Sounds like Jackson is pretty much going to be starting opposite Bradberry (with Cap as the nickel corner).

I'm a little concerned with the Olsen targets. Defenses will be keying in on Olsen. We have WR options this year and should be using them. I'm not seeing any posts about Cam to Samuel and I'm seeing DJ more with the backup

No need to worry....we have a really good OC now.

And people want to cut or trade Smith, our best deep threat WR and 2x SUPERBOWL CHAMPION

I just don’t get the Torrey Smith hate here, he’s a better deep threat then Ginn,... and younger,...

Birth of Seymour son might explain his performance. I know I wasn't to focused at that point. 

That may have been distracting. However, that performance was so bad that such a distraction is an unlikely culprit. It appeared to me that he was guessing and that he simply lacked the speed to make up for his consistent mistakes.....bad guesses. I hope I am wrong because such distractions fade while my diagnosis (guess) is a tad harder to overcome.

For my part, I've always supported the signing. The only thing that I've said that if it comes down to Funchess or Smith, then Smith has gotta go. I don't believe that it we're looking to trade him though, and I'm feeling a little better about Jackson and Munnerlyn being that Rivera feels a lot better about them. Not to mention that Washington is not only comfortable with Jackson as a week one starter, but Gaulden as well. We'll see in the coming weeks if their comfort level is justified. But at the moment it appears that our veteran receivers are very much safe.

Oh yeah, and @JARROD, I wouldn't necessarily say that Smith is a better deep threat than Ginn, especially as a Panther, but he does presumably have more years left to make the case.

He definitely has to prove himself as a Panther but with that being said,..

Torrey has 10 more receiving touchdowns with 4 FOUR.. again FOUR less seasons(39 to 29 and has 16.4 yards per catch versus 14.0.)

Just by the yards per catch hes technically a better deep threat, ha.

And it should be noted that 10 of Ginns career touchdowns came in one season as Cams MVP season was rocking,...

30 of Torrey's 39 were in his first 4 seasons with Baltimore, as were most of his stats.  Since walking to garbage San Francisco at the time, and then not having a resurgence until the playoffs for Phili-- thanks to Nick Foles, a bigger down field thrower than Wentz.

Now hes in Carolina with a big downfield arm.

What happens next is any ones guess-- but I am calling 800 yards + or - 50 and 8 touchdowns + or - 1.

Yeah it was a absolutely terrible showing no matter how you spin it.

Haynes played in all 4 quarters against Buffalo and now he's getting 1st string reps.  Is that a bad sign on how the staff feels about Hall?

To be fair...most huddlers bitched about Ginn too.

I choose to look at as the staff being more impressed with Haynes than let down by Hall. For all intents and purposes, they're both rookies and Haynes' speed makes him flashier.

Seymour is a practice squad player. It showed. The fact he's considered for starting really falls on Hurney. Get someone in here that is at least six foot tall.
