Don't forget, just because we MIGHT get him, we still need a ST supporting cast around him to make holes. But I agree, his addition does help.

Yeah, but it's kind of the chicken or the egg thing... Was it poor returners or poor blocking? I say it was the return men. Very few of our guys have had the speed and/or quickness to break the returns when they were there. Look at how many punts or kicks Armanti could've returned but didn't because he lacked the speed to finish them.

adams is going into just his 2nd year. more interested in seeing what he's got than pilares at this point. also, adams ceiling is higher...a lot higher than pilares. that said, if we cut loose adams, i wouldn't be all that upset.

I guess it just comes down to when is the right time to give up? AE has been decaying on this roster long enough, we all know that. I just don't want to get rid of guys who may not have had the proper opportunity. Pilares hasn't seen substantial time at WR. Adams could come around, he was only a rookie.

You can use Ted Ginn Jr as an example of this.

maybe should have left it somewhere else?

too grainy. too much work to watch. couldn't get past 20 seconds.

so i don't have to watch it, what was the point of it? pro-ginn or anti-ginn?

yea sorry the quality is poo for the first minute or 2... it gets better, but you can still tell which pixels are ginn. Its all their biggest plays in college so its pro-ginn. To me ginn just has that track mentality in the open field and its awesome to watch.

i've just never seen anything from pilares that at best suggests anything more than an average receiver. very low ceiling. i'm not sure what more opportunity would reveal.

nothing against the guy, i just don't think he'd be very difficult to replace.

Fair enough. Either way the position should and will be addressed in this draft, hopefully we win big.

i'm hoping for a huge turnover. by the time we roll into next season my hope is that we have only 2 or 3 WRs returning from last year with the others replaced by FAs and draft picks and i definitely want one drafted in the first or second round.

Can't argue with that. Worth mentioning this should be a make or break year for Lafell too.

agreed. 2013 is the last year of his contract. he either turns into moose or we cut him loose.

we need to act this year like it's smitty's last and/or lafell won't be back.

we can't count on both of those guys being here after next year.

That's such a scary thought

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
