My computer has been down and today was the first day that I have been able to look at information on the players we drafted I found a very interesting article on Kealoha Pilares that was wrote before the draft.

Here is the Article

It pretty much says that he is the biggest WR steal of the draft and compares him to Harvin and Garcon using some formulas that they have used to determine how good players are.

I think this guy could end up being Steve Smiths replacement.

Already said he was my "surprise player" for the 2011 season. I'm very happy (but was extremely shocked when we drafted him-never heard of him, so I won't pretend like I know him). But after all the articles basically refuting the lack of effort put into scouting reports by the "experts" where they state his injury risk, lack of speed, hands etc. Then you have the guys who actually go in depth and post real info, it's become even more encouraging to support him.

I was shocked as well when we drafted him. Considering we just drafted three WRS last year and two of them played very well for the situation they was in. I think AE will be cut with a quickness if Pilares can prove himself. I dont think Pilares has the ability to make a difference in the return game which might be the only reason to keep AE. We have been trying to find a player to replace Steve Smith for a while, it started with Ryne Robinson which injuries ended his career, we drafted AE hoping to covert him into a speedy WR like Smith but the verdict is still out on him, I think eventually we are due to find his replacement and I can see this guy being the one. Maybe Smith will stay a year and we can use him to teach Pilares to become a great WR. If Smith does leave I feel Pilares or Edwards will step up and become his replacement.

I don't see Edwards being cut. Like people have pointed out before, gone are the days where we carry only 3 WRs on the game day roster. I think at least 5 WRs, maybe 6 make our 53 man roster this year.

The oddman out in a situation like that will be guys like Tyrell Sutton. We'll probably carry only 3 RBs on the roster now.

Nah T-Sutt is safe. He is a baller. Remember teams were trying to trade for him last season.

It was a rumor created by the Huddle. I never say any definitive sources.

I sincerely doubt we carry as many RBs as we have in the past.

Sut plays some FB and is a very good runner. He isn't going anywhere.

Plus, I don't think the rumor was started by the Huddle. I seem to recall Gnatt reporting that Green Bay was trying to trade to get him back.

We're not playing "Fox Ball" anymore. We won't be running the ball 75% out of the I formation. So there won't be a need for 5 RBs and 2 FBs.

I bet we'll be running a lot of the single back formation or the shotgun with at least three wide.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.

      Self described anti-Bryce dude wants us to fail to take a major step forward     Yeah that lines up.
