it's definitely something any trade partners are going to consider

true, and it's only going to get worse. the sooner we move him, the better off we are. value isn't ever going to be higher than it is right now.

The chargers passing attack has never had a steve smith.

They use big receivers that are no faster than gettis and lafell.

Big receivers with good hands, good body control, a dominating TE, and a running game.

I'm not say we will be a clone of the chargers offense (even though others believe we will), we don't have to have steve smith. I do think we should retain him though.

Even when steve smith is gone, the panthers aren't going togo find another steve smith. They'll find another big receiver with good body control, good hands, fast enough to be a deep threat.

Bottom line guys, everything surrounding Cam must be perfect for us to judge him fairly, even if Moore and Clausen were not afforded that same luxury.

If it's too windy out (excuse has been used here), we should give him a pass no matter what his play looks like.

Everything was Clausen and Moore's fault, nothing will be Cams.

Get used to it.

I think it would be foolish not to take advantage of what could be a very good FA pool.

When i look at the list of FA's a couple guys i think would help us are.

Jacoby Jones- Has played in the shadow of AJ but could step out.

James Jones- No relation. GB knows WR's. JJ could become a number 1 WR.

Malcom Floyd- VJax is more of a priority and the Chargers could be satisfied with a trade. Ding ding. Smith and Dan Connor for Floyd.

lol I hope that trade proposal of Steve Smith and Dan Connor for Floyd was just a joke.

Actually I really like all the guys we have at WR. I think LaFell and Gettis will both be main targets for us eventually. Pilares seems like an all around solid player. I'm really eager to see what AE can bring to the table. He is so quick and fast, if he could hone his skills as a WR he could be a very dangerous player.

Honestly, I hope Gettis, and LaFell (and the huge question mark that is Edwards) kind of gel into a larger threat, with neither of them really becoming the #1.

I'm hoping that all of these guys grow into threats that won't allow defenses to single out a single guy for their top corner or double teams. Truth is, I'd rather have 2 or 3 guys that are all capable, if not above average players, than have 1 superstar and not much else.

I say all this assuming we do not have Steve Smith for the 2011 season, which is not something we can really even make educated guesses on at this point.

I like you. Couldn't have said it better. I just wonder what all the cam supporters will do or say if he doesn't produce and they start him from game one? Will they cry out and say he needs another year? That rookie seasons can't be used to measure Newton? I mean that want done to Clausen right? All that was needed was 10 games? Next year should be fun. If newton flat out fails people will have excuses ready. Which I don't believe is fair. People should be just as hard on newton as they were on Clausen.

The fans weren't hard on Moore or Clausen. The front office was. They have given up on those two and moved on. Probably for good reason as they know them better than any of us could.

Well I'm talking with experience, I attended two games last year. The Niners and cardinals game. People in the stands were crucifying Moore and Clausen. Berry other word I hard was that of a fan that was being harsh. All I'm saying is that this fan base is quick to give up. QBs need at least two years. Look at freeman. If the buccs gave up on him the first season, and drafted another QB where would they be? I realize that its hard to determine where they would be but I'm willing to say they'd still be searching for that franchise QB. If newton fails and we draft yet another QB I'm calling for Hurneys head..

      I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different. Because again, I'm not assuming major injuries or games missed when I'm putting expectations out there for the season, I'm assuming good health.  If those other 3 WRs combine to miss a lot of time, then yes, he needs to get to 1k in that scenario.

      Last year Thielen had 615 yards in 10 games (had more ypg than his 1k season in 23).  XL had 497 in 16 games with tons of drops and Coker had 478 in 11. They also only had only 192 of our 518 targets to get those numbers. So if Thielen has 1,000 yards again, XL and Coker each improve to say 600 yards each, and T-Mac comes in at 800 yards, you're going to say that's not good enough?  Especially if he ends up with close to, if not getting to, double digit TD's like I think he will, as he's going to be a red zone monster for Bryce? Because if that's the breakdown of just the Top 4 and Bryce plays all 17 games, he's going to be pushing a 4,000 yard season as the TEs, RBs, and other WRs will probably add up to 750-1k yards as well, and I think that would be far more than anyone here could be expecting of him this season. Last year the Giants only had 2 players with more than 331 yards besides Nabers and they were 699 and 573 while Nabers "only" had 1,200 yards (granted in 15 games).  While the Jags second leading receiving was a TE with 411 yards and BTJ also "only" had 1,282 but in all 17 games. Odunze couldn't get there (734 in 17 games) with Moore and Allen there, just as McConkey was able to get there because his competition for targets was Quentin Johnson (711 yards), Josh Palmer (584), and Will Dissly (481) who I think Thielen, XL, and Coker are all better than any of them. If everyone stays healthy and XL/Coker have improved, I think Bryce is going to spread the ball around rather than focus on T-Mac in a way that most of the 1k rookies have been able to get. Again I point to MHJ and the Cardinals last year. They had 3,859 yards receiving.   McBride had 1,146, MHJ had 885, then their 3rd and 4th in rec yards were 548 and 414. Take the 146 and 85 that McBride/MHJ had over my example for our guys and give them to the other two and they get to 7 yards shy of the 1,200 combined yards I'm using for XL/Coker, while the rest of the team added up to 866 yards. So, if you expect T-Mac to get to 1k, where are you taking those yards from? if anything, XL and Coker each getting 600 yards seems like a low projection, so they wouldn't come from there. Maybe they come from Thielen now that we have T-Mac as the true #1.  But I think if anything, having T-Mac draw attention will just make it easier for Thielen to get open and him and Bryce have great chemistry already, he's not going to stop throwing his way if he can pick up easy chunks of yards there. So maybe they come from the RBs, TEs, other WRs, but it's I think a very fair example to show why expecting 1,000 yards if everyone stays healthy isn't necessarily fair to him. It's also why I said I'd then expect at least 1,200 yards in 2026, as once Thielen leave and all 3 of T-Mac/XL/Coker get better, they absorb that 1,000 yards Thielen leaves behind with T-Mac probably taking close to half of it and the other two splitting up the other half.
