I know it's a little early but...Lafell, A.E., D. Thomas, and later Charley Martin

I know I'm probably getting a little too excited too early, but could this turn into a situation where the more talented will beat out the talented instead of the less suck beating out the suck?

I can't help but ponder the possibility that in the end we may already have the WR's we have been waiting for and if today was an indication, it's just going to take some time for them to work themselves into the job. And if that's the case....what happens with the guys above?

I know Charley Martin is done for the year, but let's not forget he showed by far the most potential out of all of our rookies this year.

Gettis earned his spot today, so imo he's a lock, for at least a couple of more starts. But what of Devin Thomas and LaFell? Who gets the number 3? And where does that leave Armanti Edwards? Is he just going to be stuck as a Wildcat "specialist"?

How about draft day? Do we still go for a high profile WR? I think there are more questions after today than before.

PS: I forgot about Dante Rosario. He may still be an option too.

I don't believe Charley Martin is a rookie and he also lacks the upside of Gettis, LaFell, and even Edwards. He had a good camp but his injury problems may have cost him his potential job.

By the time Gettis and LaFell have 16 games under their belts Martin will look like an awful option. It would be a huge victory if he could make the team.

Martin isn't a rookie and hasn't done anything in his career as a Panther to suggest that he's any good. That's not to say he doesn't have potential, but we don't really have any reason right now to think he'll even make the team next year. Lafell earned the #3 spot today, but Thomas may have the talent to push him for it. Clowney can probably help on special teams but, unless he can beat out Thomas, probably won't stick. Edwards still needs to develop, so we'll see on him.

Right now I'm just pumped that we have two great receivers as starters.

Your right martin isn't a rookie and would not have made the team if Wallace Wright didn't get hurt in the Tenn. game.

    • The motto means nothing if they lay down and submit to the opponent. One of the most embarrassing things I have seen from twenty years of being a fan.  Regardless if the lead seems to be insurmountable, you keep giving 110% untill the final second. Canales is definitely a Beta and it wasn't a good look at all. I wonder what the locker room was whispering about after that sh%t. I hope we never see this again and he actually grows a pair of balls. He needs to look in the mirror and understand that you just don't do that in the NFL. Maybe peewee football so kids don't get hurt. Throw the 3rd stringers in to run the play and finish the game wirh some some pride and don't bend the knee.  
    • No but we should have kept both of them. People complaining about what he got paid can’t say much now because it’s absolutely worth it to get 15 sacks which we could desperately use, especially when you compare it to some of the free agents we have signed to try to replace that production (none of them have come close and we are wasting good money on them) 
    • That period started rough but the canes stayed with it.  They will when this game 3-1 or 4-2 the way it’s going.
