Now that Robbie is gone, who is (or who should be) our #2 receiver?

TMJ should be, if nothing else for eval purposes, though on paper he is also the most talented and is suited to playing on the outside.

There is a case for Laviska, but I think he's a bit slow and not as sure-handed.

Shi drops too many passes.

There is a reason why Higgins has always been a 4/5. He's not breaking any starters down on a regular basis.

Not sure it even matters in the McAdoo offense where it treats Ian Thomas like a legitimate receiving threat. I honestly don't even want to look at the receiving stats for our team right now.

I'll give you the summary from what I've witnessed so far. CMC leads the team followed by our slow ass TE. And that's one of the problems.

We are attempting to use Ian Thomas like a premier receiving weapon. In hindsight, this should have been how we used Dan Arnold. BUT iirc we traded him and draft capital for a off man corner. Thats another story though.

As 4 WR#2... 

If your trying to "replace" Robbie, your actually trying to replace speed. Obvious answer for me would be TMJ w/ his skillset. Keep Shi in the slot. Hell, make Shi the #1 and put DJ in the slot. He might actually get targeted then. 

Never thought I'd miss Joe Brady though...this week will probably cement the next guy fired...the OC

    • I suppose it depends on what you mean as 'elite'. I typically mean someone that can play with lower level pieces around them and still win. There are very few of those. 
    • It would obviously be incredible if Brooks came back and just ran away with the job on his opportunities like Rico Dowdle did last year. But any Panthers fan that has been around the block knows better than to go ahead and make plans for that. Brooks has missed a ton of not just playing time but meaningful early career growth in a league that has increasingly devalued the position from an investment standpoint beyond one or two superstars. There's really not any comparison to look back on that lines up with the current iteration of the league at least not favorably. The key thing that this RB room has going for them is our investment in the OL. The highest paid OL in the league two years in a row paired with our staff should make it easier for just about any RB to get into open running lanes. But that is also anything but a given considering our OL was largely middle of the pack last year. In the end it might all be a moot point anyways if we again struggle to establish a viable passing attack.
    • I don't have him making the team and I think same goes for the staff, but they are hopeful for a PS spot.    I mean of course I'd like 3 all-world at RB and every spot, just doesn't work that why. Panthers normally carry 3. dan always talk up Etienne, even called him a future star.....I think Brooks will be fine as a 2 with health pls.....  Chubba can carry a seasons load as lead dawg.    Its fine, I mean backup OGs or CB is much higher on my worry scale(Id even put QB room as worse than RB room too...)
