He gonna slip down to us since nicks has taken the spotlight from him. do it he a playmaker like smitty be a hell of punt returner & kick off returner and could take moose spot when he retires which prob wont be too much longer.

While I LOVE Brandon Tate as a prospect, I wouldn't invest more then a fourth in him. We already have Smitty Moose and DJ may have Hackett on the roster(I hope not as he seems to take away PT from DJ) and we have Robinson coming back to do return duties as well as we may bring back Jones. While he would bring a ton to the return game we already have Robinson who we invested a third 2 years ago on. Just dont see it happening IMO.

We have so many smallish receivers to choose from. While I like Tate I wouldn't invest anything more than a 5th round pick in him. I am still hoping that Ryne Robinson and D. Jarrett can be guys we can count on as well as a guy like Jason Carter. Smitty has 5 good years left in him and when the time comes we can go high in the draft to get someone.

I am a Tarheel fan, but this is a huge stretch. Tate is awesome...or was. Who knows what he'll be like after his acl blowout? I think getting Nicks would be a steal, but don't see it happening. I just hope we trade up in the 2nd round to get either DE from Utah or Cincy. Both have high motors and would thrive in Meeks' scheme (I certainly hope it's Meeks' scheme).

It would be nice to have a great punt returner again but I don't think we need to waste a pick on one this year. I'd like to see some picks on the D-line first and foremost. I wonder how Tate's status looks on the draft boards out there, I haven't looked at any yet. Maybe he won't get picked at all and we can pick him up after the draft.

Why not take Tate just to be a returner? But with that said, Brandon Tate showed this year before his injury that he can play receiver well too. He flat out was Carolina's best playmaker when he was healthy. He was the best option even with Hakeem Nicks. I think Mark Jones did well this year, but I dont think he is great. I understand the other side of the argument though with Tate coming off a very serious injury. From what I have heard he will be participating in the drills at the NFL Combine so maybe we will have a better feel for him after that. Go Heels, Go Panthers, Go Davidson Wildcats.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
