Yeah, so I'm starting a new one.

With Gettis returning, how do you all think the WR/TE picture will shake out next season. Personally, I'd like to see:

WR

Steve Smith

Brandon LaFell

David Gettis

Legedu Naanee

Kealoha Pilares

Armanti Edwards (Maybe)

TE

Greg Olsen

Jeremy Shockey

Gary Barnidge

Armanti is a maybe for me. If he makes progress as a returner or as a receiver this offseason, keep him. If not, part ways ASAP cause he's just eating cap space for nothing.

Lafell, Pilaries, and Smith will be the only WR left on team. Gettis will have to prove his worth again. I see carolina going out and getting a free agent wr, spend the draft on defense and an ot. With Cam rushing/passing the ball so well, both deangelo and stewart become trade bate. Stewie seams to run the screen more so so I forsee deangelo being traded. Things are going to get very crazy in the off season resulting in a Superbowl run in 2012.

There are two questions irt Gettis.

1. Will he be able to return at 100% next year. I was listening to one of the local sports medicine doctors associated with Wake Forest a few months ago, and he said it can take as long as 2 years to recover fully from an ACL injury. So its not a certaintity that Gettis will be at 100% next year. If he doesn't, then I feel ok with Smith/Lafell/LN/Gettis (in a part time role), but it means we might have to look at a future replacement for Smith in case Gettis doesn't pan out.

2. If he does come back at 100%, will he actually be as good as we think or hope. Only playing time will answer that question.

To answer your question, my belief is that the receiver picture will look much the same next year as it does this year, but with Gettis being worked into the lineup, proably at the expense of Nanee.

Regarding the Tight ends, I am not sure if we will sign Shockey again. He has been great this year, but with Olsen in the fold, the staff might decide to see what they have in Barnidge.

Gettis's straight line speed will probably be unaffected when he comes back, but his ability to stop and start and make cuts on a slant may be diminished the first year.
This is true. My Dad had an ACL replacement. It needed months to really settle in there good, but a year later it was like it never happened. But he wasn't running receiver routes XD.

This fine young male ass board won't let me start a thread, this seems like a good spot for this.

Goodson hasn't sniffed the field all year. I understand that Williams and Stewart have the position on lock down, but there is room for a third back to get a few snaps. I feel like he is not well liked by the coaching staff. I believe this is his third year, is he a free agent in the offseason? I am assuming he'll bounce if that is the case.

Do research before opening your mouth and letting so much stupid spew out.

Scroll to the bottom to the area titled "Injured Reserve"

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Icege · Posted

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that like to use their own eyes: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.

      Shaq Thompson Remains a Free Agent

      By MHS831 · Posted

      For a LB that is a long career.  They take a beating.  Shoulders and head.  My favorite LB of All Time--Junior Seau--had a 20-year career--the average career for a STARTING MLB is 5.6 years.  I really think Shaq is done, but if he can play, it does not mean that he should.   Think about Morgan's career--7 seasons.  Luke's career--8 seasons.  Beason played only 93 games over 10 years--only 5 seasons where he played 15 games or more.  The other 5 seasons?  No more than 5 games per.  So basically, the average starting MLB plays 90 games in his career.  Shaq has played 123 games and was pretty injury free until the last 2 seasons (6 games total).
