Gettis could have been a dude if not for that ACL tear. Carter was serviceable for a time but he wasn’t the type of guy who would compete with Steve for touches. 

Carter had major injury issues.  Plus he was a 5th round pick.  He was 6'3 with really good speed, but his knees were made out of glass.

We never needed anyone to compete with Steve for touches.  We needed someone to force teams to not triple team Steve.

Why can this team not draft a WR? Rae Carruth-TMJ--the history is terrible.  Heck, the best WR in team history was a third rounder drafted to return punts.  Here is what we have done:

Did not Pan Out

  • Rae Carruth
  • Donald Hayes
  • Walter Young
  • Drew Carter
  • Keary Colbert
  • Ryne Robinson
  • Dwayne Jarrett
  • David Gettis
  • Armanti Edwards
  • Kealoha Pilares
  • Joe Adams
  • Kelvin Benjamin
  • Shi Smith
  • Terry Godwin
  • Terrace Marshall

Works in Progress

  • Jonathan Mingo
  • Xavier Legette

Average Success

  • Brandon Lafell (had three 600 yard seasons with Carolina over 4 years here)
  • Curtis Samuel (had 2000 yards in receiving over 4 years here)

Standouts

  • DJ Moore
  • Steve Smith
  • Mushin Muhammad

 

 

Actually, the sad part is that I miss the one year wonder guys. poo we haven't had one of those in a while.

Most of those were linked with a qb that could make them one.
 

AT was sort of that guy last year for us. Would guess his numbers go down a good amount this year.

I made a Walter Young reference the other day haha and looked him up, he was pick number 226. Looked real good in camp and preseason as I recall.

AT doesn't count. He would be more akin to signing Keyshawn Johnson than drafting a rookie.

We had just a crazy run of those rookie guys that would show promise in year one(sometimes two) and then poof.....gone from the league in a flash.

More recently it has just been bust after bust with little to no production at all.

TMJ is one, Mingo has a season to show he isn’t and XL is looking a little shaky to start out.

Was he an 03 or 04 rookie? I feel like smith referred to him(not by name) in his podcast as a guy who’s heart wasn’t in it

    • Everybody made too much of that. The CBA and the 17 game schedule is what kills the cohesion we see in teams across the league in the opening games.  You decide, look at your depth and make informed decisions there or you get a an extra quarter or whatever two quarters with your ones.  Teams that are set don’t have those openings as much down the roster to evaluate but that ain’t everybody. It is a quandary. I think they need that 4th preseason game back. But as I said, I don’t lay that as the excuse for Bryce to come out looking like he does to start seasons. He has an entire camp. 
    • Hey I said the 1pm west coast team, I said the up down up down and we were due for the up week.  You can’t know what is going to happen. There was a guy that detailed why the league would engineer a Panthers win to bring LA Rams back to the pack in conference standings.  Who really knows, and how much real belief do you have when citing these things? I generally have as much as my superstition allows. It rarely rises to an emotional experience. Usually it is more analytical. In terms of interest. When crazy poo happens and we win a game like today I for sure enjoy it.  I mean you have to think about it, how many times do you connect 2 4th and short situations for TDs? Who does that? That is like the most embarrassing thing for the Rams’ defense lol. That never happens and should never happen.  Expecting it to happen might not be a good plan. But it was pretty great
