Anybody else interested in seeing what this kid can show us on Sunday with Smith sitting out? I know a lot of people on here think he's pure garbage, but I don't think he has problems that are impossible to fix or that he has zero potential. He's the biggest wide receiver we have on the roster, and I would really like to see if we can make him work out for us. I really wish he had brought down that TD catch against Houston. I think that would have changed some minds around here about his potential. What do you guys think? Am I alone on this?

That pass he dropped in Houston is the kind of play that I think we need help on though. I know Lafell has shown that he can go out to the corner in the redzone, but I feel that that element of our redzone offense is still lacking. If Lafell can improve in that role, then I guess we can just forget all of this, but I would really like to see us work on that aspect. More touchdowns isn't a bad thing. I think Tutu could be a redzone threat if he improves (yeah, I know), especially with Cam throwing the ball. If he gets cut though, it wouldn't think of it as an unreasonable move either.

No I don't want to see more of Tutu. I have much less patience for a veteran player trying to make a team. Like Murphy, he came in immediately and made an impact. Tutu is going on his 2nd year as a Panther and I've given up on waiting for him to make an impact. I want to see more of Lamont Bryant at 6'5" 225 lbs, Jared Green at 6'1" 180 lbs and Kealoha Pilares. I'd also like a look at our other WR's like: Wallace, Bersin and Avila, although I think that Avila is more of a returner, but I'd like to see what he can do in both situations. I think it would be wise if we could get a look at these guys before the 1st cut on the 27th, the day after our game.

The staff is slow to give up on him for the reasons pointed out by the OP. He is a nice, big, red zone target.

We all know Smitty is great, but he doesn't help us much down close. LaFell has shown a flash here and there (talking about the RZ here, not elsewhere on the field), and the same can be said for Olsen. None of these guys have proven to be reliable targets yet down close.

We have a great running game in the red zone, and that has kept this issue from coming to the forefront, but I'm sure Chud would salivate at having that one big reliable target to go to when the run defense stiffens.

His separation this year is not bad but he has dropped a couple of passes.I think this next game will be telling with Smith recovering.This week will be telling for all our wrs

Tutu has endless amounts of potential!

Think of him as a young T.O. without all the opportunities.

Not sure if his potential will pan out, but im perfectly fine seeing him with a lil more playing time in the games that don't count!

      Fire Rod

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      I agree that roster construction is a bigger issue than Rod.  I don't know what coach behind the bench is winning this series.  We weren't even supposed to compete this year, but people are mad because we're getting swept in the ECF again.  If we lost in 7 last round people wouldn't feel that way.

      And I won't even get into our forward lines... We have three legit forwards in aho, Svech, and Jarvis and a bunch of grinders. There is a reason why we have a hard time putting the puck in the net - nobody on this team knows how to shoot

      I was more inclined to say fire rod last year than this year. I still think we are lacking significant talent on this team. Without chatty, our defense has old man burns who is washed, ghostbear who is a one-way player, orlov who makes numerous awful turnovers each game, a solid walker, and slavin. I think we are all definitely mad that nikishin didn't play, but we weren't winning this game with them anyway. The entire team came out flat, which is inexcusable at home down a game. If rod couldn't fire them up, I don't think any coach in the NHL does.  Florida is the worst possible matchup for us because they play very similar to us but are better at doing it. It sucks we're going to get swept, but I honestly thought this team was a fringe at best playoff team once we traded away mikko
