Nice article.

The list of receivers that have excelled under Turner is impressive. 

Quote

The Vikings found Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs with Turner on the staff in Minnesota. 

This statement gives me hope that Turner knows how to find gems and players that fit his offense.  For whatever reason we seemed to be cursed when it comes to drafting WRs.   KB and Funchess aren't bad but they aren't great either.  Hurney sucks at it.  I won't throw too many names because some of you might have seizures but Colbert and Jarrett are a couple.

Note to Hurney:  Let Turner pick the receivers.

don't turn your back on funchess.. I think he will have a huge season under turner along with samuel. They are identical to theilen and diggs.

Funchess isn't KB slow.  He may not be the fastest receiver we have but with the right partner on the other side Funchess can be very effective.  Add in CMC out of the backfield and Samuel in the Slot.  

To me, Turner has weapons already on this Roster and only needs to add one or two and it's light out.

Not only does Jarrett come to mind, but so does the fact that we immediately cut Keyshawn (against his will) because we didn't need him anymore with Jarrett.

I think I just threw up in my mouth..... Thanks for reminding me....lol.

What a stupid move.  About the only thing Jarrett and Keyshawn had in common was they came from USC.

It's really good to have some perspective around here because we have a bunch of rapid fire topic starters who truly have no clue what the NFL is all about.

LOL so Funchess is supposed to be Theilen? 

And I wouldnt say Samuel is anyone until he can actually prove he can stay on the damn field for a season

If they draft a rb like Chubb the will they relegate cmc to strictly a 3rd down back with 5 or 6 touches a game? Cmc says he wants to be an every down back I can’t see it if they get a number one back

I dont think so...you move him around...that was the whole point  of drafting him...

It won't really who the OC is if we don't get more weapons on offense. This is less about Cam Newton and more about better play calling period. It is completely unacceptable to go as many games as we did and have to burn a timeout to get the play in. Olsen, Funch, and McCaffery have a role in this offense but we need more period.

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
