Keenan Allen is potentially the most pro ready receiver in this class. IMO, you'll known after his rookie year whether or not he'll be a good pro player, he's that ready.

He's got good size. Great hands. Excellent route-running ability. He can play outside, but he also worked in the slot a lot, and is great in the middle. His primary defect for me is overall athleticism, he's not a burner. But at the same time, he's not molasses. He's probably a 4.5 guy.

Overall, I'd take him although if we're going receiver in the first, due to depth I'd prefer to trade back a few spots if possible. He's not a dynamic playmaker per se, but he's a guy you can feed the ball consistently and have little doubt where he can handle it. He reminds of guys like Brandon Marshall, Marques Colston and Dwayne Bowe. I feel if we took him, we'd have a great, reliable receiver for the rest of Cam's career.

4.5 is fast...lol :phew:

4.2-4.3 is fast.......4.4 is avg speed........4.5-4.9 is considered SLOW for NFL guys, especially running backs and wide outs.

4.5 is not slow, it's average (and in turn, 4.4 is considered speedy). You generally only start getting considered slow in the 4.6 range.

Yeah people lose that Fact when they have SPEED SPEED SPEED on the brain.

They also don't notice that most of the Hall Fame WR weren't speed demons.

Chris Carter

Art Monk

Steve Largent

Marvin Harrison

Weren't all that fast.

Not sure about the others, but Harrison ran a 4.38 so your arguement is wayyyyy off. Also, corners are much more athletic now then they were in the era of the first 3.

Low 4.5 is avg. High 4.5 is considered below avg.

4.3 and lower are elite speed. 4.4 is good speed. But what people seem to miss is the speed demon guy bust out a lot more then the avg. To below avg. Speed but good route runner guys.

Show a link to that please. I've never seen Harrison have a 4.3 timed speed.

Harrison, who ran a blistering 4.38 in the 40-yard dash as a senior, was the 19th overall pick in 1996, part of the greatest wide receiver class in history, led by the No. 1 pick, Keyshawn Johnson. “If he were as outgoing and vocal as Keyshawn, he’d be in every magazine and every front page,” said Gil Brandt, the former vice president for player personnel of the Dallas Cowboys who is now an analyst for NFL.com.

BOOOM

      Tepper Era Strikes Again!

      So what about their sign is not compliant or causing the issue according to the rules? Them always having it, or the amount of time they have had it, or their loyalty to the team is not relevant to this situation. To be clear, I know next to nothing about this situation, just trying to clarify.  I have no dog in this fight and am emotionless on this topic. If you are breaking a rule, you do not get special treatment just because you have been here breaking it a long time.

      The team fell for that late season averageness he displayed last year and got burned. You want to do that again? I don’t.  But I sort of do agree that we are stuck with him as the starter.  I can’t decide whether replacing him gets us into the playoffs so suffering through one last season is the price for freedom in 2026.  Three ways to be free in 2026: He actually plays like a real NFL QB,  The team sends him packing. Be completely out on tne Panthers until changes are made.

      Short version = these people have had those seats since the beginning and haven't missed a game. They have always had their sign. They had to change the sign - I think in 2015 when Cam ripped that Packers fan's banner down (love him for that, by the way) - to be compliant and haven't had any issues in the last 10 years. The Panthers even used a photo of them and their sign in their album from the Falcons game. In the 3rd quarter last weekend it was decided that the sign needed to come down. Seems weird and unnecessary, especially since it has been there for every game for a decade.   EDIT: they've had it since 2003. Still a long-ass time.... Also "cringe" is a funny word for someone over the age of 18 who lives and overshares on the Huddle. But, ok....
