Do we need another receiver that will keep our younger guys on the bench and inhibit their development? Mingo and TMJ are our future, we have to get them game time and make sure they both develop especially TMJ. This year is crucial for him. Probably an unpopular opinion but I would let Hopkins go somewhere else at this point in an attempt to se what we have with young guys and who can develop with playing time on the field.

I don't see the team being interested to begin with

It's good you know what an overpay is. Not sure why you needed to tell me what is was though...

Because you don’t seem to understand the meaning of overpay. By your own statement you want to pay a player more than he is worth to the team.

Are you asking if we can use a #1 WR?

 

What kind of question is that. Hopkins is not a cancer. Hell yes we need that kind of WR.

 

Ask Cam Newton who was his WR his best passing season. That vet Smitty was the best thing Cam ever had and that was his rookie year.

 

 

But having the addition of him also is going to slow down Mingo and TMJ's development. Yes he helps but counting on the younger players to develop much slower as he will be taking away learning time from them. Hopkins is good but he is definitely no Smitty

It doesn't slow down Mingo if anything it helps him especially since Hopkins would be receiving the double coverage.

 

Ask Thielen what is was like playing with a true #1 WR. It makes the #2 WR job so much easier.

 

I can't believe that people think Hopkins hurts the team.lol

Hopkins and Mingo both X.  They won’t be on the field the same time most plays.

Honestly, if we could sign Hopkins and then trade Chark, that would be the ideal scenario to me, as Chark is really the reason there isn't a clear open spot for Hopkins right now.

Thielen is the slot and TMJ/Mingo should be on the field at one outside spot and then when we go 4 wide, we have to see them get significant playing time unless they're just terrible.

Signing Hopkins would stunt one or both of their growth potential unless Chark gets relegated to minimal snaps.

^^^^ More like 20 million in cap space as Bryce hasn't signed yet, he'll count $7.5 million against the cap in year 1

Either way, I fully expect him to end up on a 1 year deal with a contender like KC or Buffalo.  Chase a ring, try to put together a full season of staying healthy and then get a better multi-year deal going into next year when he can go into the start of FA.

I always cringe when a Panther fan calls into the show. Yet to hear an intelligent take from any of them.

Me too.  

You'll be happy to know that one Panther fan called in the other day (and, just like you, I cringed waiting for the usual) but this guy represented us well.  He had intelligent comments, intelligent questions and sounded like he had all his teeth.

So, ONE!

I wonder if we have enough to pay him? He definitely will not come cheap unless he cuts us a home town discount

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
