I didn't see this posted anywhere....and maybe for good reason.

http://www.espn.com/blog/carolina-panthers/post/_/id/29487/panthers-using-formula-that-helped-eagles-win-the-super-bowl-with-receiver-overhaul

"So, general manager Marty Hurney began the overhaul with a formula eerily familiar to Philadelphia's."

This guy. Says by gettin rid of Benjamin and bringing in an older version of Smith and Jarius Wright, we are doing exactly what Philly did when they brought in a younger version of Smith and gave Alshon a $50 million contract.

I don't know about you guys, I didn't get the OMG-WE-SIGNED-ALSHON! vibe from these signings. It feels a little bit closer to when we signed Domenik Hixon.

lol, no...

We are using the same formula that we used in 2015.  Don't overpay for #1s when you can get a bunch of dudes who do one or two things well and use them creatively to maximize their strengths.

Cleaned that up a little.  :)

Yeah, I think the PHI plug is for headlines over anything related to what they're actually doing.

When you compare:

Ginn/Funch/Cotchery/Brown 

to 

Funch / Smith / Wright / Samuel & Byrd

I think you begin to see the team getting back to what worked best for Cam, the notion he needs all these big bodies due to ''inaccuracy'' was over-exaggerated, Cam's best with receivers that create space vertically, and horizontally, he's a ''sight'' thrower and that's not to say he lacks anticipation; however he's been at his best when his receivers have the threat of speed and can separate.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      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.
