You're calling him a bust cuz of the combine? Didn't Heyward-Bey have a good combine last year?

Wow jump to conclusions much, Heyward-Bey has played one season with perhaps one of the worst QB's in league history throwing him the ball most of said season.

Wasn't jumping to conclusions, just stating my opinion. Calling somebody a bust cuz of the combine workout over a solid college career is jumping to conclusions.

But calling somebody a bust who has 1 year under there belt playing with the worst QB in the NFL and a terrible offensive line that doesn't give said QB time to throw him the ball isn't........interesting.

Which part of my post did I call him a bust?

By questioning someones post where they said Gilyard's combine shows he will be a bust then turning around and saying your using someones combine to say they are a bust "didn't DHB have a good combine last year", makes it appear that you are implying he is a bust despite having a good combine.

Nobody is widely considered a bust until about their 2nd or 3rd year. That is if they make it that far, all I'm trying to point out is that the combine doesn't mean jack until the players are in pads & you can see what they can do against pro athletes.

Fair enough and for what it's worth I just don't see Gilyard being explosive enough to be a playmaker at the NFL level.

I respect that. I don't know if he will be either, but we gotta take a chance on somebody & with our draft position he might be the best wr option available so who knows?

I would rather draft someone with the game breaking speed. You cant teach speed you can teach a kid how to run routes. I'm pretty high on Jacoby Ford and Mike Williams right now and if the reports about Thomas running a 4.38 before he fractured his foot are accurate I think the Panthers would be foolish not to draft him in the second.

When it comes to style of play thats who DJ reminds me of..Now all we need is his production to match..lol

I think if Moore is the starter this season and DJ is allowed to actually get on the field more then two snaps a game you will see his production at the level everyone was hoping for the last 3 years. Otherwise he will probably just be producing somewhere else in 2011.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
