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...

      Between Canales and Morgan, who do you keep and trust moving forward

      But again as I stated in the other thread, other than JJ Jansen, the only constant since Tepper bought the team has been Tepper himself. We have an ownership problem. Almost every single one of this team's issues can be traced back to David Tepper.

      Not throwing at the combine was the giveaway

      My deceased father was an All-ACC End and he raised me teaching me football--I never realized how he changed my understanding of the game--however, one thing he said that I will never forget:  The measure of a good NFL QB is this:  "If your team is down by 6 or fewer points in the fourth quarter but has the ball with under two minutes and with 2 timeouts, are you favored to win?  Can he put the team on his back and drive the field for a TD more than 50% of the time?"  If we are down 14-20 and have the ball on our own 20 with 2 timeouts--does Bryce win the game more than 50% of the time?  (It rarely happens).  If not, there is no reason to keep him around.  If he gets hot and we win a few games, he will want major $$$.  While I am not blaming him, I do not see that Alpha at QB.  Sorry.  He has improved, but do we have that Alpha dawg in the huddle when the game is on the line?  That 4th down pass in the end zone tells us what he is--unfortunately.

      Lol Curry was an elite shooter the moment he stepped into the big leagues, dude wasn't out there shooting 15% from three.   Accuracy is 100% coachable, its the physical talent that cant be coached lol.   Josh Allen completed 52% of his passes for 10 tds and 12 ints as a rookie....   Improving from that to what he is now is NOT NATURAL talent it is work....
