He had a couple plays with Matt Moore and 1 with BSP....

He did nothing with Clausen. There was one WR highlight under Clausen and that went to LaFell....and he happens to be the guy who earned reps

I was basing it on the numbers--I liooked into this, and you have a good point.

As a rookie in 2010, Gettis had 37 receptions for 500+ yard and 3 TDs in 15 games--he started 13 of them. His biggest catch went for 88 yards.

Brandon Lafell had one more reception but nearly 100 fewer yards. He started 2 games. BIggest catch went for 44 yards.

HOWEVER: Gettis had 2 big games, 92 yards and over 100 yards in weeks 7 and 11 (SF, Baltimore, ironically) and Clausen did not play.

Clausen appeared in 13 games, most as the starter and threw for 1550 yards/

Moore appeared in 6 games and threw for a total of 850 yards.

LaFell actually had the most production when Jimmy was on the field...his game is just more diverse than Gettis IMO.

But as an unrelated note, I would argue LaFell had possibly the most impressive catch we have seen over 10, 11 and 12 that year with Jimmy. Was a one handed grab dive toward the sideline...it was something you would think only Smitty could do

I think that was the Cleveland game. Awesome grab.

It is official, Murphy and another Panthers cast-off, Conner.

Panthers receivers need an overhaul...whatever the are going to be, the ones on the roster already are...they have all had ample time to show their talent.....or not....as every down receivers in the NFL.

    • I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.  
    • I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
    • Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
