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.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
