So is it breakout seasons that don't count, or just the most recent one?

No breakout seasons count, but they tend to come as your coming into your prime. A 31 year old WR having a "breakout" year? Cotchery is a solid WR, I'm not saying that he isn't. What I'm saying is let's not act like 10tds is the norm for him. He averages 4tds per year in his career. Take out last season and over the course of 9 years he's averaged about 2 per year.

as opposed to Lafell that averages 3.25?

 

meh, Cotchery is going to be a great redzone target, and will give defenses trouble paired with Olsen.

Cotchery has played 10 seasons, Lafell only 4. Lafell still has a chance to be better. Is he better right now? I don't think so, but we'll see.

Not sure if this has been covered, but Underwood hasn't had a real good QB throwing him the football. Hard to excel at WR in TB.

I think Underwood will at least match what Ginn did last year. That's what matters. If we don't improve directly with these two signings, we're AT LEAST on the same level as last season (minus Smith).

We'll probably sign one more FA WR, and we're definitely drafting at least one.


I agree with OP. Let Gettleman do his job and know that we will be OK as long as Cam can get chemistry with a couple of these guys.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
