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.

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.

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.

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction

      Better than a fragile starter, though
