So maybe they were right.

This is not a "I told you so thread" at all. Cause I had some doubts.

However, maybe Hurney and JR were not being 100% cheap, and were being honest when they said that they thought that they had talent at the WR position when they were asked about bringing in a veteran.

Maybe we still should have, maybe we would be 2-4, or 3-3. But maybe not.

Its still very early, and it is only 1 good game by Gettis and LaFell, but I believe these guys showed why, during training camp, Hurney thought they could get the job done with competent QB play.

Maybe Hurney CAN draft a WR. Either way, he stuck to his guns, good for him.

I am optimistic, but I know the pessimists will say that JR was being cheap, and it just worked out for them for one week.

I am willing to go through the growing pains with these receivers, as long as I see progress.

If these guys can continue to get better, which is a BIG if. We may have a solid, cheap core for years to come.

This is why you dont judge rookies after 5 weeks, but at the same time this is why you dont say that they are gonna be great after ONE game. But, we do know what they are capable of.

We beat the worst team in the league by a field goal and all of a sudden Fox and Hurney are gods again.

lol

You said it before I could...

SF is garbage. We'll be lucky to be 4-12 this year and after a loss to the Seahawks, those that were hating on Fox/Hurney earlier will start to do it again.

      Look at the WRs in recent drafts around 19

      By frankw · Posted

      Unfortunately you just can't get through to some of these folks. The most successful season in Panthers history our #1 WR was Ted Ginn Jr who had just as many bone headed drops as he did highlight touchdowns. We already have the highest paid OL in the league two years running. We need a balanced roster more than anything else clearly.

      Pantherswire hypothetical trade down 19-22

      https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2026/04/06/nfl-draft-trade-rumors-panthers-chargers-quentin-johnston/89484524007/?link_source=ta_first_comment&taid=69d47a425bd91b00016ecfb1&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=facebook Saw this hypothetical trade down scenario on Panthers wire where they had us dropping from 19 to 22 trade with the chargers which also knitted us the addition of Quinton Johnston personally I would take this deal because the players available at 22 and 19 are largely the same you could pick up maybe a tackle or even one of those defensive tackles that we liked like banks.  Grabbing a wide receiver who could probably replace legate and be a deep ball threat would be just what the doctor ordered in my opinion Yes he's kind of a reclamation project similar to legette but I think he's shown he can play and has more big game moments than legette. I think it would be like getting two for the price of one really allowing us to feel more holes getting a wide receiver and another spot filled for nothing but two or three draft spots.

      I saw a mock draft where Monroe Freeling falls to the Panthers at 19 and if that happens they'd better rush their card to the podium.
