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.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.

      Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.
