King and McNutt wont be punchlines for long.

Good article on the current #1 and #2 receivers for the Panthers.

Thanks for the laugh...

The only picture they have to give on the article is a catch out of bounds...

I rewatched the Atlanta game today, it was a perfectly thrown ball. He really should've came down with both feet.

Yes, he should have, but meh.  New team, young guy - give him another chance, I think he comes down with it in bounds.  He clearly wasn't ready last year, though. I'm not going to say he has no potential and won't amount to anything.  Either or both those guys could be big contributors.

 

Just wish we could find some journeyman vet with some experience.  We don't need a #1 in FA but we do need someone that can at least be a #3 if not a #2.

I have no reason to talk poo about them at this point just because they are unproven.

I Cam see myself busting a King sized McNutt if one of them pans out.

I hope they can develop into something and produce for us, but I also hope the plan isn't to count on that.

This.

Could someone help me out by explaining why King and McNutt, who couldn't see action on a team that boosted the 28th ranked passing attack, is supposed to be better than the WRs they could not beat out?

[Kuech the Sneak]

It's gotta be kind of an annoying time for them, all the people making jokes and poo about them.

[Catalyst]

They've got potential, but we can't go into the season banking that we've got two starters here. Best to bring in veteran options (Cotchery, Avant, Britt, etc.) and let them compete.

the author writes:

"Though it’s still not crystal clear, general manager Dave Gettleman does have a plan for his team at receiver."

and it quotes McNutt as saying this about the plan at WR by the guys in the front office: “They're just not going to go all straight young guys. There’s going to be guys they pick up."

They didn't have training camp with us, probably didn't get a ton of reps with Cam at all, and were new to the NFL (McNutt was in his 2nd season, King a rookie).  It takes receivers time.  So they could be better than Lafell, Ginn, Hixon... We didn't get a ton of chance to see.

 

I don't expect them to be #1s, but you never know, they could be valuable this year.
