I don’t understand why anyone would be against this? We have a neee at back up TE. He is great physically,former 1st round pick, has put up decent numbers and is only 24. TE is a position that can take some time to develop and Ebron is still young. Look at Greg Olsen, a former first round pick as well who didn’t do well until he came to Carolina. We need to find a future replacement for Olsen and Ebron could be that guy. At worst he would be a solid back up.

If he is cheap then why not give he him a try?

 

If we can get him for $1-2 mil a year, sure, but otherwise... this guy is an uncoachable d-bag.

Run D will suffer, but it's far easier to find a run stuffing DT than a pass rushing DT.  Star was a nice player, but not worth what he was going to get on the open market.  My guess is that they use Vern Butler in Star's spot and Moton in Norwell's.

So they will use Vern to back up KK and rotate with Love?  That's mighty thin group you are going into battle with.  One injury away from disaster.

Better than Dickson in terms of being an offensive target Sans that one offensive explosion Dickson had.

Also a UNC product.

Can you explain why he's a better offensive target than Dickson other than the fact that he's older?  Their combines and measurables are basically identical.  Dickson also a much better blocker.  Their 2017 seasons weren't much different either, considering Ebron had a better passing QB and was the #1 TE option in Detroit.

More receiving yards in less years. I understand Dickson has been a 2 forever, but look at Olsen before Carolina.

Sure:

Ebron has more receptions and more yards than Ed Dickson has in half the seasons and almost 1/3 games played.

Ed Dickson - 124 Games Played - 178 Rec - 1,985 Yards - 12 TD (Avg Position Rank last 3 Seasons #42)
Eric Ebron - 56 Games Played - 186 Rec - 2,070 yards - 11 TD (Avg Position Rank last 3 Seasons #13)

Ebron has shown more usage and is more of an offensive target whereas Dickson is a great blocker.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
