the dude does not always catch the ball. you've only seen the highlight reels. he's actually a bit unreliable. this in addition to his qb in college not having any kind of zip on his passes. he got lobs thrown at him and he still had trouble. he's also not a good run blocker, something the panthers covet as much as anything in a receiver. i'd love to have him, but not with our 2nd round pick. there are too many other receiving options that are better.

cbs sportsline the end all be all of ratings, lol. there are plenty of rankings from just as legit and knowledgeable sources that have him as one of the top 5-6 WRs in this class and plenty that have him going in the 2nd round.

btw, dez bryant has just as bad a problem catching the ball and is seen as being inconsistent in most phases.

gilyard catches enough to be dangerous which is the best thing to describe him whenever that ball gets in his hands as a receiver and returner (two HUGE needs we have).

btw...i did watch quite a few cincy games this year because i was interested in tony pike as a QB at the beginning of the season but saw gilyard was pretty fantastic at what he did.

2nd round isn't too early for him.

we don't need a return man with our 2nd round pick. he's not going to be returning kicks, he's going to be starting next to steve smith. maybe not this year, but definitely down the road unless he's somehow worse than jarrett. look at ford or holliday later if we want a return man. we need a starter who is reliable and a good run blocker.

we need a starter next to smitty regardless of whether he can block. if i had a choice of a #2 that could return kicks or block down field i'm going to choose the guy who can return kicks. we got other people that can block downfield. we don't have a good returner.

fox doesn't use starters as return men, unless there's no other option. you know that. he'd sooner use munnerlyn, rosario, or stewart than put a starter in.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
