Think that AE will become a real NFL receiver next year?

I always want players on our team to step up and play well. Why would you want players to suck. The more players we have that don't play well the worse our team becomes. So using simple logic I want our players to play well because that most likely will result in a good team.

I think he has the talent but who knows what kind of work he's putting in. He got a pass from me last year but he needs to step up this year. That being said; it also really depends on who we draft, if SS stays and he still has Gettis and Lafell to contend with. I give it 50/50.

Do you think Fox gave him a fair chance?

If we draft a receiver, he might not have much of a shot at WR (but probably will with returns still).

but if we go into next year with Gettis, Lafell and Smith as our top 3, he'll have a shot to compete for the 4th spot and he very well might win it.

When he gets the ball in his hands he is exciting and I think he could really surprise some people this coming year with an OC that opens it up.

I don't expect much of him this year but I do expect him to show some flashes. You have to remember that most WRs take a year or 2 to adjust to the NFL, and that's assuming they played the position in college. Tack on another year for AE.

      Panthers Preseason

      Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
