Is Gettis the guy?

Does anyone here think that Gettis will be the WR we've been looking for? Would you say he's easily the most promising WR since Drew Carter or Steve Smith?

It seems to me like he's got all the talent in the world for success. He looks like a bright player too. It was pretty amazing to see him break that dude's ankles in the SF game. Let's say he get's another two 100yd games. Would the combo of Gettis and LaFell be enough to pass up on a guy like Green?

I like Gettis and LaFell, they both could be considered #1 type receivers. Green is a stud and nearly impossible to pass up on. Those four (Counting Smitty) makes our trade last year for Edwards a wasted pick. What makes it even worse is we would have had the 33rd or 34th pick overall and probably been able to get a STUD DT.

I like Edwards and I like Clausen but if Luck or Green ends up on the Panthers doorstep we GOTTA TAKE EM. That means the careers of these two players will be short lived at least in a Panther Uniform.

If we pick Luck, all the receivers will look better in a year or two. Green is a stud for sure and if Luck doesn't come out he should get consideration for sure. The same with the corner from LSU. Can't miss players who elevate their position almost immediately. Still if you can find a franchise quarterback like Luck. You can't pass up on that either.

No receiver will look good without someone to get him the ball. One day the joke will be, how do you shut Steve Smith down as a receiver? Have Jimmy Clausen as your quarterback.

Seriously though, everything revolves around the quarterback and until that issue gets settled, every other draft pick pales in comparison.

Gettis can definitely stretch the field for us, not sure he's much of a route runner or ever will be, but we need a burner and Gettis is that guy.

I'm hoping LaFell can be the possession receiver that catches everything underneath while Gettis takes the safeties down-field with him.

He needs to do a better job of catching with his hands. He still lets too many balls get to his body. He really doesn't do a good job of snatching the ball out of the air, although hopefully that will improve with experience and development.

Also, he hasn't shown the ability to battle a defender(s) for the ball and come down with it (truthfully, he really hasn't even had the opportunity to show the ability)...so that's an unknown for him, but necessary in any #1 receiver.

    • I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks. 
    • They both outstanding players and both had monster games against Jets.  We gonna need it again this week with the bills.  Go Panthers!!!!
    • Yeah okay fair enough.  Maybe the point is if you have a better system and players you can dumpster dive for a RB and if you don’t you have to shop top shelf. I dunno.    I would put my assets into the best OL I could get and let them make UDFA like Rico look like stars. As opposed to putting CMC behind a makeshift OL. And right now I don’t even remember who was on the OL when we took him, just sayin.
