I'm kind of surprised at the overjoyed reaction to this signing, but hey more power to you. I'm worried about finding a #1 WR, and the mother of all decisions coming up in the draft. 

You’re not finding a number 1 Wr in this draft especially with the 2nd round pick.. Maybe 1 develops but it won’t happen this year.. This is a weak class with most of the talented guy being slot guys and then they will be picked in the 1st round.. So let that dream go.. Or hope that TMJ takes advantage of his opportunity..

Meh….

This move doesn’t excite me, rather have Chark. Thielen is at best the the third option on a good receiving core.

This isn’t a good WR core right now and there isn’t a can’t miss number 1 available.. Some of you need to come to grips with that..

Dude is a 3rd WR at this point in his career. I still want them to double down on rookie WRs

Number 3 receivers don't put up stats like his. 

Y'all need to stop using fantasy thinking with real football

I was saying find a #1WR in free agency, and the mother of all draft decisions is the QB we take.

true, just the panthers had two wide open holes at WR. adam has played at a high level for 7 or so years. I see this as a positive all around, he should also spilt 70/30 with TMJ for snaps as well. 

Stroud is known for ball placement and adam is know for getting open at certain grassy spots. Plus hes not a ball dropper ala moore and anderson. Much welcomed to have with a rookie QB. 

Makes sense if Stroud is the pick. He’s a Stroud type WR.

He is not seeing year 3 and he's not seeing all $25 million.

Year 3 is most likely a year where we can dump him with limited cap hit. He is guaranteed 14 million, he will probably get ~16-18 million when all is said and done.

This is not a bad contract for a #2 WR at all. Especially when we gave Robb(y/ie) Anderson 12 Million per year to do jack poo but drop passes and throw fits the past two seasons.

This is perfectly fine and won't screw us in the long term.

At $12M per year, we were paying for dropped balls and a cancer in the locker room and sidelines.  Runs crisp routes, sure handed, a red zone magnet and a good locker room presence for younger players; what’s not to like?  

Some of you will complain when the sun comes up in the morning.

Theilen has more TDs (30) in the last 3 seasons than Robb(y/ie)/Chosen Anderson does in his entire career.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
