Should we go after Dez?

Look..... I'm not advocating a big deal, and I don't really want him long term anyways, but........

 

hes looking for a 1 year prove it deal anyways, don't think money is his goal here.  He'd give us a veteran presence with our WRs (then cut Torrey) and I think he'd personally get along with Cam well and we have a strong group of leaders to keep him in check.

 

oh..... and we open the season agains Dallas.... I think that would be a big motivating factor for him, like with AP last year going to NO who opened the season against the Vikings.

 

Have him for the year while our WRs gain some more experience and then let him go on his way, think he'd be much better in that role for us than Torrey

I can actually say that the Panthers are set at WR. They just need to groom the talent that they have. Getting Dez limits the opportunities for Moore and Funchess. 

Does it?

 

lots of teams have had 3 successful WRs, and it's not like any of them are proven talents yet.

 

i had no interest in him at first, but the longer he goes unsigned I think the possibility is there as I think we'd be a great situation for him to prove himself and get a bigger deal from someone else next year.

That can also backfire because since he is on a one year prove it deal, he will want targets so he can get the big contract in the off-season. Cam plays his best when he can just spread the ball and not worry who gets targets.

So sign Dez Bryant, a slow receiver with a bad attitude and depeciating skills, and an odd fit for our scheme, for what will likely be a 7-10 million dollar salary, then cut Torrey Smith, a receiver with speed, is a good locker room guy, and fits our system and we have for relatively cheap at 5 million? Hmm....

Here’s the thing tho...we have the option of using the remaining cap on a Safety or a complimentary RB...or a WR in ur eyes...I think off need alone, WR just isn’t a priority.

Plus with Samuel getting hurt last year, we need room to develop both him AND DJ. We already have Funchess and Smith. Let’s say we cut Smith, well there goes our deep threat cuz we know Dez isn’t one. If he was, than I think you could make a much better argument. Adding Dez creates a even bigger log jam.

You also are assuming he’d sign a cheap one year prove it deal. I’m assuming he would not. If it’s a one year deal, I’m assuming at least $7mill which we just can’t  afford to allocate to the WR spot.

Here's the view on him from Walterfootball.com-

"Bryant is a declining player approaching 30 (in November) who struggles to separate. He has not adjusted his game to compensate for this, and he'll need to if he wants to keep playing beyond two more seasons. He's no longer a No. 1 receiver, but perhaps Dallas cutting him will serve as motivation."

Do we need a guy who can no longer excel at what he's good at, and won't adjust. Don't think so.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Icege · Posted

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
