Kealoha Pilares

And the evidence Armanti can is...?

Lol I didn't even say Armanti is a good WR I said he's more versatile and faster than Pilares which are both true. Neither one is an average receiever at this point.

if you wanna give a roster spot to a below average kickoff returner that can literally do nothing else thats your opinion i suppose. its a stupid one, though

KP is much more versatile than AE. He can play running back and WR... effectively.

I dont know how a kickoff return for 101 yds ends up being a "fluke." (It was a franchise record by the way.) I think it just reveals how crappy our special teams play really is. You do know that they have to block right?

Kealoha also caught a TD pass from D.A in the preseason last yeard against the Giants... but I guess since it was preseason, it was a fluke too.

Not saying he's the greatest WR on this team... but there is plenty of reason to keep him. He hasnt had much opportunity because of his size. (5'11 / 205)

Again I know everyone has been upset by our PR and KR, but its not all about the guy catching the ball. But the other 10 guys blocking as well.

it was a fluke because it was lucky return that had literally nothing to do with him. he ran a straight line down the field. he had a similar lucky break in another game and got run down by the kicker in a sprint

lol this guy

people are optomistic about a kick returner who can do something and a "Fan" has to be different by telling everyone they're wrong and he did it bad.

fug off.

most returns for TDs include a bit of luck, regardless whom is returning the ball.

I like Pilares and expect him to become a nice complementary player for us. He catches what's thrown to him in his limited chances and yes, he's fast when healthy.

Any comparison with Armanti is just silly. This is the NFL, not App St. What Armanti did in college no longer matters. He has done nada, zip, zilch in the pros.

    • Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once. 
    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
