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.

Armanti Edwards has damn near had back to back 1000 yd seasons in the CFL lol

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.

    • I did not want to start or even think about *if* BY reverts back to pre-non last 9 games.   There is a lane in which Panthers are looking QB after this season, I feel its higher than most will realize. I mean....not kidding... has any team ever traded up to 1st overall twice in the teams history? I don't even want to think within 3 years, just foresee Tepper squeezing Dans and Brandts sacs to the point were they are forced to trade up for a another savior.....   The kicker is I feel this way with BY playing good-great..... I think there with be non-fixable problems for contract negotiations between BY&reps vs Panthers org on the whole. You can not pay 50+ million per over few years with 70% guarantees for 3,303 yards 15 TDs and 9 INTs......Cursed I tell you....
    • It's not surprising, but it's still surprising that many of these guys don't manage their money in such a way that provides them and their families a better lifestyle than most for the rest of their lives without even working a nine-to-five. I can't imagine making over a 100 mil for a decade and ultimately ruminating about supporting my family due to financial issues.
    • That why i mentioned the KC dynasty. Those three different playoff loses were not Allens fault, in fact 1-2 plays and Bills win. KC just have better players and better coaches and more luck.  Defense-wise, Bills have been trying to crack the Reid-Halhomes magic. Its near impossible with rules and KC home field advantage. Spags has started to force the league in naming him the best DC in NFL history. I agree if you take away Bill bielacheat.... Add in Andy Reid the best QB coach and brilliant play designer/play-caller, I mean that's too much for one QB to over-come on his own.  Just trolling or not, bad is bad scot. Allen is legit as any one QB has ever been.
