Why?

His upside is through the roof. Many felt he was a 2nd or 3rd round talent, but needs refinement in his route running and catching with his hands. If we cut him in order to put him on the PS, then someone else would swoop in and grab him for his potential.
pretty much this.

moore is much more of a project than gettis with nowhere near the upside.

he has had a couple years to show something and hasn't been able to show much other than the panthers need to keep looking.

this is one year that loyalty is thrown out the window (finally) as the biggest factor in deciding who gets the start or even has a roster spot. the fact that they have a couple years invested in jarrett and moore mean nothing at this point...same with moore supposedly being a home town favorite (i promise you there aren't going to be too many people upset if moore isn't on the roster).

Im not going to lie. I thought he would have had a better college career than he had. I remember watching the Army High School All American game a few years ago and seeing how shocked everyone was when Gettis chose Baylor. I thought he was going to be a star there, but I guess he didnt develop to his potential b/c he is just as raw then as he is now. That being said id rather have him on the team then Kenny Moore and Dexter Jackson

Well, I've read that this past year was the first year Baylor put any emphasis in the passing game. So that tells me that they probably don't have the highest caliber WR coach (or offensive coaches in general), and I don't think the QB's there were particularly good. So it makes sense that his development would have been stunted.

Gettis is a prototype WR with very high upside.. very raw at this point, but with good coaching, he can be a steal in the 6th round. He won't see much playing time this year, if any at all.. but he will definitely make the 53 man roster.. there is no way he makes it to our PS.

1.Smitty

2.Jarrett

3.Lafell

4.Edwards

5.Gettis

6.Wallace Wright (Special Teams only)

Moore, Jackson, Charly Martin are all going to be cut.

In retrospect Gettis choosing Baylor was a terrible decision if he was serious about playing pro football. I think a lot of teams thought he was more serious about track than football and rightfully so. There is commitment issues, not to mention development issues. The kid has a ton of bad habits now. I hope he can break them.

Gettis will stay purely because he was drafted but I would think Jarrett would be ahead of him on a depth chart. Why are people so sold on Armanti Edwards....a division 2 QUARTERBACK trying to play receiver. The only use we will get out of him is wildcat plays. Not too many QB's transition successfully to WR with Antwan Randle El being the most successful but the most he has done in his carrer is be a solid number two receiver.

Regarding Edwards... It is his athletic abilities and his and his Steve Smith like desire to win i love about him.

WR who have played QB in college:

Hines Ward

Randle El

Crayton

Brad Smith

Arnaz Battle

Ronald Curry

Cribbs

Thats is just on top of my head... Boldin did also play some QB I think.

Edwards didn't play in division 2, and he's also supposed to be a return man. For another good example of someone who made the transition successfully, look at Josh Cribbs.

At this point, Gettis sounds like Drew Carter. Fast, biggish, and a body catcher. Moore should get a chance this season. Do some of you really think we are going into the season with Smith, three rookies and a special teamer? I think we keep six WRs, and Moore will be the third WR, behind Smith and LaFell. You have to be careful about cutting players in their third year when they play a position that takes FIRST rounders a few years to get right. That would mean Jarrett and Gettis are fighting for a spot. If Jarrett wins, Gettis to PS. If Gettis wins, Jarrett gets cut.

Wright will be on the field before Edwards if Edwards doesn't win the PR job. I rate them this way:

Smith

Lafell

Moore

Wright

Edwards

Jarrett

Gettis

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
