The Coker thread

I could argue that they need a deep threat, (and you could argue that both are) but I agree. The only reason Coker is not a bigger name is because they tried to develop XL.  But Horn is coming along (too soon?) Tremayne had 15 receptions on 19 targets for 160 yards--bottom of the roster quality.   If you step back, there are bigger needs on this team, like edge and LB

Right and at some point we also have to expect this coaching staff to develop their young talent like other teams. I mean we aren't going to ever get over the hump without that.

We need to adapt the Cignetti method in drafting. PRODUCTION over POTENTIAL. Nobody loves a good project more than the Carolina Panthers! We should never draft a "project" before the 5th round or unless we already have productive talent at the position and can give them time to (hopefully) develop. All we can do is hope that Morgan and Co. have learned their lesson on that from the 1st draft and see what happens this year.

What sized font do you use when you admit that you were wrong?   (Seriously, there were a few of us pounding the drum for him and we have been.  Nothing Not to like about him.

Besides how often he hits up Panda Express in the offseason.

If I had his money, I would own stock in door dash and companies that enlarge doors.

I caught it later, but I was flashing back--in the zone.

I think Coker will be cheaper than we think. It won’t be for nothing but it won’t be super expensive. 
 

Still need a 3rd WR to add into the mix with Coker and McMillan. Would love it to be vet like Atwell or Shaheed

Coker is an exclusive rights free agent. That means the Panthers can resign him for the league minimum and he has no choice but to take it or just sit out and refuse to play football.

I think he has earned the right to make a little $$. Should still be a cheap, easy sign, but trying to big dog him into league minimum is disrespectful from my POV.

I'm always the "give them a chance guy" but XL is about done. Coker needs to be the permanent #2 and we should still add another pass catcher this off-season.

I wonder what we could realistically get in trade (insert 1/2 a bag of chips joke here). He's a big guy with speed who's a good blocker. Athleticism and 5th year option could get us a 5th??? If someone offers a 5th, I'd jump all over it. 

I also think on day 3 of the draft. a WR, RB, OL & DL guy should be on the big board. EVERY YEAR.

Of course he would sit out. It’s not worth risking an injury to play on the league minimum salary for him at this point in his career with the tape he’s put out. 

they either extend him for something reasonable or trade him.
