It's sad that some people only see Adams as a return specialist even though he was solid receiver in college, had quickness that made him difficult to catch, and wasn't afraid of running across the middle of the field. I want Adams to focus on giving us some good field position, but I would hate if we didn't try implementing his skillset into this offense.

I know Gettis is a board favorite based on flashes in 2010 but he has not played in, well, a long long time. Perspective: Armanti Edwards, Gettis and I had the same number of receptions last year. That said he has potential but I don't want to artificially inflate expectations.

Flashes in 2010? He had Moore/Clausen as the QB's and managed to look like a solid #2 as a rookie.

I'm on my phone and was in a bad cvg area, so it submitted twice because I was impatient.

For me it's one of those things where they have a small guy like Captain playing nickel then I prefer Murphy, Gettis but if it's a bigger, less agile CB then I think you go to Pilares or Joe Adams. OR, throw Murphy outside, bring Smith to the slot as a lot of CB's only play outside.

If they leave the LB in, then choose whomever.

Also, I find it interesting that Joe Adams hasn't been targeted for a pass in the preseason so far. Are we planning on solely using him at PR this year?

I think they have been trying hard to identify a red zone threat. That's why Tutu is getting so many looks, and probably why they went after Murphy.

Adams is an exciting young player, but Smitty and Pilares give us much of what Adams probably will. He may not see many looks at WR this year, much like Pilares didn't get many last year.

Smitty

LaFell

Murphy/Pilares

Adams

Gettis

Although Gettis wowed me in '10, he's done nothing in this new offense to warrant a roster spot. People are hating on Hogan for not being healthy, but Gettis seems to get a free pass. I hope he comes back to form, but you must remember, both Gettis and LaFell were in Rivera's doghouse last offseason, and at least LaFell was able to earn his way out of it...and even that took well into the season for him to unseat Legatron.

None of us really know Gettis' work ethic. For all we know, he's a player who felt like he "arrived" based off of 2010...and that's something RR doesn't stand for. I'll admit, this is pure speculation, but RR's comments on LaFell and Gettis last offseason were unfavorable and salty. If Gettis doesn't find himself healthy soon, he might go the way of Otah (minus the trade drama)...

i see the pecking order for targets/catches being

smitty

lafell

olsen

tolbert

stewart

i just don't see much after that. i can't see much more than maybe 100-150 yards and a score or two from any actual WR than smith and lafell mainly because of the competition for targets between guys at other positions. between those 5 i listed and maybe williams i see 18-20 catches per game and i just can't see more than a couple more receptions added to that per game.

i can see a committee approach to the WR3, but even if one guy won it straight out i don't see him being much of a factor.

If we're talking about a pecking order, then I would go with Olsen as the second option.

Smith

Olsen/Barnidge

LaFell

Various RB

Murphy/Pilares

Whomever else is left

i could go either way on that one. i don't think there will be a whole lot of difference in the number of catches and TDs, tbh. lafell will probably have more yardage but that's got more to do with situations they are asked to catch in.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By Panthero · Posted

      Given that the immediate impact we need at edge. We almost certainly address that in Free agency, not in the draft. Same with Linebacker, unless Styles or Allen is still there at 19. I think the same for OT.  What is the position that we could draft in the 1st round and get immediate help in the first is how im approaching their decision-making  I know ill get dragged for this, but im thinking they go DT in the first. A guy that can play right away and be a complement to D.Brown to wreak havoc at the LOS.   So unless a top tier LB is there, I think DT will be the move.

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      I think people forget that by his last season Steve Smith had the ass and he played like it - and for no really good reason other than that other stars were emerging on the team and he didn't want to share the spot light.  He was more of a locker room distraction than he was worth. He went on to have great performances with the Ravens' but G-man made the right move allowing him to move on from here.  I personally think it was addition by subtraction and we don't have a super bowl run with Smith on the roster. Steve Smith remains a narcissist who I've never seen internalize his own culpability when it comes to his relationships with others - it's always somebody else's fault as to why he was forced to act like an asshole. This video is a product ad.  I'm cringed that either of these two Panther greats are party to it.

      I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.
