    I think, if folks thought he was brought in to be a #1 type WR, they may need to rethink their thinking.

 

    I think, if folks think he was brought in to help in that WR room, and be a nice compliment to the WR corp. as a whole. Then those folks could be in the right frame of mind.

 

    We now have a poo ton of speed at WR. If Norv can figure it out? Man is it gon be fun.

 

    I also think that if all that speed does find a way to be effective. We may be able to get by without a true #1 for the foreseeable future. I think I would like to get us one, but I also think it MAY not be a priority. Think positive. Yeah, that's the ticket.

 

    

    

 

    

Norv is our wild thing...he makes everything groovy...

I still want another FA receiver but as of now Smith should easily be our number 2, he’s flat out better than Ginn.

Im not that sold on Funchess like many are but Funchess Torrey Samuel/Byrd Olsen and CMac on the field just sounds so much better than what we just put up with.

id still like to get another, Byrd and Samuel don’t exactly get the 19 game vote of confidence right now.

Another tightend to field with Olsen would be killer too— That will look a lot more fun than watching Shula try to figure it out.

I think my biggest criticism of Torrey Smith is that he is Ted Ginn.  He isn't very good short to intermediate, but he can burn you deep.

While it's occasionally good, as TG showed us both times he was here, it's also super predictable.  Ginn (and likely Smith) is going to go deep.  I am really hoping we can find a receiver who can run the entire route tree to add an element of unpredictability to our offense.

Samuel has the speed, yes, but his route running is still fairly rudimentary and we don't have enough sample size to see how he does in contested catch scenarios.  Samuel is pretty decent at getting separation in press, not necessarily with good hand fighting, but using his short area quickness instead.  Byrd is similar, perhaps not as quick in small spaces, but probably a better route runner.

Trash move for a trash player from a trash gm. 

I believe it is possible he is cut in August. He seems like the guy the Panthers trade for an never see any production out of, or they get outworked in camp and end up a Cost/Benefit casualty.

When Ginn came to us, he had his best seasons as a pro. I am hoping for the same from Smith. If he can be as productive as Ginn, that would be pretty good value.

Ginn is quite literally the only player besides Cotch who I've seen come in and have an immediate impact via Free Agency, on offense, since Cam has been around.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
