Boldin's first couple of years were fine, but they weren't OBJ-esque. Let's keep some perspective here.

I mean, that is what I was doing when someone referenced Mingo to a dude that was OROY and made the Pro Bowl his rookie season. 

I mean, his production when on the field was actually pretty dang similar to OBJ early in his career. 

He opened with a 1300+ rookie season.  And that was back when you could still maul WRs a little. Got hurt his 2nd year.  3rd year he had 1400+.  4th year he had 1200+.  Boldin was a monster.  And Boldin will have a shot at the HOF...unlike OBJ.

Yeah, but... injuries are a motherfuger.

I'm not gonna jinx it, but at least in that respect, I suspect our guy to eclipse them both (not that Boldin was horrible).

I simply stated who some scouts had as his NFL comparison. I honestly didn’t follow Mingo in college.

and Boldin still put up a career very similar to 89.  Many would argue his edges Steve's.  Boldin edges 89 in most categories on less games....and then adds the ring.

I know, I guess my point is comparisons only mean something before they step on the field.  We have seen Mingo in the NFL.  And he looks nothing like a young Boldin.

Agreed. Boldin would be more of a ceiling as in something we hope he can become.

I thought Mingo had a lot to like but the quick eye test for me showed he wasn’t really an extender/hands catcher/aggressive for the ball type but he was an absolute bull when he had the ball. He has good hands but isn’t a finesse guy. And we needed a guy with real quickness.

Im still hopeful bc maybe he can become a Metcalf lite but a problem is it’s another class with a bunch of effective WRs out of the gate and we couldn’t spot the one for us. 

Take Addison, S-N, and Flowers out of the equation, we still had Mims (LOVE), Rice, Downs, Dell, Scott, etc. 

Just really surprised we went the way we did. Could’ve traded back or taken Tuli or Brents at 39 then snagged Down or Dell later on. Kinda peeves me

I was just certain that Fitt would take the Jordan route and draft Downs since he A) went to Carolina and B) met a need and C) was around maybe longer than the he should have been. On the flip side, Mingo had a 3rd round grade IIRC.

Is that old saying really true anymore?  at least in terms of the really good ones. 

sure feels like most WRs that turn out to be good in recent history....show it pretty early.  Sure feels like it is skewing more 1-2 seasons now. 

I think our memory tells us there were a lot more really good receivers than there actually were. 

Great receivers tend to have long careers. There have been hundreds that washed out in three years for every one that made it to 10 years. 

But those great catches and dominant seasons linger in our minds forever.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CPF4LIFE · Posted

      So what is more important? what he did on the Saints the year before last or how he compares to a ROOKIE who clearly had problems adjusting to the LEAGUE last year on another team and it effecting win/losses? smh And you say im all over the place.  Also, i clearly gave explanations for how the seattle game played out. Its rare a qb has to throw the ball 63 times so to think it would have been a theme for the season is ludicrous... the even bigger point is that its not necessarily his fault if he has to do it in the first place like he was calling the plays but for some strange reason you continue to hold that against Dalton as if its all on him and not the guys around him racking up penalties. If he is old terrible as you say it shouldnt matter how bad the defense was he played, he shouldnt have been able to throw for over 300 yds on them with no turnovers. But this is the narratives people pushed all season, why didnt bryce turn around and destroy and even worse defense against a winless vikings the next week? Do i need to layout how dumb this logic is even more?

      I love to bash them for this move but its smart..  They have a team that can win the NFCS this year, but yet they are picking in the top 10 now.  Cousins contract is really only a 2 year deal. So Penix can sit and learn with no pressure for 2 years and in year 3 when Cousins guaranteed money is over they can plug in Penix.  If they were not in a position to win the South this year then I think this would have been bad trade, but its smart and they can afford it.

      Already noticing differences At least this year, we did not see photos of Xavier hugging Mrs. Tepper (even if others were hugged, it simply suggests owner involvement on a premature level, imo)--there were no cute news conferences wherein the head coach jokes about drafting a RB because he had a good game against Baylor and his wife told him to; There are not recordings of the head coach calling a long snapper and trying to convince him that he is being drafted and not pranked.    In other words, I get the feeling that the GM was actually able to do his job this year--we shall see.
