Why would we sign Crabtree?  I want our current WRs on the field.  Getting experience.  Reps.

Well we still need another WR.  Moore/Samuel are good, but we have nobody outside of them.

We still have Torrey Smith under contract.  Is Crabtree better?  I don't know.  I'd still rather cut Smith at this point.

We still have Jarius Wright, and I don't see him being cut.  2.4 cap hit, 1.3 dead cap.  Not sure if saving 1 mil with a 1.3 dead cap hit is worth it there. 

If Crabtree comes dirt cheap.  Sure.  But I don't want to sign anyone that will take away from Moore/Samuel snaps.  That means a focus would be on a pretty cheap guy to fill in behind them.

Yeah but Wright can’t play outside.  Not very well, anyway.  We’d be screwed if Samuel or Moore got hurt. 

I agree we shouldn’t spend big money on him, but I think he’d come pretty cheap.

My main problem with Crabtree is the number 32.  That will be his age right after the 2019 season starts. 

If this were like some seasons past where we could make a case that only the WR position was holding us back, maybe.  But WR is not our primary need.  It isn't #2, either.

Right now we appear to be on a track to get younger, and that is a track that is needed.  Turn the number 32 into 27, and maybe I would feel differently.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
