Panthers interested in Brandin Cooks....

3.57%, if you remove all other factors like teams who aren't interested.

Reports are that the jets love him. So, I'm not sure. I'm not overly optimistic about it.

Yeah I'm not going to hold my breath.

I just don't want us to be desperate in the draft, and the WR situation makes that difficult.

Hatter is 100% right.  If Smith was a good mentor we would have seen better play from the other WRs.

 

It might help if we drafted a WR in the early rounds for once.

I said this numerous times that cutting Smitty probally will allow the Panthers to go after a dynamic WR like Cooks in the draft where if Smitty is still on the roster it will not make sense.

Double dip for the bigger pass catcher coupled with. Sidney Rice type WR and we are good at WR.

It has nothing to do with it period. If you good, you good. If you suck, you fuging suck. Yall can stop the excuses for the Panthers inability to bring in Smith replacement when he said years ago he's tired of being number 1

 

Why do positional coaches exist when based on your genius observation they would serve absolutely no purpose?

Nothing against Cooks, but if we draft him it shouldn't be because we are looking for a younger Steve Smith, so many people couldn't wait to run the guy out of town. Let's look for the best receiver period to pair with our franchise quarterback, not someone who seems a lot like a previous player. Whoever we draft, let him be his own man.

I agree but that's what that pick would say on the surface. I also have nothing against Cooks, seems like he'd be a fine player in the right system. That could be ours. Just from what I know I'd rather have a Matthews, Lee might be there, or even Benjamin or a few others. Cooks just looks so damn little, and not just short. Little.

You went from a player "mentoring" to now talking about positional coaches, who job is to coach. Which one we talking about here? Steve Smith job wasn't to "mentor" anybody, he however could and actually did give advice as far as how to the play WR

Possibly.  Only about 1/3 receivers drafted in the first round since 2000 have been top notch.  It quickly falls off after that though so the chances of increased success would be higher but probably not by as much as we might expect.

    • I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.
    • The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24. 
    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.
