I've been surprised by the number of fans who don't think he will even make the roster this year.

He's on the bubble. Someone is going to be the odd man out unless Carolina keeps 7 WR. I figure we have Smitty, Lafell, Hixon, and Ginn as locks and the rest will compete for two spots.

Odd men out are Armanti Edwards and Joe Adams.

Edit: Add Gettis to that list too. Him and Adams were drafted by Hurney and are in Rivera's dog house.

I think many huddlers on here would agree with me that Gettis is a better receiver than Lafail.

Put your name on it then. Make a thread with a poll option on who is a better receiver.

Surely the thread will go over well if you are so confident in your opinion right?

Oh. My. God. You are on an absolute roll of idiocy today.

Pilares has actually contributed and would have a lot more if not for getting injured.

All Joe Adams has done is fumble every chance he gets. As for Armanti, seriously???

 

Contributed on what?

Returning kicks, yes. Offense, no.

 

Addition of Ginn pretty much killed Pilares chances on this team.

Fans like you gets carried away by "one" play. Pilares had an open lane easy walk TD vs Atl, and yall act like he's the next Victor cruz. Pilares is nothing but a straight line runner. His former college teammate "Greg Salas" 10x better than Pilares and the man is struggling to find a team (excluding injuries). You mind as well say that AE is a contributor bc the last time I saw him played, he caught a 82 yarder vs. Washington. Adams is much safer than Pilares, AE, and Gettis.

Lmfao. Yes Armanti Edwards lone touchdown reception in his 3 year career solidified his spot.

Oh and don't speak so quickly on Ginn, 49ers fans said the same thing just a few years ago.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
