um, the fact that he plays for App State?

or that it's a Division I-AA school?

or that we invested the 33rd pick last year on Armanti Edwards in 2010?

He didn't play football until his senior year of high school. That's why he ended up at App State.

Also, Armanti didn't even play receiver there. Different situations.

Quick is a tough sob. He will eat defenders up. He got a very good body control for his size, better than Hill. You can't teach that in NFL. He runs very smooth routes and not afraid of getting hit. Also, notice on this highlight video he double-covered 90% of the time. He was double covered the whole year and still came up with over 2,000 yards receiving.

A lotta folks turn this off when they see WR because they are still stuck in Fox ball mode when 3 WRs was enough. Our WRs were on the field more than the rest of the division. THey run vertical routes. We need to rotate 4. Steve Smith will be 33, Gettis coming off injury--we could use a WR. Maybe not our biggest priority, and i think we will get one in the WR rich free agency because somebody will want to play with Cam.

And nobody knows how good Quick will be. I think he will be pretty good, but not for us. I see SF at the bottom of the second about as early as he will go. Just a guess.

We also use 2 TE that will get 80 rec between them. Add that to Lafell and Gettis who can get 40-50 each and the Rb gettting their catches. We have enough for a really good passing game. Stop getting all hung up on this WR poo.

Thanks for illustrating my point. I don't think your logic is sound. just because you proclaim the TEs to be adequate options, you miss the reason. Our 3 WRs were in the top 5 in the conference in snaps. We have a vertical offense, which causes our WRs to sprint about 30-40 yards on the average pass play. By the time Cam hits the fourth quarter, he has thrown 24-30 passes. There is no way we are running at 100% then. Look at the second half productivity. Our WRs were getting figured out for the most part. Fatigue is a factor during the game and toward the end of the season.

Besides, you seem confident that Steve Smith, a 5'9" speed WR will not hit the wall at 33. You seem confident that Gettis will be 100% and have progressed into a #2 WR. And everyone thinks that Lafell, with his mediocre (at best) numbers will be enough. You need to keep a WR or two in the development mode. They take time in each system.

I am not saying we need to draft a WR in the second--never have said that. However, to suggest that we are set at WR because we have TEs? Please.

      Canes vs Canadians Gm 3 Rd 3 8pm

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I was reading through the thread seeing if someone would mention this. This is exactly what the Canes are doing and Tripp Tracy alluded to it on the Spittin Chiclets podcast when he said Taylor Hall was our Sam Bennett. The Canes and Panthers have always played identical with the main difference being Florida toes the line between physical and dirty. The Canes have stepped up the physical play this year and are inching closer to that line of physical and dirty. If I’m being honest, as a Montreal fan I wouldn’t love the fact that the Canes seem to be targeting Hutson but as a Canes fan I love it because this is what you have to do in the playoffs. Unfortunately for Montreal they aren’t an overly physical team outside of Anderson and Xhekaj; only the Avs, Stars, and Sabres average less hits per game than Canadians in the playoffs. The Canadians can still make this a series if they stop playing scared and turning the puck over simply because they are getting elite goaltending while the Canes are getting average goaltending but if the Habs continue to play with the yips and either Andersen steps up or Dobes regresses then this series could end in five.
