just go through the motions and I will never understand why they even bothered with Plummer.

      After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem

      You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….
