He'd probably make the team if given a fair shot. But guys like Torrey and Hogan have the advantage. Not saying they're bad players, but they don't have Ross' upside. 

I like that opinion I believe he might but I guess it’s part of the mix needed vets and young guys. Upside is a good thing until his upside runs the wrong route causing a game changing int, then we want a savy vet who’s just gonna make the play and keep the chains moving might not pop it for 35. Do you think we have enough upside with DJ/Curtis/Ian or would you rather keep Ross over Torrey?

Best in the AAF. JAG in the NFL. Nope

Calling the best in the AAF a JAG in the NFL is being generous. Those who can play in the NFL will play/stay in the NFL (a couple rare exceptions noted). If they can't, you'll see them in the CFL or other much less talented leagues or just doing something else with their life. I didn't have much hope for him.

I think DJ and Samuel have plenty of upside. Football is a fickle sport though. Injuries aren't an if, but more a when/who. I'd rather have as many homerun threats on the field as possible.

Not sure about the upside part, at least for Hogan. He was one of, if not the top in creating separation last season.

I don't agree with this mindset. We have several very talented young wide receivers. It's good to have veteran wide receivers in the locker room. Especially ones who have been there and won. I don't know why so many people don't value that the way I do. I think veteran leadership is critical to winning teams. You can stash guys like Ross on the practice squad for later or sign someone similar if the need arises.

Only way he's making the team is as the PR, and he's not at the top there.

Certainly has a chance at the PS, either here or elsewhere.

I personally would rather keep one of the bigger receivers like Andre Levrone on the practice squad to develop though.

We have a glut of smaller receivers at this point.

This is also the key reason he wouldn't make the team.

Its not just about having WRs.  Its about having a variety of WRs for different situations.  You want your speedy small guys.  You want your jump ball, middle of the field guys.  You want your extreme hands guys.

While I like Ross, what he brings to the field right now, we are fairly decent in.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      Agreed.  Unless a DE is a Julius Peppers type, it takes a couple of years to really develope.  I am hoping we can get one to go with Prince and Scourton.  Or another Interior Dlineman might work as well.

      Great work Dan. This is the first time in a long time heading into day 1 of the draft that I don’t care which way we go.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I don't think it's about Bryce's ego. I think it's about Tepper's. Bryce was Tepper's draft pick. Everything that's been done has been to protect the image.  New HC with a shiny contract fired after he loses interest immediately after he supposedly drafted his guy. He can't make an offense for him because he's the QB that fits his style of offense. Bryce's rookie season is one of the worst in history. It was obvious he wasn't ready. He was named starter without any real camp competition. No real preseason reps. Coach keeps playing him despite terrible play.  A new coach and GM are hired on the condition that Bryce is the guy. No searching for a new QB. It's Bryce or else.  Bryce is benched year 2 for multiple games, replaced by Dalton who stunk it up proving he's washed up, then Bryce comes back in after Dalton injures his thumb and finishes the season. Dalton's contract is up, plenty of younger, higher upside FAs available. Dalton is brought back 2 years guaranteed as a "mentor". Jack Plummer, so bad in 24', brought back to camp in 25' and lo and behold, he's still terrible and has no business being on a field.  Other QBs brought in, the most recognizable being Hooker. All those brought in so bad even the PS can't hold them.  And now, after 3 years of bottom tier QB performance, with Dan saying we need to improve our QB room, we bring in a QB that's not passed for over 2500 yards in either of his 2 seasons as a starter, before he's benched and sent to the life of being a backup.  The common denominator in all of this is there's never been any real competition here, even when it was justified. After last year, it's debatable if he's starting QB material. Good moments and horrific moments. From one minute to the next, you don't know what you're gonna get.  So if you ask yourself why some of us feel bringing in KP is a joke, it's because it looks how it's always looked. That everything being done is to prove that David Tepper was right when he made the choice to draft Bryce and everything done since has been to protect that decision. Bringing in another QB with even the potential to challenge Bryce was always out of the question.
