The next Drew Carter...

[Peppermint9030]

Is David Gettis... Fast, tall, but I don't know if he's going to take that next step...IF he is like Drew Carter where he produces for 3 games, and only gets open because he is fast. Do you feel this Panthers regime will neglect improving the WR core like the old days? I hope we don't pass on some of the wr's in this draft because were getting him back next season, we can't be that dumb. I understand we drafted Jarret and signed Key, but we hung on to Colbert and Carter for way to long.

Rivera isn't that high on him, because he struggled a bit in camp.

I think him and LaFell could become a strong down the road combo while we find a really slot guy to groom and eventually succeed Smitty.

In the draft, I like Joe Adams.

He can be a runner/direct snap option. I think he's a better more flashy Brad Smith.

I think Gettis runs with more strength than Carter. But even if he just becomes another Drew Carter it doesn't mean he can't be useful to us. Drew Carter could go deep and stretch the field and produce 100 yd games every once in a while.

But I don't think that is going to happen. Carter always seemed like he was playing on his natural track talent. Gettis seems to have a burning desire to be a great WR.

You're comparing players in completely different offenses/mentalities/players. Shockey and Olsen didn't end up like Rosario did they? I have a feeling the offenses in the previous regime held guys back, as well as Jake just not being the type that makes receivers better.

This offense likes to use the talent it has and Gettis has deep speed to compliment Cam's pretty deep ball. Gettis showed some good stuff in a rookie season where we had no QB and the offenses were awful so I think he will pick up where he left off.

You know u done fuged up, thou shalt not doubt David Gettis on this forum.

Love how people just go ahead and assume things and correlate him to a guy he has nothing in common with.

[carolinarolls]

are all fast tall WR's Drew Carter?

I don' think so. I saw a different set of skills from David last year. Still plenty o eval to be done yet.

[unicar15]

Drew Carter was one of the worst receivers I've ever seen consistently stay on a football team. Gettis seems stronger to me and with better hands.

Let Gettis show what he can do with a QB who can throw a deep ball before judging him. In the small sample size he has had, he's proven productive. I don't think he will ever be a #1, but he can be a pretty good #2 IMO.

:lol: half this forum should be banned...

Way too early to make a judgment call on Gettis. Not only because he has only had on year with a crap QB at that, a sixth rounder who has only played one year and because he is coming off of an inury.

Replacements for Gettis and Davis need to be sought out. Lafell still looks to me like a poor man's #2. Next year we will know for sure on him.

Don't bet on Gettis, a 100% recovery while retaining the desire to play at a high level should not be expected. WR is the biggest need on offense if you think Otah is worth a poo.

Gettis gets to play with cam coming from Brian st Pierre, I think he'll be ok.

David Gettis is going to kick ass next season.
