Yeah, he needs to be developed, I know he only played one year, He has a lot of criticism, the criticism and doubt reminds me of the same criticism and doubt that surrounded Cam in 2010. I think we can fill the DT, OL, and other needs in the free agency and the rest of the draft. Our defense was developing very well last year, Cam needs a WR like this and the Panthers need it long term for when the day comes that Steve can't be Steve anymore.

playmakers and multi-threat players like him make the players around him better because defenses always have to be accounting for him. it would be like having a dual threat WR to go along with your dual threat QB. how could that be a bad thing?

and then add in that we'd have a legit return man....which we don't have.

and for the next few years he'd absolutely be doing returns. guys with his skill set you find as many ways to get the ball in his hands as possible.

the more I think about it, the more I'm on board with taking this guy in the first

yep. my discussions have been more just to talk about why he shouldn't be ruled out in the first or really just WR, tbh. i wasn't any more sold on him or WR than safety, DT, or OL, but the more I've looked at him, the more i like this idea. he'd be a huge pick up for us. i just don't see him lasting till 14 so none of it really matters, tho. just as long as we dont ignore WR again and pick one up in the first couple rounds or pick up a solid WR in FA (but I'd still us rather address OL and DT in FA).

my hope has been all along some combo of FS and WR in the first couple rounds. right now my favorite pick is patterson in the first.

I still want to get a young DT and Olinemen out of this deep class no matter what we do in FA.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By bythenbrs · Posted

      In another post, Snow says about three years before you can properly grade a rookie class.  Sounds about right…

      And this reiterates why I don’t want a Young contract extension. Please let us find another QB.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By TD alt · Posted

      Oh, the high expectations after a draft. Keep your expectations low, people. Darin Gantt's latest "Ask The Old Guy" gives life to one of those lessons about pro football reality as a fan: "Rasheed Walker was a three-year starter at left tackle for the Packers, so Freeling is going to have to work. Hunter's got another big 'un in front of him in Bobby Brown III and a different kind of defensive tackle in Tershawn Wharton. Chris Brazzell II's got a lot of traffic at his position. Zakee Wheatley has to be better than the chronically underappreciated Nick Scott, and Sam Hecht is a fifth-round rookie at the hardest position on the line to play, who probably doesn't have immediate positional flexibility, and a solid free agent addition in Luke Fortner in front of him. "Fans generally love their draft class as soon as it arrives, because there is no evidence to the contrary yet. Once guys get on the field, the reality begins to creep in, and the seasoned among you remember that if you get three or four good players out of a draft, that was an amazing draft." https://www.panthers.com/news/ask-the-old-guy-things-looking-up-after-the-draft-monroe-freeling-luke-kuechly-bryce-young-derrick-brown Don't get crazy. Winning the draft (or the offseason BTW) on paper always leads to good feelings and great expectations, especially when you seemingly succeeded the season before, but let's remember that the Panthers are very much a work in progress. Team building takes time. If we get a couple of starters out of the draft, it's a good draft, but three or four would be an amazing draft, and anything more than that is actually sensational--even if entails a few multiple high end rotational players along with three starters. Moreover, kind of within that same vein, the coaches have to let the kids off the chain. Remember the coach-speak of past coaches about competition that is anything but because coaches have their notions about veteran experience? Not saying that they're necessarily wrong, but sometimes I think their reluctance to put the young guys out there is based somewhat in dogma or possibly fear because big stakes are on the line (e.g., their jobs). It can be frustrating to say the least, but the coaches are supposed to know best. Again, I say all of this so that we can remember to temper expectations and keep them within the realm of reality. It's like telling your mind to think of it as something akin to under-promising and over-delivering. Leave room to be pleasantly surprised for the best case scenario, but be cognizant that that rarely happens. I would think at this point, most of us should be able to recognize growth when we see it, and sometimes that growth doesn't manifest itself in the form of immediate supremacy, but a setting of the stage for long term dominance for years to come. It seems like we're on track for an emergence by 2028 or 2029. We still have huge questions, but by 2029, hopefully we will take our seat at the table of the perennial contenders in the NFL.
