OK, it's a little early but I'm not so sure we need Hixon. And, how 'bout Gettis?

[top dawg]

I am thinking that AE, Adams, Ginn, and/or Gettis (yes, Gettis) may be able to do what Hixon can do, and possibly do it better.  The receiving corps looked pretty damned solid. AE looks very game.

 

Gettis was actually somewhat impressive out there to my surprise, and after actually seeing him in a game, in my opinion it's too early to throw dirt on him. 

[TheRumGone]

don't sleep on hixon. he is similar to lafell. ginn looked very unimpressive....lots of miscommunication on routes.

[xtheronx]

Pilares held his own also! Our WR corp looked decent ..

[Proudiddy]

Hixon is severely overrated by this board, going off of what he did previously. Everyone has been writing Gettis off b/c of him, yet his numbers at best were only as good as Gettis' rookie season. Not to mention, Hixon is older and has been extremely injury prone throughout his career.

Too early to tell.

[Jakob]

WR's are stepping up. Josh Norman OUTTA NOWHERE? All of the positions we were hurting at LOOK GREAT. IS THIS A DREAM?

watch some games with him. he has made plays getis has never made. he may be injury prone,  but so is gettis.

lafell

ae

I just like the fact that Gettis showed up when the lights came on, hopefully he keeps it up I'm really pulling for him and want him to make the team.

Yeah, everything we heard out of camp wasn't good at all, but Gettis obviously wants to remain a Panther.

I feel like Joe Adams is going to make the team just from the punt returning position. Then, if he ever learns to hold onto the ball, he could really learn a lot from Smitty. Smaller guy, punt returner, has already been on the quick screen passes, etc.

 

I feel like our receivers go:

 

Smitty

LaFell

AE

Ginn

Hixon

Adams

 

Leaving Gettis and Pilares on the outside, looking in. Sure, Gettis had a very good game tonight, but he was playing against third string CBs. I'm hoping for the best from the guy, but right now I feel like he's on the outside. That could all change during the course of the next three preseason games, though.

[PhillyB]

at the moment i'd take hixon over gettis.

Backup returner will be tough to make with Barner on the squad.  Gettis or Adams need to make their case running routes and making solid hand catches.

In what world did Pilares hold his own? Completely uninspiring KR return as usual, straight ahead at average speed into the first gunner. As a WR he had 1 easy catch and one slant where he completely blew it and wasn't even paying attention to the ball as it zipped right by him.
