The SD board on Scout is pretty pissed Tutu was released, several think it was a big mistake and saw him as their eventual 1.

It would be awesome if he could end up being ours and it is very possible with Smith getting old and lack of talent behind him. I hope Ron will use our receivers the most effective way possible and not pull a John Fox and always use favorites over talent.

Think I'll start a thread there asking about Legs, Tutu and Jamaal Williams, see what I can get out of them.

isn't there already?

I didn't know Ajirotutu was a rookie last year. I thought this was his third or 4th year. Given the fact he was only a rookie last year I think this kid has a good chance of developing into our best receiver once Smith is gone.

Yeah, but a little perspective - reality check.

1) SD fans are worried 'bout VJack leaving after the year - probable.

But even he was 4-5 years in the making. Seyi is "starting" his second yr.

Look for him to contribute mostly on special teams this year.

2) Seyi would have never left the practice squad last year, if not for all the injuries and VJack holdout. Philip completed passes to "17" different players last year. He made a lot of "them" look good.

3) Philip Rivers. Whatever you think about him, he really is that good. Plus, he's been in the league for seven years. Everything you got rests on the shoulders of Cam Newton.

Accuracy, poise - it's gotta develop.

4) Ajirotutu was scalding the Texans - the worst pass defense in the league last year. Maybe, the last 20 years. They were awful.

Overall, Seyi deserves a roster spot, somewhere, but he has got a lot to learn.

Still he is young and talented and a good get for ya'll.

I was about to make a thread about these SD Wide receivers we have been getting. I know they already have played in the offense we run but how good are they without Rivers? Both Naanee and Ajirotutu have good stats considering the playing time they received and being buried in the depth chart but is Rivers the reason why their stats are that good? are their stats inflated? can they produce without Rivers? I have a lot of faith in Ajirotutu but he could be a product of a great QB.

Buried in the depth chart - LA started in VJack's absence start of season and Ajirotutu was an undrafted free agent on the practice squad this time last year. Neither played enough to accumulate any "stats" for the year. But yes, Rivers does make a "huge" difference. And these guys experience with Philip can only help Cam grow and mature. Again, it all depends on your quarterback. He's got to deliver.

I can't say that, SO FAR, even the Nanee signing gives me a lot of confidence in Rivera's evaluation of WRs. I did not see him running crisp routes or getting much separation during pre-season. Maybe that will change during the regular season? This guys sounds intriguing, but I don't care how tall or fast the guy is...I just care that he can 'produce' on the field. We will see.

I think Naanee was brought in to be more of a goal line threat if the tight ends are covered. He doesn't seem fast or that good of a route runner, but he's big enough (and hopefully has the hands) to be a goal line threat.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By poorboysrev · Posted

      Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
