Edwards is a lock for the team. So is Gettis if you ask me. They would not have used him on the 1st team as much if not.

I want that to be true as much as you, I'm just not getting my hopes up for Gettis making the team even though I'm a huge fan of his and have been wanting this since we drafted him. And yeah Edwards is more likely to make the team than PS, but its still a possibility.

Because Moore has made some plays this preseason and, believe it or not, he had 6 catches for 90something yards last year. At the very least, you can trust him to line up properly and run the right route. He's also a pretty good blocker.

Im supposed to be amazed by those numbers when Jarrett has 196 yards and a TD... Sorry please try again.

If you understand how the PS squad works then you know there is no way Edwards goes there. If we place him on the PS at any point in the season a team wants to add him to there roster they can... We gave up way too much for that to happen. With Gettis seems like he may be about to contribute at the end of the year and he will be grabbed up also if put on the PS.

You shouldn't be amazed by either one of them, but just remember that Moore put up his numbers after having to work his way up from the bottom of the depth chart, and he has only played in 12 career games, with 1 start. Jarrett has been given every opportunity to start from day 1 and has played in 29 games in 3 years.

You're right, I'm not completely knowledgeable how the ps works, so I'm assuming by your response your pretty good with it...So you've pretty much convinced me that both Gettis & Edwards will be on the team. 100% chance. I'll take your word for now. ;) We'll see what happens

All im saying is that nether is a great bet. You cant really say Im wrong on that ether. No one fears a WR by committee and thats what we have right now. I pray that the lights go on fast for LaFell and he pulls away from both.

Is that the one that was gettin under your skin? Why wouldnt they just cut him if they were totally done with him?

Because you can't just cut an injured player.

The Panthers may work out an injury settlement with Taylor in the next few days and then waive him. Regardless, Taylor has played his last down for the Carolina Panthers.

Edwards will be. I hope Gettis will also but knowing how our staff works we will put him on the PS and he will get grabbed up and do very well somewhere else. While we wait for Jarrett and Moore to develop. :rolleyes:

I think it’s because they see better potential with Guy and Gettis than they do with Jarrett

You can't honestly think that Guy and Gettis have more potential than DJ? DJ has comparable size, speed, strength, and hands to Anquan Boldin. Seriously. He is just a dumb ass that can't get it together. But the potential is definitely there.

Guy and Gettis are run of the mill, dime a dozen players. Guy is this year's Larry Beaver, a speedy, undersized WR that will forever be on the fringe of someone's roster. While I do see a decent amount of Drew Carter like potential in Gettis, he isn't going to help this year when the Panthers are going to need WR help.

Hate on DJ if you want because he is dumb, unassertive, or downright lazy, but don't claim that he has less potential than an UDFA scrap heap pickup like Guy.

Opening Day- DJ will be the #2 WR for the Panthers. Bank on it.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      with arm strength people often get stuck on the distance  arm strength in the NFL is moreso measured in speed / velocity .which of course is how long does it take for  the ball to travel from the time of release until it reaches its target ? & u beat world class speed with more speed on the ball...just saying

      No GM hits 100%. I'm well aware. But what a GM has to do is look at the roster, what's available, and future contracts and go from there. XL was a one season wonder in college. He has speed. Who cares. He body catches and his hands are bricks. Speed doesn't matter when you don't actually have the ball. There were other receivers available with better resumes. XL was a project. Fitts loved projects. You don't have the luxury of projects when you just traded away DJ for a QB. 1st round WRs need to contribute now.  Brooks was a luxury RB pick we didn't have the luxury to make. Who cares if Dallas was going to pick him. We had holes all over our defense. Chuba was coming off a fresh contract. We just inked 150m interior line and then centered it by moving a guard to center that had suffered 2 season ending injuries. The most critical area on our line was being held together by a bandaid and a prayer. No surprise when it didn't work.   Wallace is getting better but Wilson was sitting there waiting to be taken. DPOY for college football right there for the taking. That was a gimme pick. If you're going to take a risk on an injured player, the 3rd round for Wilson made a whole lot more sense at a position we were rest stop TP thin at.  4th round and on aren't going to be heavy contributors unless you're lucky.  He did well on the trade for Jackson. Coker, I believe he offered the largest guarantee. He actually got more than some late round picks make.  Those 1st 3 picks, IMO, were straight up whiffs.  Looking back at Fitterer's picks, I think he tried to plug holes because we had a ton of them. Problem was, he wasn't very good at it and he loved RAS scores and developmental players with a coach that couldn't develop a Polaroid. He tried to do too much. He was impatient. His other problem was he panicked during the draft and couldn't read or understand the flow of how drafts tend to go. DJ Johnson was the prime example. We needed an edge rusher and he jumped in at the end of the run instead of starting it.  Morgan's first year looked exactly like Fitts to me. Lots of projects.  2nd year looks better.  We'll see how 3rd year goes. FA also plays into all of this as well but that's a whole different topic of how it played out and planning with regard to drafting.

      The only social media I want to see out of XL this offseason is….

      I judge how good our players are by the way a defense covers them. XL draws no special coverage. Coker on the other hand always has a man over the top. It still doesn’t matter. You be the judge.
