As we are coming to 1st Cuts the most contested position has serious question to be answered.

 

IMO 2 WR (Smith and Lafell) are locks and 2 .5 are headed that way (Ginn, Gettis and Edwards).

 

I would have Edwards up here but this injury is putting him in Jeopardy. Lucky for him Adams, and Hixon are injured to.

 

But here are a few questioned I have about the WR position.

 

 

1. Will we carry 6 or 7 WR's?

 

2. Should Gettis now be the front runner for the 3rd WR spot?

 

3. Is Edwards still in the running for the 3rd WR spot?

 

4. Will Pilaris special team contribution on return and Coverage give him more value then Hixon and Adams?

 

5. Is Hixon a Gettelmen Guy?

 

6. What will weight more Hixon exp. and Regular season success  Edwards improvement and performance in TC or Adams potential and youth?

 

7. Who being injured right now is hurt more by not being on the field?

2. Should Gettis now be the front runner for the 3rd WR spot?  yes

 

3. Is Edwards still in the running for the 3rd WR spot? yes

 

4. Will Pilaris special team contribution on return and Coverage give him more value then Hixon and Adams? No, he is a goner

 

5. Is Hixon a Gettelmen Guy? I do not think so.  He was a vet min guy, signed when the Panthers thought they had nothing in Gettis and Edwards.  Times have changed.

 

6. What will weight more Hixon exp. and Regular season success  Edwards improvement and performance in TC or Adams potential and youth? I personally think Hixon will be relaeased. 

 

7. Who being injured right now is hurt more by not being on the field?  Kugbila, Hixon, and Stewart, in that order.

Adams is the guy hurt the most by being on the training table.

He has no real positive body of work to fall back on. He's quick, but not especially fast, and hasn't even sniffed any real looks at WR.

He may be a good candidate for one of those mystery IR's.

I think this game will tell us a lot.  I don't think we can decide based on these 2 games so far. I expect to see all of the receivers get some work with the first team.

 

55 with Edwards, Adams and Hixon not able to play in this game what happens and can you make a judgement?

I thought that Hixon was going to play.  I figure Adams is likely a casualty so the only guy who is going to be out  who would be in the mix is Edwards.

Diid Hixon have a set back??

Yeah Hixon had a set back. So him Edwards and Adams are not going to play Thursday. Making this even difficult to figure out.

If Hixon doesn't get any work in the preseason then it won't be hard to figure out.  I can't see keeping someone who missed the whole preseason. If Adams doesn't play what can you do but cut him.  Edwards will end up making it by process of elimination.

Then it comes down to the question.

 

What holds more value with this coaching staff and FO.

 

Hixon exp. and production in the regular season or Armanti being the TC MVP this year?

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?

 

My bet is we carry 2 QB's and & 7 WR's.

 

 

 

 

But then again....I am not the Shadow.

In the history of the Carolina Panthers, we have drafted and developed only 2 starting caliber WRs.  Smith and Muhammad, Donald Hayes had a couple ok seasons but he didn't make in the league for that long.  I would rather keep the young guys and try to coach them up than keep the walking injury that is on a 1-year deal.  Whatever we do, our WR core just stinks until we can successfully draft and develop talent.

The problem is everybody on a 1 year deal.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
