Riley Cooper would you want him

Just gonna throw it outhere as a I'm bored Saturday question, out of all the free agents listed to help the offense, little has been mentioned about Riley Cooper, ok I guess the whole racism stuff will put a few fans off and maybe some outthere question his talent, looking at the list of possible free agents it's difficult to see who would come in and take lafells spot as a genuine number #2, as small as his hands were for a receiver and the critical drops he made at times, plus the lack of desire and motivation to want to become Steve Smith replacement as the panthers #1, lafell still put up pretty good numbers and his blocking was very important to our game, we will need a viable option to replace him, and there only seems a small list of possibles, Nicks, Sanders, Burleson, Maclin and Cooper, with Victor Cruz asking for Nicks to comeback and Nicks saying he wants to stay in NY, I see it as a doubtful move at present he comes back to Charlotte, the jets are apparently in the frame for Sanders and Maclin according to nfl.com, although Maclin wants to stay in Philly and it's reported they want him to stay as a discount and he proves he's over his injury, Burleson could be an option but his age puts me off, so I turn to Cooper, would you guys like him in Charlotte as a legit #2 weapon for Cam, he did seem to play well in Philly even with all the the off-field drama surrounding him, seems a steady player good hands, big physical guy who I think Cam could hook up with, I still see us drafting a receiver too but somebody with experience and be ready to go from day one is needed aswell as young talent. So opinions??.

From a pure football standpoint, no. The off the field stuff just adds to that no. He's got good hands but really is not good at getting open. And with the amount of time Cam has in the pocket, we need guys who can get open.

He's an OK target, but I would like a better replacement for LaFell if it came to that.  The draft looks like a better option at this point, between a couple probably expensive receivers and a few ho-hum options.

 

 

Nicks is still a question to return to the Giants regardless of what Cruz wants. His return may hinge upon the market. If another team is willing to pay him more than the Giants, then he will likely be gone.

The good thing about Cooper is that he will probably sign for less than he is worth due to the stupid drunken racist statements he made.  But, it looks like he was able to make amends and had a good season.  Since we won't have a ton of money, he might be a value.

 

I am sure Gman can ascertain whether or not he earned his teammates respect back or not.

There is also the question of just how much his production in 2013 was due to playing in Chip Kelly's offense.

 

I don't see that as being an issue.  If he can do his job in Kelly's offense, then he should be able to do his job in our less prolific offense. If anything, he would hopefully help to raise ours a peg or two.

Nope. He felt safe to be a racist around his white friends, he wouldn't have given what he did a second thought if he hadn't been caught on video.

Keep him away from this team.

Because everyone knows he is the only player in the entire NFL to ever say n***** or any other derogatory word.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
