The Dolphins are shopping Ted Ginn Jr.

It would definitely depend on the asking price, but he would make a great speed wide reciever/ great return man........ I know our Panthers are ultra-conservative, but a dual threat guy makes a lot of sense right now. That way we could draft a taller possession reciever like Benn or Thomas assuming they are available...ahhh Hell I'm going into Madden mode again

Just so I'm clear the Panthers will not trade for him before the draft, by that time he will probably already be gone.

Smith wants someone faster.

Is Ginn faster? check.

Meets youth requirement?check

return man? check

can run a go route pretty good?check, better than the one we always threw to Moose.

If cheap, he is worth a look. He ain't a good WR, but his skill set actually fits pretty well into some of our needs.

i'd rather not.

thanks, though.

only on kick returns would i be interested but i'd rather have someone that was a dual threat. he ain't that.

well, considering the last threat we had at return man was like 6 years ago (or whenever Smitty was fulltime)......I might be willing to settle for a one dimensional return man at this point.

All the debate is likely wasted. We aren't picking up anyone before the draft and likely scrubs afterwards. Unless he is free, I doubt we even look at him.

I tend to agree.....I was hoping his youth and cheapness could make Carolina break there general gameplan. I mean, at this point it might make a little more sense to have him on the roster than Jarrett. Both aren't proven to be good options, but Ginn has 4 more rec TDs, 2 rushing TD, 2 KR TD, and a PR TD......during the same time in the league. Granted, he got more opportunity but he is probably an upgrade on Jarrett's spot. Is young enough to go through this rebuilding and come out.

    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
    • It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
