Darvin Adams

Recommended Posts

I was looking at the list of potential undrafted free agents and the one guy I kept going back to is Darvin Adams. I wonder if Carolina could possibly bring him in because of his connection with Newton and to have a target that Newton is fimiliar with.

Thoughts?

Yes. Why not he is a pretty good receiver and we can cut him if he sucks it up. I don't see how bringing him in hurts anything.

He needs to add more weight, and is extremely slow, Cam's faster than him and is two inches taller plus 60 more pounds than him.

i say no as well because i want us to bring in DeAndre Brown as a UDFA.

If this kid grows up, you are looking at a TO type player. He has the biggest upside. A leg injury and immaturity hurt him in the draft.

Worth a shot.

Unless Gettis is able to step up to a #1, I think adding youth at WR is just log-jamming the position. Brown, however, gives us the big WRs like they had in SD.

We are going to lose Steve Smith, howver. I feel about 75% sure of that.

I like Darvin Adams, but we really have enough young wideout's. If we want to give Cam help, then we need to give him another good option, plus adding another player that has the caliber to be a really good player; let's say Braylon Edwards, also sends the message to Steve Smith that this team is committed to winning now.

I say we sign Braylon, and keep 6 wideout's.

WR 1- Steve Smith, David Gettis

WR 2- Braylon Edwards, Brandon LaFell

Slot- Kealoha Pilares, Armanti Edwards

My Undrafted Free Agent Wish List (after Brown):

Mark Herzlich LB- I would groom him to play behind Beason, however, not on the outside. We are losing Connor (unless he becomes the starter at SLB), so we will need depth.

DeAndre McDaniel SS --We need a true SS and McDaniel will make an NFL roster. He seems to have overcome character issues (Mom has been arrested some 50 times).

Willie Smith, LOT- He is a former DT converted to LT. He has good athleticism, but is rough. Gross is 31 and we need depth there.

Noel Devine, RB- A small, quick alternative to what we already have at RB should DW leave. Sutton, Stewart, Goodson--nobody like Devine. ST consideration here.

Wes Saunders or Schuylar Oordt, TEs--Saunders is my preference, but either.

Martin Parker, DT- Has some upside as a 3 tech.

Deunta Williams SS-We need a true SS

DJ Young LOT--Second team all big 10 LT.

Adam Grant, David Mims--OT (I feel that we need tackle depth on both sides (Otah unhealthy, nobody behind 31-year old Gross), and I think drafting projects now could benefit the team later) Grant has good feet and hands, poor technique (LOT-fixable)-Mims is 6'8" 335 (RG, maybe RT).

Kai Forbath K--We need a K on the PS should Kasay realize he is old.

Jeffrey Maehl, WR--reminds me of Proehl.

    • Canales’ recipe for success is simple — slow the game down with long drives that keep the other team’s offense off the field. Long drives are built from short gains but short gains require more 3rd-down conversions.  The Panthers are converting 37.5% of their third downs, which is average but not enough. As a result, they have attempted 21 fourth downs — the most in the NFL — and they’ve converted 71.4% of them, ranking 3rd among teams with at least 15 attempts. The Chiefs are second @ 80% and the Colts are first at 88% but the majority of their conversions are short yardage runs - not passes.  The Panthers have had three big wins this season — against Miami, the Cowboys, and the Packers — those conversions have played a major role in each of those wins. Miami The Panthers trailed by 17 in the 2nd quarter, facing a 4th-and-5 at the Miami 48. Young threw a 21-yard completion and they went on to score 7 on that drive. Then in the 4th, down by 4, they faced another 4th-and-5 at the Miami 33. Young delivered a 17-yard completion for the 1st down and they went on to score the winning TD. Cowboys The game is tied and the Panthers take over at their own 14 with 6 minutes left. Rico picks up 16 yards and Young converts two 3rd downs, gaining 37 yards, but misses on a third conversion. At the Cowboys’ 40, facing a 4th-and-4 at the 2-minute mark — knowing the Cowboys likely score if they get the ball back — Canales has them go for it. Young converts with a 7-yard pass putting them at the 33 in FG range. They then go on to kicj the game winning FG. Packers Young was 2-for-2 on 4th-down attempts. Then on the final drive starting from their own 19 with the score tied, Young converts two 3rd downs for 19 yards and Rico adds another 19 to move them into field-goal range for the win. In total, Bryce went 2-for-4 on 3rd downs and 5-for-5 on 4th downs on critical plays in those games. When the Panthers needed 1 yard against the Packers on their own 41 early in the game, Canales went to Young. - not Rico. When they needed 4 yards to keep the drive going at the 2 minute mark against the Cowboys he went to Young. Those throws weren’t empty-yardage completions; they were high-pressure, must-convert moments that directly contributed to all three wins. I keep reading how the Panthers  are winning in spite of Young, that Canales doesn’t trust him and schemes around him. But these drives show the opposite: when the game is on the line, Canales has consistently put the ball in Young’s hands and Young has consistently produced in those moments.  Some people do well in normal situations but crumble under pressure. Others can be uneven in normal times but produce when the presure is greatest. The question is who would you rather have in the playoffs. More importantly, who do you think Canales and the FO would want?  
    • I think is worse news for Tremayne. They need special teams help with him questionable.  If T-Mac is down, XL, Coker, Horn, and Renfrow. No way Chisena gets meaningful snaps as WR, only on special teams.
