Panthers miss out on PR/KR

That's the reason I like Tony Pollard out of Memphis in the 5th or 6th round.  Actually he's one step better: RB/WR/KR.  A poor man's CMC or Curtis Samuel.  The Panthers get their return man and depth at RB and WR (although he projects more to RB).  That would save roster spot for another position, especially on game days.

Any particular reason newly signed Rashad Ross can't fill this hole?  Just looks at stats, he has a proven year of being successful as a KR, unless I am missing something?

Sure, he is a few years removed from his 4.4 40y time, and helping the Redskins to what..a top 5 kick off return unit (via return yardage average).  Just curious why this guy shouldn't be considered.

Returning punts and kickoffs are different. He doesn't return punts.

Can't be too hard of a skill to cross train in.  If you look at kick returners last year that returned at least 15 kicks, 2/3rd of them also had a punt. 

Quadree Henderson had 9 punts and 5 kick off returns total last year.  Not sure it could really be said he returns much of anything either.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
