Joe Person: Panthers interested in trading for Jets WR Denzel Mims

[poundaway]

For a 7th, fine. 

NOT FOR TMJ.  An injured rookie TMJ had as many yards and ZERO drops last year. 

Mims had a higher drop rate than Robbie last year.

Please no.

True.  Double lane highway though.  Lot of it paved with guys that simply weren't willing to put the work in at this level too. 

I'd rather have an injury concern than a heart/want concern.   Give me TMJ.  If Mims wouldn't even commit to learning the positions outside of his ideal spot he isn't what I would want the Panthers to go out trading for.

Straight up for Rashard Higgins?

Except that Mims has a higher Rec/GM and YDS/GM than TMJ.

Availability is an ability and so far we are approaching 3 years into him not being healthy.

I don't think either of them will pan out, TBH.

TMJ played in more games, so he actually had the higher availability.

Mims had 12 yards a game. TMJ had 10 yards a game. 

I'd rather have 10 yards and zero drops than 12 yards and a  higher drop rate than Robby.

TMJ was a rookie and injured.  What was Mim's excuse?

Why do we keep trying to get players from the Jets? Their team has sucked for decades, they can't draft, they can't coach and they rarely win. 

I mean, if you want to become the Jets, this is how you do it.

Why not, and this might sound radical here, try to get modest performers from the good teams instead of modest performers from the bad teams?

trade away the WR our new QB has the most chemistry with for some rookie that wouldn't commit to the game? 

I mean, Matt Rhule might do that.

I mean, there are worse things. I'm never gonna get upset over trying to acquire a talented wide-out.

In on every deal. Somebody (maybe a WR) would likely have to go is all.

I get that there are other more pressing needs, but opportunities at those positions have yet to present themselves. When and if they do, we'll consider them.

[LinvilleGorge]

Straight up swap for TMJ could potentially make sense for both teams. Don't trade future picks. Tepper should nix that poo if that's the plan.

why? no other reason but baylor.

You are looking at 2021, I am looking at Mims career stats.

Mims excuse was he was in the coaching staff doghouse, so he was available to play. TMJ was not and when he was he made little to no impact.

[Panthera onca]

Mims is going to be cut before Tuesday, there is absolutely no reason to give up any assets for him.

don't forget about TMJ's gait. can't forget the gait.
