Not necessarily a need. He’d take snaps away from Mingo/TMJ. Let alone what I think is in store for laviska. I think we honestly have the “best” 5 wr room in the nfl. It’s very not top heavy but if Chark is profiling as our 4 and Laviska as 5, not many teams have that much deep quality. The only thing I’d “ask” for would be a pure small speed guy, which seems to be Byrds destiny. (Sorry Shi).

Mingo been getting way too much hype lately. Dude must be the real deal if word is already spreading that the Panthers like him.

 

We might have just drafted the next AJ Brown!

I hope Young and Mingo become our future offense cornerstones!

Quick FYI: Hopkins is actually in SC this weekend.

How do I know?

Lady Cowboy Fan and I went to dinner with a family member of hers in Clemson today. On the way back, we stopped at a grocery store where our cashier told us she had run into him at a gas station earlier in the day.

He explained he was in town to attend the graduation ceremony at his high school. She'd had the chance to get a picture taken with him and showed it to Lady Cowboy Fan. I pulled up a pic online for comparison and yes, it was legit.

So...what does that mean?

It means he's in town to attend the graduation ceremony at his old high school and a local grocery store clerk got a chance to take a picture with him.

Could the Panthers sign him? Sure they could, but I don't think that'll happen.

I think we are mostly set at WR.  I’d rather spend money on something else.  There are still a ton of talent in FA.

What planet are you living on?

Last year after his suspension he killed it until Kyler got hurt, his per game averages would have come out to 120 catches for 1,350 yards in a 17 game season.

2021 wasn't great, but still, when he's been on the field, he's still an elite level WR.  No, maybe he's not a Top 3 WR in the league anymore, but he's absolutely Top 20 at worst and still probably pushing Top 10 if he's fully healthy.

He still has some of, if not THE, best hands in the NFL, he catches almost anything in his radius

How many games was he suspended for and was unavailable again?

How bad did he throw his teammates under the bus in an effort to get out of Houston?

How bad did he throw his teammates under the bus in an effort to get out of Arizona?

He doesn't do well with struggling teams and both picked him up and then let him go for pennies on the dollar because no one would take him for the market value the general public thinks he's worth. 

There are more problems with Hopkins on your team than we even know. Let's not bring him in when we have a young QB and a team being rebuilt. Not only could he be cancerous to the team, the price tag is going to be way up there. That's a Dallas Cowboys move.

I'm interested in seeing if Young and Mingo can develop into at least a lite version of Burrow/Chase (or Montana/Rice for us older folks). That's less likely to happen with Hopkins in the mix. 

Additionally, the timing just isn't right. Hopkins is expensive and looking for a contender. The Panthers window hasn't opened yet and may not for a couple of years. It wouldn't help if Hopkins was leaving about the time the Panthers were turning into legit contenders. He's a nice thought, but not now.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      By bigginpc · Posted

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      Round 5: The Carolina Panthers select C Sam Hecht (Kansas State)

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
