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.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
