Panthers Wide Receiver Problem


KatsAzz

Recommended Posts

Unless a premier wide receiver falls to us in the 2nd round,which may be doubtful,we may be better off going the free agency route.

Personally,I think that with 2011 having so much uncertainty, John Fox only being around because of this situation, and also wanting to see our team do something this year, that we would be better served getting 2-3 free agents wide receivers.

If we make a trade for Vincent Jackson, pick up Chris Chambers and Kevin Walters or Lance Moore, we would be set for a long time!

If we traded for Jackson and picked up Chris Chambers, and then were fortunate enough to be in a position to draft Thomas, then this would be an even better sceniro.

Vincent Jackson is great but there's no reason to trade all our picks away for him and then turn around and give him a huge contract. Not when there are so many other options that can be had easier and cheaper. Breaston, Lance Moore, Hixon, Shipley, Tate, Gilyard just to name a few.

And Chambers is a terrible idea, especially if we keep Moose. How many ancient WRs do we need on the team. Imagine if Smitty got hurt and then we're lining up Moose and Chambers LOL

    • He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....
    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
