Fiz, what makes you think I give a fug what some byproduct of inbreeding has to say about my threads?

First, it'd be a product, not a byproduct. birth would be the goal of breeding, not a secondary effect. the byproduct of me being born from incest would occur 25 years later, when a fat, diabetic 42 year old using a gateway laptop in a mcdonalds bathroom gets humiliated once again on the internet by someone named Fiz.

Second, you obviously care because you responded.

Third, if I don't make you caution to post, what about the rest of the board, who collectively groan every time they see your name come up at the top of the page?

We didn't want to break the laws of physics. Two Steve Smith's cannot occupy the same space without the space-time continuum imploding.

I am not sure we need to go outside the organization to replace Gettis. Just last week we brought in Naanee because nobody had stepped up at the #2. Frankly, Naanee seems to be a steal to me; I think he will do better away from the WRs in SD.

Lafell needs to catch the damn ball. But Armanti and Pilares are having impressive camps. I see a dropoff in the deep threat opposite Smith, but do not forget we have a TE who is a deep threat. Naanee has better hands than Gettis and Lafell, gets better body position, and is a better blocker (than Gettis). Not too much of a drop off in talent, just a different skill set.

Save your draft picks, Hurney. If you make a trade, do it for a CB.

if this is true, then it's just more fuel to the fire that they're going to start cam week 1.

You don't go out to replace your only real straight line burner if you're going to start Jimmy Clausen.

Deep 1 routes are relatively safe (throw it where only the receiver can grab it) and Cam has the strongest arm on the team.

Remember Chud's system... play action passes and deep balls. A deep option is a must even for Jimmy in this system. Jimmy is going to have to learn to throw the deep ball or its over for him as long as Chud is here.

    • Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart
    • Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.  
    • Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
