4 catches for 110 yards by a UDFA in his first game in more than a month is far more than "playing well." I swear a guy could put up 9 catches for 215 yards, 3 TDs and this board would say "he played decent but he's still not that good". It's OK to admit we have a star WR in the making.

Which changes nothing about Carolina's inability to extend this season as was suggested and makes that window actually even longer than 2 years.

I think the main question is why on earth would you want to extend so far before you need to

We still don't know what we have in Coker. He played well today and has shown flashes this season in limited time. Looks like a ball player, but how will he perform when he starts getting different coverages? Is he an X? Is he a slot? Can he learn all 3 spots? There's a lot of unknowns there.

 

XL is young as well. We poo on him here because of his drops, sure, but the kid COULD develop. Give him time.

Coker is our most exciting receiver by far, but Philly Brown was exciting too. Where is he now? At home after doing nothing after his time here ended.

Brown looked nothing like this.

You can see Coker has excellent hands, runs good routes and has body control. He LOOKS like an NFL WR.

He's promising, but almost all those yards came on a broken coverage. He did look open other times but Bryce couldn't get him the ball, however we'll have to see from the all22 how it went.

I'm excited about what he brings to us and I'm not ready to say what his ceiling is yet, but I'm also not ready to go with a star in the making. It's good we have more games to evaluate him with.

If he was really that guy, we wouldn't be needing to draft a receiver early this coming draft or go big in FA . But as of today we still need to.

Part of his ability is to create a broken coverage -- most every catch on this team is contested, year-in and year-out. So his hands, route-running savvy and overall talent equate to a star in the making. Also, I would far rather go QB, DL or trade down than pick yet another WR early.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
