I hope G-man leaves Nicks alone

I have been waiting for Nicks to show that he is a worthy big money receiver all season, but he hasn't. I have read commentary talking about his lack of ability to get separation anymore, and of course his drops. I wanted to give him the benefit of plenty of doubt, but after seeing the first nine games of the season---an adequate sample during a year where a lloming new contract should be providing plenty of motivation---I am highly skeptical that he can ever be a consistent impact WR, much less our WR1.  His play is not worth the money that will need to be paid, or the sacrifices that will have to be made in order to acquire his services.

Our receiving corp needs a lot of help - we would need to spend a large sum of money to a proven consistent big time receiver in FA to solve our problems (dropsies).

It'd just be easier and a safer bet to find a kid in the draft. Besides GM has done well from the draft thus far.

Free agent receivers make me nervous. They have a tendency to not live up to the hype when they get to their second team.

Much rather look at OL in free agency and use a high draft pick on a receiver.

Actually I'd like for us to double dip like we did on DT. I believe that we could possibly even get a playmaker in the third if G-man lives up to his expectations.  But I want two in the first two, or two out of three. 

 

I can't say that all these kids would necessarily be coming out, but I kinda like Jalen Strong of Arizona State, Brandon Coleman of Rutgers and Jordan Matthews of Vanderbilt.

I'm OK with bringing him in to be a #2 on a cheapish/reasonable contract. He'd be an upgrade over LaFell but I don't consider him a #1 WR.

 

I don't think anyone will be running to pay him big bucks TBH but you never know, some teams go full retard when it comes to FA.

 

 

Move up in draft by giving up our 1st & 2nd for Watkins or Evans. No I'm not kidding. Also if Ebron falls to us at 32 then snag him. :)

 

I'm thinking trade a 1st and 3rd to move up and get Watkins (if that opportunity exists at least) and get an OT in the 2nd. Sign a legit #2 TE in free agency. Re-sign Ginn and Wharton, get Silatolu back at guard. Should be good to go.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
