Will Steve Smith have a threat opposite him next year?

The general consensus seems to be that it's a 99.99% chance that Fox is gone next year. So, a new coach, picking new pieces, putting his team together would have to address this issue right?

Hurney is still gonna be the GM so that means that we have a little bit of predictability in what might happen. JR will also still be the team owner. We should have a large amount of cap and Im just not buying that he's going cheap next year. I dont think he'll tell Hurney to buy the farm either but just that he would have to loosen the leash a little if he wants to continue to have fans.

So if not somebody already on the roster, who should it be?. . taking in to account that they will be realistically available.

I'm in the minority here but I happen to think we are just fine at the receiver position.

We have two young guys that show a ton of potential and usually for WR the 2 or 3 year is their break out years!

Then we have Guy on the PS which I believe is an excellent WR and if he didn't stay hurt in OTA and Training Camp would be on the active roster.

We're not fine this year, but we will be - both LaFell and Gettis are ahead of schedule.

That catch by LaFell in the Bengals game was jaw-dropping. I don't care if it was in "garbage time" that was an amazing catch (and throw by Clausen).

I think LaFell will be the guy.

I think LaFell could easily turn into a WR who amazes you with some nice/tough grabs.....but can't be counted on for some of the easiest ones.

I don't think you are asking the right question.... I honestly believe the Panthers have found a solid 2-3 combination in Lafell and Gettis. The real question is who is eventually going to replace Smith as the number one??

As much as I like those two I doubt that either one could become legitimate number ones (unless Gettis just explodes, he has more potential in my opinion) although maybe they could combine to become a great dual threat. If we do go receiver next year in free agency or the draft I suspect we will be looking for a home run..ala AJ Green

Also don't discount Armanti yet. No I am not an App State homer, but obviously he has potential. Hopefully Gettis, Lafell, and Edwards will become a three pronged receiver attack that will essentially be like having Smitty...hopefully.

Also I really think Barnidge and or Rosario will develop into a great receiving tight end for us. I know they haven't shown much in the past few games, but give them time and good things will happen.

Dont rule out Gettis. While LaFell is more NFL ready right now. Gettis has more speed and better hands. I think Marty might have hit some gold this season. ;)

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
