I want Robinson to be the guy next season. We haven't had a kick or punt return touchdown since 2003 when Rod Smart did it on a kick off. Smitty also returned a punt that season.

Smith had a punt return for a touchdown in that horrible 2005 NFCCG against Seattle.

Point stands though. This season has been the first one in years where we've had anything resembling good punt/kickoff returns.

I want to see what Robinson can do as a receiver.

I know some will disagree with me, but I like Mark Jones a lot. Jones was steady and reliable and I'll take that over flashy and scary any day. I'm not saying that Robinson is scary, and I liked what he did on returns the little I saw him play, but Jones was solid this year and really elevated our ST's over what they had been.

Jones had a lot of returns that got us to the 35-45 yard line. I think he has won this job and Robinson has to steal it from him, which I don't see happening. Robinson is faster, but Jones makes better decisions and sees the holes better, if he had more speed I have no doubt he'd have 2-3 KR TD's this year. Robinson can be a decent WR I think, so we may keep him on for that and also as backup returner. I don't expect to keep Hackett, so I'd like to see a Smith/Moose/Jarrett/Robinson WR core.

I don't think you win the job by doing the bare minimum. Jones has the advantage over the previous returners because they were trying to go out and make something happen, Jones is told "just don't mess up"

Robinson brings more to the team than Jones does.

Wrong. Jones was a top 10 returner. Just because he didn't get a TD on a return doesn't make him mediocre. He had a TON of good returns that got us GREAT field position. True, he doesn't make mistakes, but to say he falls down at the 21 yard line every time is pretty retarded. I know everyone wants Devin hester or Dante Hall (in his prime) back there returning, but it's not always like that.

Right. The stats that make Jones year good. Zero fumbles, Zero dropped balls. That right there says it all to me.

I don't see any reason to bring back Robinson at this point.

Jones did a fantastic job as a punt and kick returner. I'd stick with him over Robinson's "potential."

I'd keep Robinson for maybe being a WR or possible returner in the future though. He has a cheap rookie contract and any WR thats past Moose/Smith isn't going to be used anyway so it wouldn't be worth paying anyone more than a rookie contract to be a #4 WR anyway.

I'd prefer Jones to hold his return duties for awhile myself. I prefer his get up the field style. Secure the ball and go forward. Don't go side line to side line or worse yet...backwards! Get me positive yards up the field, and Jones fills that perfectly. Special Team is one less thing I have to stress about on game day when he is back there returning for us.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
