Sounds like some of y’all not only expect DJ to be the top paid WR in the league but actually sound like ur hoping for that. Absolutely mind boggling. True definition of “homer”. I appreciate all you guys who know how to be unbiased on this board.

Yes we hope our players are good, what's the issue

Clearly u know no Panthers fan in their right mind would root against DJ from being good. The issue is paying him to be the highest paid WR in the league.

Find me anybody outside of some panthers fans that wouldn’t laugh at that suggestion.

Who cares what they think about our 24yo WR1? They probably hope their team signs him if he hits free agency

Do you have eyes? DJ is the best WR in the league for the next five years.

DJ is the best WR in the league given his skill, stats, age. Period.

Absolutely not. DJ is a top 15 wide receiver, def not top 5. He will rip off a 40 yard catch but then go quite for long stretches. If you can give me one example of him taking a game over like a Hop or Julio I will reconsider. His contract should reflect what he is, 8-10 best wr in the league, anymore than that and you’re paying based on the hope that he takes a big leap. 
 

now with all of that being said, it’s still really hard to find a guy that’s as good as he is- we’ve been looking since 89, so is the teams ok with overpaying for an above average wr- no clue. He good, he ain’t great.

D.J.s game isn't comparable to Hops where he is a goddamn mauler with elite WR and he is not the physical specimen with the best body control the NFL has seen at the position.

But that does not mean D.J. is fringe top 5.

D.J.' s biggest areas of weakness are our last two QBs area of strength -- beating the press and finding separation on shorter routes.

In intermediate to deep areas of the field D.J. has CONSTANTLY won and gotten open just no one to deliver him the ball.

D.J. and it's not close. 

I'll take one fringe elite WR who won't be 25 when resigned than two solid WRs pushing 30.

Under the proposed question--the poll, which is based upon fantasy at this point, that's a decent answer, but those aren't real options. Another realistic option is draft a receiver that's superior to D.J. and/or acquire one in free agency. For me, the answer will be more clear after the 2021 season.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      By frankw · Posted

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
