No he's not. You still living in the past. Hopkins has been injury prone over the last few years and he's no longer a deep threat WR.

 

Johnson at this point is a better WR.

What has always made Nuk great in his prime was his hands and ability to go up and get the ball.  He has never lost that.   he is auto 1000+ WR if healthy even at his current age.  He was last year with a trash rookie QB.  

Healthy? Nuk all day.  If you are trying to win now? Nuk.  Dionate a better investment for a team looking further out.

Well he has no excuses now. He's got the best QB in the NFL. I want results.

I mean, he put up 1000+ with rookie Levis last year.   Results is what he does.  Just about staying on the field.

Anyone not losing sleep over the thought of XL and Mingo is beyond help. 

 

All fun n games until we see this offense without Johnson.

Coker actually looks good, but are you expecting us to look a lot worse without DJ?  We are looking historically bad.  Might as well develop some young guys if we are going to get demolished every week...

Yes we will look a lot worse. Neither XL/Mingo/Coker have proven to be a deep threat. Who's making plays down the field after we trade Johnson?

Cool so instead of scoring 7 we score 0.  We still get a pick and remove a veteran who is setting a terrible example.  You do see him giving up on routes right?  Guess who also has the most INTs when targeted in the league out of WRs?  I will give you a hint, he is a Panthers but not XL, Mingo, or Coker....

Overpaying Diontae Johnson which is what it would have taken to even begin to convince him to stay is not going to help us in the long run.

If you wanna hitch your wagon to him do your thing bud.

Yeah and if we want to overpay a WR we are better off throwing money at Higgins in the offseason. He is much better.

If we’re gonna overpay a receiver I’d rather ship DJ and a pick to the jets for Garrett Wilson

It’s not fun and games.  We are losing every week by 20-30 points.  If we didn’t have Johnson we’d still be losing every week by 20-30 points.  Overpaying Johnson won’t do any more than overpaying Christian Kirk did for Jacksonville.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Tanking in the NFL isn’t really a thing and anybody wanting to bring the rigged lottery to the NFL has an ulterior motive.

      Ravens safety out for year. Torn Achilles… Panthers may need to do something

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I understand where you're coming from, but we need another safety IMHO. Other positions, especially on defense, dont have ideal depth, but to me at least S is the one position we can't stand pat at even when thinking about the future

      100%. Nick Scott was awful last year. Like, even for a franchise that hasn't historically invested in that position, it stood out for how awful it was. If he sees meaningful snaps at S again we're cooked.  Maybe he has value for ST, but I certainly hope we can upgrade. Jordan Fuller, who was by all accounts an Evero guy, was almost as bad. Xavier Woods was bad, but not complete garbage. Still did not want him back. Those 3 guys seriously may have been the worst S group in the NFL. And they all were brought in, especially Fuller, as good fits for this system. Everyone knocks the defensive line, and they deserve a lot of blame, too, but so, so many times our safeties inability to tackle let 4-5 yard runs turn into 10+. And it happened over and over and over again if you watch the film. Honestly, Demani Richardson was the only S by the end of the year I remember making positive plays. I have no issue with Richardson being in the mix and/or competing to be a starter, but we still need another S desperately IMHO who has actually played meaningful snaps in the NFL. The only caveat/excuse for our secondary was the fact our pass rush was nonexistent for large stretches last year. Maybe that helps with coverage, but I dont see how that makes any of these guys better at tackling.  I know it somewhat feels like piling on at this point, but I feel 100% confident in saying this was the worst tackling team in franchise history. The 70ish yard pass play we gave up to Jamarr Chase where he ran through and past everyone in the secondary has to be up there in terms of most embarrassing plays I've ever seen. I can't imagine how embarrassed Kuechly must have been watching from the booth... I think bringing back Evero was a mistake, but for a team that has had nothing but change over the past 5 years, I'm willing to see this through. I definitely think we added significantly to the floor of this defense with the additions we made. I dont think Evero has any further excuses if he cant field a unit that can at least somewhat hold their own. Fixing the safety play is going to be a big part of that.
