I don't think I would judge any pass catcher on last years performance given that we had the worst qb/coaching combo in the league for part of the year, and even after Rhule was gone, we only had two games in which we threw the ball more than 25 times.  Prime Antonio Gates wouldn't have caught many balls for us last year.

Would he have caught more than 8?

I don't think I would qualify any of our tight ends from last year as very good receiving tight ends when they averaged .25 receptions a game

True but remember the TE was rarely used much in the passing game during the previous regime. More like an extra OL. Reich is already known for using the TE more prominently in the his offensive schemes.

Its ashame. I miss watching guys like Brad Hoover and Mike Alstot. Just big physical dudes bowling people over

Ouch. Hoover JAG and Alstott GOAT in the same sentence. 

I know you guys loved Hoover but damn, he is not even a RoH panthers player, much less in the same breath as Alstott.

Are Fullbacks a Dying Breed in Today's NFL? | News, Scores ...
 
Fullbacks are a dying breed. Many colleges, due to the proliferation of the spread offense, no longer use true fullbacks, so the feeder system to the NFL has evaporated. For some players, the position simply isn't glamorous enough. "Nobody ever grows up wanting to be a fullback,

I know right? Panther fans are notorious for over-hyping their own players. You can't trust fans to have a realistic evaluation of their own players. The interwebz with all its Fandoms and Homerisms is ruining the game for us real fans. Not to mention Madden and Fantasy Football. They're the worst. lol

Way to troll, sure hype your guys, but realistically. 

We have some great Panthers players in our history, Hoover is not one of them. It was fun to yell his name at the stadium but thats about it.

You using Realistically is kinda funny. lol

 

So what you are really saying is that anyone that doesn't agree with your take on Burns and Hoover are just Homers with no real ability to judge a players worth?

Where did I say that? If you think Hoover is an all time great FB thats cool, I will question your player evaluation, but its still cool.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, once you form that opinion people can agree or disagree, thats how it works. Thats why we have the pie, poo, etc. reactions...

Burns is in the other thread....

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
