I know it has been posted at least a dozen times. How we need WR help. IMO it is the #1 need of this team. The one thing we need to put us back in the playoffs and into contention for a SB ring.

My question isn't Which WR we would like. But which WR is NFL ready. Which WR will be able to come in and contribute immediately (EXCLUDING Free Agents)

Though he is a projected 3rd round. I believe Shipley is.

yeah, i'm with the guy above sort of. shipley impressed me in that bowl game, but after colt mccoy went out, it seemed like his play making ability was really overrated because of mccoy's ability.

every time i watch Brandon Lafell's 2010 NFL Draft Highlights, it makes me think of a hybrid between Donald Driver and Reggie Wayne. and i believe he's one of the most "NFL ready" receivers in this year's draft. i personally think he'd be the perfect fit for our team, though, and could still be hanging around in the second round.

or mardy gilyard, just cause he's got so much play making ability like steve smith. could you imagine two steve smith's on the field at the same time?

Would love that. I drool every time I watch Desean Jackson and thinking what we would have had, had we had him. So that type of talent can come in and contribute immediately.

I have heard lots of good things about both of these guys.

I'm not a big Brandon lafell guy for two reasons...1) a friend of mine who is a huge LSU fan said he is an average at best WR. He said he dropped too many passes in big time situations and didn't make enough plays...which has been his two biggest negatives from scouts. 2) after watching some of the highlights of lafell it seemed like all his big plays or TD's came on a missed assignment when he was wide open. He won't have that luxury in the NFL, I may be wrong but it don't like him...as a potentail WR.

I like Gilyard and Shipley. Shipley has great character and has a high motor, plays special teams etc. Plus I think he might be around in the 4th round. I would n't mind taking Gilyard in 2nd and Shipley in 4th; perhaps one of them would work out.

Also, keep an eye out for Andre Roberts; he could be steal of draft at WR.

Steve Smith #1

Brandon LeFell solid WR#2

Jacoby Ford WR#3 competitor

Kenny Moore WR#3 competitor

Wallace WR#5

Cut:

Dwayne Jarrett - $$ and lack of production

Charlie Martin - Resigned to practice squad if that is possible

:lol: seriously?

dude is only getting $550k on the last year of his contract = no point in cutting him. as a 3rd or 4th WR (which he would be at worst) you can't do much better. only one year left on the deal no sense in cutting him loose at this point. see what he can do with moose gone and a new QB and a new WR coach that isn't old enough to be his great grandfather. can't do any harm and it certainly wouldn't hold the team back to keep him on the roster. not like there is much expected out or the WR3 or 4 anyway.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.

      Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
