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.

      Deebo wants out of SF, and our current odds are high

      This is from 5 months ago. It was one or the other. Trade for one or draft one. We apparently called the Jets about Wilson. We also talked to the Seahawks about Metcalf. Drafting our own guy was the best course of action given the required investment. Regardless now is the time for Bryce Young to produce. We are fourth amongst all teams in cap spending on the OL. Back to back first round picks at WR and multiple young TE draft picks now. Very solid and respectable backfield. New pieces across the defense. The time is now.

      That was just the worst time to have their worst game of the season. One key deal was the broncos guess the Panthers would NOT change any plays or flow to the game. Another key point overlook that bronco defense was truly one of the best in the NFL history. It was the best defense the Panthers faced that year, by far. They were not ready for it, but broncos were ready for the Panthers. Mix in that bad luck, poor refs showcase, and this is the golden boys last game........ Panthers needed to win by 20 and the broncos defense was not going to allow that.  Panthers were the favorites and I believe they also thought that it was going to easier than them destroying NFC playoff teams as they marched to the SB. I've heard darin Gantt say the play calls were to give remmers help, but for some reason the team never did it. During the year they never had that problem, so maybe never practiced giving help via TE/RB, or WR chip. Cam was superman that year, no need for any adjustments...... Until you meet a legendary defense with studs at all levels, Think about it, Peyton was throwing wingless dunks for the whole season, the defense had to carry his corpse to the SB. That's how good they were, not many defense are able to get to the playoffs and win a SB without decent QB play. If you recall the beginning of that defense took Tim Teblows and his non-throwing arse to the playoffs couple years before. That's insane the level of defense needed to overcome.
