Did you have someone else in mind attainable with 6th and 7th round picks as compensation?

No one in mind, just wondering why get a receiver with a 10% drop rate. I guess they think he's an upgrade over someone. He's a let-down though amid the Mims banter. Granted the compensation for Mims  would have presumably been higher.

He’s going to be used out of the back field and in the slot.

He’ll have a larger role once CMC goes down. He’ll help with our lack of production from the TE spot. 

Jacksonville was having him line up out wide sometimes and that’s not his strength. 

McAdoo knows Viska. I’d like to think McAdoo has a plan for him and that’s what’s going to make this a good trade

Mims is a completely different player. We have enough guys that line up out wide. How many of those do you want?

I assume he’ll be lined up in backfield nearly as much as the slot. Watch the video on him posted earlier and I think you’ll warm up to him (especially for a 6th/7th)

Something about him makes me think he is going to be a valuable future piece to the puzzle and be a solid benefit to the team. He just has that vibe to me. Kind of like the Stephen Davis pick up was years ago. I knew he could play but I wasn't thinking it would be super special and then BOOM we caught some lightning in a bottle. I feel like this guy could be it as well for some strange reason. Stats aren't bad at all for where he was. Compare him to our TMJ and there is no comparison at all. He has been available to play and has shown up a d gotten open to make the catches he has. I think he will be a good player for us as time goes on.

If the panthers go DJ, robbie, TMJ, shi, shenault, higgins. They'll have 5 WRs that don't play any snaps on special teams unless they carry 7 and keep zylstra?. I guess they could cut the fat somewhere else but still need to fill depth on the DL. Makes me think one of robbie or TMJ might actually get dealt.

It's cool. A 6th & 7th is really nothing in the grand scheme of things, even for a guy with an injury history that drops 1 out of 10 passes.

Has some nice YAC, but his drop rate ticked up last year.

The biggest complaint from Jacksonville fans is that he dropped a lot of catchable passes. I am sure film of him was looked at before the trade was made. We will find out if this was sour grapes from Jacksonville fans or not.

As many as we can get. Just being honest.

And especially for a guy who gains 600+ yards in each of his first two seasons in the league. 23 years old

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
