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.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Amazing what the prospect of being traded to Carolina will do for contract negotiations.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
