The guy proved what he can do last year & was clutch at the end of Games so I don't really know why some of you are saying(espn also) saying we got no wrs other then Smitty cause its BS and I expect a big year out of Brandon & Gettis too for that matter.

because we haven't seen it. we've seen flashes (and i consider all of last year a flash potentially...see keary colbert) but so far caution is the flavor of the day in regards to WRs in carolina.

in the last 10-12 years how many solid WRs have we seen come up through the ranks here?

i think most hopes he works out but until we've seen continued success (for more than a year) most aren't believers.

Our WR corps is in doubt because these guys are people who arnt household names. If you're not an avid fan of Carolina or of any NFC south team, you probably won't know who LaFell is.

Once we have our prime time games, people and the media will come around an realize how good our offense really is.

I have doubts because he hasn't sustained a high level of play at the position. Last year he was good when he was getting targeted but he spent a good portion of the year sitting behind Leganono. He has potential, I doubt anyone would debate that. But anyone who looks at it logically would have doubts about his ability to string together multiple good seasons simply because he hasn't.

I suppose you could demand that everyone be an optimist / give him the benefit of the doubt / assume he will be able to...but this is the NFL. There are more guys who can't than those who can...so my default position is assuming they can't until I'm proven wrong.

If anything, the reason why he couldn't unseat Legadu last season is because he didn't know the playbook.. I think we all see that it might take LaFell a little longer than average to learn a playbook. I think he has all the athletic ability to become a very good WR. That said, I think Gettis has more athletic ability, and smarts, to become a #1 WR.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
