What does Fitt do at WR?

Fitt pretty much did as good of a job as he could given the limited cap space we had. Im still shocked he's making legit signings at this stage of FA. Im liking the way this roster is shaping up. Obviously the #1 need now is a legit WR. This team will be legit if he manages to get a #1 WR.

 

Do you think Fitt pulls off some magic and lands a #1 WR for his shiny new rookie QB?

I'm starting to think he's going to try and trade for someone like Hopkins, Sutton or Jeudy, it's really the only thing that would make sense at this point.

No matter how good of an OL and RB you give to a rookie QB, he needs to have a legitimate #1 WR to throw to or you risk hurting his early development.  While not clear #1's, I think guys like Juju or Jakobi would have been good enough to be a rookie's #1, especially with a WR in the 2nd round and TMJ as the #3.

To spend the money we've spent so far and not get a deal done with someone like that, have to think he's targeting someone in a trade.

Yep I been saying if we can get Hopkins or either Sutton or Jeudy we are back in business.

 

Hopkins we know is a #1.

 

Sutton/Jeudy both still have #1 WR potential. 

 

Going to be interesting to see what he pulls off.

Who you like in the draft?

I’d love Flowers but he’s going to be gone I think by 39. So probably Downs or Hyatt. If someone falls and we go another direction maybe Tank Dell in the 3rd. He could also be the return man of the future.

Get a solid #2 Wr then draft one at 39. Then go after a big name next year when all the dead cap money can be spent.

That can be the backup plan, but bringing in a #1 this year and drafting someone else with the 2nd makes way more sense, and here's why........

First is just that having a true #1 for a rookie QB is best for their development.  It will also then get #1 corners and double coverage off of TMJ, if he's really our best receiving option next year, teams are going to take that away from a rookie QB and make him throw to Laviska and a 2nd round rookie WR.  

If TMJ balls out this year, we're going to need to give him a solid contract next year before he goes into his last year of his deal.  If he doesn't have a good year and show he can be a legit starting WR, then we can sign someone in FA.

Either way, we're spending money on WR next year with that cap room regardless, but getting a #1 in here this year will also allow us to better evaluate TMJ, help the development of the QB, and make it so we don't have to spend on 2 WRs next offseason.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
