Some WR options...

It's obvious we need another WR, while Gettis looks promising he just isn't a number two. I spent some time during class today looking at NFL rosters and possible realistic players the Panthers could target if they wanted to. Forget it people Vincent Jackson isn't coming here. While only one of these guys is a number two receiver on their team they would all easily be the best option after Smitty. I have no clue if the Panthers are looking at trade options to upgrade WR but if they aren't they should be. So heres my list....

James Jones or Jordy Nelson: Green Bay Packers, even though James Jones cost his team a win last night with a costly fumble his ability cant be questioned. Jordy Nelson is a playmaker who could not only help us at receiver but also provide valuable experience at Special Teams. Both would be fair compensation for Tyrell Sutton I think.

Jacoby Jones: Houston Texans, Jacoby Jones is an explosive playmaker who doesn't get enough opportunities because of players like Andre Johnson, Kevin Walter and Owen Daniels. He could instantly take pressure from Smith because he has deep speed and "Smitty like" playmaking ability.

Anthony Gonzalez: Indianapolis Colts, with the emergence of Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie as playmakers in the Colts offense Gonzalez may have become expendable. While he would take more to get being a recent first round choice he could certainly upgrade our offense with his crisp routes and above average hands.

Mike Sims-Walker: Jacksonville Jaguars, watching the Jaguars this year one thing is for certain. Sims-Walker is not David Gerrard's go to receiver anymore, that distinction belongs to the emerging Mike Thomas. With Jacksonville being dedicated to running MJD they may be willing to part with MSW if the price is right. While it would take something of value to get him he would provide a physical target for Clausen that could remind us of the good old days with 2003 Moose and Smitty.

Devin Thomas: Washington Redskins, Thomas must be in Shannahan's doghouse or something. Thomas has a nice combination of speed and size and is a Sims-Walker light. He has yet to tally a catch on the season and could probably be had for next to nothing.

Deon Butler: Seattle Seahawks, with Pete Carroll's commitment to Mike Williams and Deion Branch and the coaching staffs desire to get Golden Tate the ball Butler could more then likely be taken off their hands. He is a young receiver who brings current experience but he should also continue to progress.

So that's what I came up with, no huge names that make you go oooo outside of Sims-Walker and he's probably the least obtainable of all of them but a lot of nice options. My personal favorites are the two GB receivers or Deon Butler. Feel free to post your own if you would like, hopefully the FO will try and make a move to bring more talent in....

Jacoby Jones - didnt he just have a beast game

And it could be Kevin Walter next week in that offense. Anybody can be traded for the right price. He's a guy that shouldn't warrant anything higher then a 3 so to me he's an option...

      Do You Agree With These Excuses?

      Extrapolate that with every QB for that matter. I guarantee you there's quite a bit of missed opportunities and yards left on the field for everyone. Many NFL QBs deal with WRs not putting in A+ effort, subpar o-line play and other deficiencies. The great ones are able to rise above these issues and create opportunities for plays. Guys like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes can both play in and out of structure, as well as find ways to get yards when things break down and mask mistakes by throwing guys open, creating opportunities from nothing, etc. Bryce Young has only shown he's able to make things happen when the rest of the team picks up his slack. Very rarely does he create those opportunities himself. When this is a consistent pattern year after year with Bryce where he shows up lackluster, it's a concern. This is year three and he should be elevating the team as a first overall pick this franchise traded up for.  He was far from elevating anyone against JAX. In fact, he needed others to elevate and create for him. Excuses may be fine for a rookie, but this is year three for the first overall pick. Not looking good so far.

      I think the worst issue is coaching. Countless bad snaps, XL not getting his feet in or trying on runs plays, our centre being down field when he didn't need to be. All seem to be from poor coaching for me. I believe Canales is to soft to rip the players a new one when the fug up. Plus I honestly believe that Canales is slow getting his plays in giving Bryce less time to diagnose and adjust to the defence. Don't worry I could of head butted Bryce for that fumble and the 4th down throw aways but the other plays are explainable to me
