How is Hollywood now a proven talent?  He has had a solid year with some bad QB play.  We need speed and YAC.  Brown fits that role.  Brown and AT compliment each other and Tez brings speed/size/hands which is something we also need.  Brown, AT, Tez, and Mingo is a nice core if we get a coach that uses them correctly.  

Higgins is a great big bodied WR, but he isn't a speedster that will stretch the field.  While Higgins is better, Brown is a better fit and should be cheaper.

Brown isn’t a number 1 has never “consistently” performed as a number 1.. Has a injury history and only has 1 skill set..

The number don’t lie..

And the rookie thing is good when you have a established QB.. When you don’t you need to bring in a top tier vet to figure out what you have and help build confidence in your rookie.. With how bad this season has gone.. BY will need multiple dependable vet weapons to build him back up..

And the major benefit of having a rookie QB on a rookie contract is you can spend more to  surround him with proven talent.. Trying to develop another Wr when you haven’t developed your QB is another major mistake this team could make..

T. Higgins, M. Pittman, M. Brown, and C. Ridley will likely be retained by their current teams.

A more likely list:

  • Mike Evans (current age 30.2)
  • Tyler Boyd (29.0)
  • Curtis Samuel (27.2)
  • Kendrick Bourne (28.2)
  • Gabe Davis (24.6)
  • KJ Osborn (26.4)
  • DJ Chark (27.1)

And just like that.....we are still screwed....

...wait till they get here.... u'll see....BTW...Bryce ain't it...so keep investing in no return...

Whatever dude..

Chioce has been made and you have to surround the kid with something and see what you have.. 

You can’t keep putting him out with some bs and hoping he makes chicken salad out of it..

You made the investment now you have to figure out ways to make it work..

Sitting on your ass bitching about it isn’ a option.. Cutting ties after 1 year isn’t a option..

Stop Cincy can’t pay everybody at some point they have to let a player go.. 
 

And Higgins also wants to be a number 1 not a number 2 to chase his whole career..

Please no FA Tight Ends already paying Hurst 10 mill next year plus Ian Thomas and his dumbass contract. Tremble has honestly looked solid this year, when the passing game is complete hose poo it’s hard for many people to show out. Personally I would be really interested in Tyler Boyd, would be a quarter the price of Higgens and is a proven vet with good production.

Agreed. TE is Hurst and Tremble next season (I expect Ian to get cut). You can maybe grab a cheap vet or a rookie, but we aren't getting out of Hurst's contract until after next season.

Cincy has more cap space than us over the next 2 seasons. If we can afford Higgins and Burns they can easily afford Higgins and Chase.

Gabe Davis for me. 
 

Young <25yo

Cheaper (projected ~12.5mil per)

6’3

Could instantly be our best skill position player next year unless Theilen maintains his play in the slot.

Lock him up 4-5 years and we would still have plenty of cap to add to the WR room.

Higgins has been battling injuries all year.  We need to stretch the field and I'm not sure he alone will do that.  Brown can stretch it and so can Tez.  Double dip with a FA and a high draft pick.  Our offense lacks speed so the defense gets to stack the box. 

Higgins was drafted for Burrow as a rookie.  Downs was looking great for AR before AR got hurt.  Dell is looking great for Stroud (he is a speedster as well).  Pickens was drafted to help Pickett.  Drafting a rookie WR to help your young QB is pretty common we just drafted the wrong one.  We drafted one that can't stretch the field or create separation right now in Mingo.  Tez is the opposite.  Mingo is better suited in the slot but we have AT there.

I don't know if it's bc Diggs is a diva and demands more attention, but Davis has fallen off a cliff this part of the season. No thanks on him.

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
