Schefter: Panthers Believe Lafell "poised For A Breakout"

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

i totally agree with Ponche above..

No need to address this this season...although having Smitty as a free agent is scary.

[Ivan The Awesome]

NO WR IS A #1 NEED DAMN IT! HOW DARE YOU SAY OUR WR ARE POISED FOR BREAK OUTS! AAAAAAAAARGH!

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Pilares has been a forgotten piece that could bring some dividens in 2012...

maybe by fans, definitely not by the coaching staff.

I've been saying for a while now that it would be retarded to take a WR in the first. There is no need. Neither Floyd or Blackmon will bring anything different from what we already have on the team. There could be value for a WR in the 4th or 5th though. But I want to see Pilares get more playing time and maybe even Adams.

Floyd > Blackman anyways. There's no reason to think we would trade up, especially not for a 5'11 receiver.

Agreed. Though I wouldn't be upset with adding talent at the WR if the FO decides to sink that 9 spot on a WR, I think it's just not a glaring need. But BPA usually prevails...

Crabtree isnt breaking any records on the West Coast. I feel they are very comparable..

Same school, Similar production, similar size and speed...Blackmon is a little more likable however..

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

Three times last season, LaFell went mega-clutch on a huge 3rd or 4th down play towards the end of the game, only to have the drive and game finish with a missed Mare field goal or a failed 4th and short within the 5 yard line.

I hate how the Panthers will forever believe that it's okay to draft 5'10" receivers simply because of Steve Smith.

I only think of Pilares as a special teamer. Hopefully, that changes, but meh.

Same school?

People are really underrating Blackmon. Not saying I'd trade up, that's dumb. We aren't in need of WR that badly. But I have the exact same feelings as Schefter, if he's there you have to consider him.

I just hope the Panthers don't overrate Blackman because of Mel Kiper and other ESPN douchebags.

I want them to consider both receivers equally, regardless of big boards, blogs, and tweets.

[Floppin]

Any GM/FO that rates their players based on Kiper or some other analyst asshat deserves to be fired.

Jerry Jones won't fire himself.
