Stedman Bailey visiting Panthers today

To be honest? I like him more than Austin.

A bit stronger and runs better routes. Goes up and gets the ball and very physical.

I definitely feel like he's more than a slot guy. He's not going to be the flashy play maker Austin is but he's a very talented WR and I still see him making a ton of plays.

yep, like what i see :thumbsu:

trading back in the draft would be such a win win for us.

I'm generally a fan of trade downs, especially if you're not enamored with the choices at your spot.

Iffy on whether that happens this year though, or if it should. Got a feeling there will be some pretty good players available at pick 14, players we can use.

If you do wanna trade down of course, ya gotta have somebody wanting to trade up. Sometimes that's the big catch.

agreed and i fully understand.

I feel depth is more important atm. With the possibility of some legit playmakers still there at 14, someone might bite.

everything happens so fast in round one and who knows until then. im along for the ride and will prob change my mind a couple more times but as of now i see depth as a bigger need and I would like to see Gmaniac with a couple more picks in his pocket. :bbq:

Used to always wish we were one of those teams that stockpiled draft picks. I envy those teams.

Marty Hurney certainly loved to trade, but it was generally a straight swap of one kind or another. He didn't tend to go for extras.

Gettleman? Guess we'll see in three weeks.

Senior highlights

Could you be happy if we wound up with Bailey after Austin going ahead of our pick, or would you always put him in the "settled for the next best thing" category in your mind?

Or for that matter, how would you react if the Panthers did get a shot at Austin but passed on him for someone else and chose Bailey in a later round?

I actually would like the Panthers to trade down to a late 1st round pick and a get a 3rd round pick. Austin's great and all but in the end he is just one player and the team needs more picks. Then I would want them to pick up Bailey.

Now if they dont trade down and have the option to take Austin I would be pissed but used to it as the Panthers never draft a WVU that I like.

Bailey to me will be a good Slot WR and is going to be a player. Alot of teams will be kicking themselves for passing on him the years to come.

One other player from WVU I would like to see the Panthers take is Josh Jenkins OG. Should go in round 5 or 6. Great size only issue is knees.

Okay, so now I gotta wonder what it is you dislike about Austin :unsure:

I know he's undersized, but others his size have been successful and he's looked durable so far. What's got you turned off on him as a Panther?

    • I usually don’t get attached in that way to player issues. I mostly observe. Not gonna go into Cam and Jake because this is going to be long enough already.  I just was so against taking him because I looked at him pre draft - since it was made into such a major crossroads for the team with that trade. I could see right away it was a horrible mistake once Inlooked at his video. And couldn’t believe that pro people overlooked that stuff. Just unbelievable. Still is.  But even pre draft, and certainly post draft and camp… every time I said “hmm, have you guys seen this with his arm, with his footwork, the tippy toe drop back with the square to the line stuff, it all adds time to the play and how is that gonna work against actual NFL defenders? The margins are already so slim even for people with great arms etc etc” I was met with torrents of scorn and ‘processor” and ‘SEC is the NFL’ and everything else they were fed. People wouldn’t open their eyes they just were always telling me to find another team blah blah, idiot, all kinds of hateful poo. While I am being called the hater lol.  That made it bigger than him for me. Way bigger. But, I and all the naysayers have already been proven right. He was not worth the trade or his draft position. That is in the books. Now it is new goalposts. Can he even be salvaged? Was it worth building this offense around him just to save face over the investment? Is he worth the 5th year? The 4th year even? That is what is in doubt now.   
    • Why did Rod healthy scratch Nikishin??
    • Could have been worse than a 1 goal deficit
