Oh god I remember thinking, "he will be a good compliment to SS and will be here for a while". How wrong I was on that

Wahle and Lucas were pretty high 2nd tier guys in FA. I dont know what you classify Keyshawn Johnson but he was pretty big named. Edit: Stephen Davis, Ricky Proehl it seems like we like to target 2nd tier guys not so much the #1 guy in FA

This, with Dockery seeming to be signing some where else, this seems like we expect him to fill his spot.

Its the underwear gnomes.

I think that hype train has finally left the station

Beamer coaches them well on ST. That's what I tried to bring up way at the beginning. He can replace a player like Bersin and Cotch production wise while also being able to play (and be good at it) on ST.

I understand what your saying and I know people hold Voth in high regard but I can't imagine the team not adding any more talent or competition at WR. Its the first day, we had already signed (technically) 4 players before today. Dave seems to have a plan and knows what he wants. At this point I have to kinda go with it. It has gotten excitement from the fan base we've never seen since early 2000's and back to back playoff births. Just an example but the Patriots signed one guy today. One. Some WR I've never heard of from Miami. Yet they might lose out on their best CB. Eddie Royal or a player like him isn't the answer. People complained about Boykin's year's, Eddie hasnt out produced his rookie year since entering the leauge in 2008 and averages 500 yards a year, that's what we got out of Cotch. Id rather us find players who fit what we are aiming for than force a round peg in a square hole. I can't imagine us really breaking the bank on a FA WR unless we are one piece from a super bowl. Right now Oline is a bigger need

5 mill a year for Eddie Royal is way to much and I'm a Hokie Homer. We need an upgrade at WR. It clear and has been clear since we had Moose and Smith play together. What if we draft a WR in round 1 or 2? People on here will celebrate and call it a victory but yet cam still has the same quality of protection last year. Its day one of FA. We didnt sign anyone on day one last year, and honestly I can't remember the last time, even when Hurney was here with Cap space we signed a big splash at WR. Keyshawn is the last one and that was a one year rental with my last memory of him was taking a flea flicker and throwing a INT in the end zone against the cow boys. Name someone the last 3-4 years that was a day one FA WR that got paid big money and has earned it and the team hasnt had buyers remorse. I bet we aren't done with WR unless the team is really high on Corey Brown and KB. Last year at this time we didn't even know who Norwell or Brown was yet we found them brought them in and expect them to contribute day one this year. That's a sign of a team that is building something.

I'm okay with drafting a player but we have two big and paid receiving threats (KB and Olsen) a good RB in Stew, a potential change of pace back in Fizzy, a average 2nd TE, a good FB/RB in Tolbert. What more can we give him? What we need is our talent to develop on the line (Turner and Norwell) and get a decent to good Tackle.

PDiddy this is one of those things that I will just disagrre with you on in this thread. We lost out on Cobb and Smith who average $8-$10 mill a year. We have a 1,000 yard receiver in KB and Olsen. We just made Olsen one of our highest paid weapons on the team. They view him probably as our second option like it or not. How many teams have 2-3 1,000 receivers on a team. Boykin hasn't even signed yet but we have a 20+ page thread of people freaking out about a guy we showed interest in. Sure he is the same mold of Cotch, but he is much younger, he is more skilled than Bersin and would be an upgrade of our 4th WR maybe even 3rd. You'd rather keep Webb/Bersin/Hill/Mucas than this guy? Its an upgrade. If you upgrade a position at any level its always a plus. People we splooging in their pants for Stephen Hill last year and teams didnt even make a claim off of our practice squad for him yet Boykin stayed on a roster in GB that is deep at WR. That to me speaks volumes compared to the depth we have. We wont sign another big name WR in FA as long as we have Olsen on our roster

The Colts and 49ers have as many super bowl wins as we have had since we have drafted Cam. The colts keep throwing poo against the wall for offense to see if it sticks, yet can't get past having an awful defense. The 49ers have literally imploded this year. They have a HC who played in Salisbury NC, have thrown multiple draft picks at WR (who aren't there any more) and lost three RB's this past year they have drafted (Gore, and the kid from SC and Oregon). Let's watch their sustained success the next few years

Notice what I said earlier. He isn't going to come in (although that would be nice) and light up and have 1,000+ yards and 10+ TDs and the triple crown. IF we sign him, he would be good depth in ST that can do both sides, block well in the WR role (which KB, Brown, and Bersin all suck ass at doing at a consistent level) he can play the slot and be a red zone target if need be. He would be an upgrade easily of Cotch and Bersin (both of which probably would get paid more combined than he would by himself) for the same role.

Please if you really think that Bersin would be that amazing in that system the hate for our team is just oozing from your vains

Jesus everyone.. Its a visit and I would like to have him here, but I'm not selling or saying hes going to be our #2 and save the franchise but damn y'all are acting like he's straight garbage. For those saying 2013 was a fluke and its because of the system. Would that have stopped you for getting excited for Cobb this year? How about when people on here wanted Greg Jennings a few years ago? I'm for one excited to bring in young players that are hungry to earn a starting spot. Low risk high reward. Worse case we cut him during preseason; if we sign him would it stop us signing someone else? Probably not. He came from VT which is known for special teams. Everyone on here complained and bitched about talent and people blocking on that side of the ball. Guess what he can do.

The fact that Boykin had almost 700 yards in starting only 8 games in 2013 discredits that entire post.

Maybe its the Hokie Homer in me, but people who are joking and poking fun at his 40 time saying he js a slow version of Cotch havent watched him play. When used in GB he was productive, he is the all time leading receiver at Virginia Tech in both receptions and yards beating out players such as Antonio Freeman, Andre Davis, Eddie Royal, Josh Morgan. The kid can play and can run block which is important and has always been important in our offense. I can see him playing the slot position very well for us. If I remember everyone's favorite WR coach didn't run a fast 40 and played 17 years in leauge

I loved him at Tech and would have liked him here a few years ago. Hes big and physical. He isn't the fastest but isn't the slowest by any means.

I have to disagree with SC....but with relatives in VA I can agree. Every other car has a custom license plate. To keep up with post a pic. Here is a token from my first Panthers home game

No one will admit it but the stereotype of white receivers are they are slow possession sometimes "scrappy" guys who can catch the ball.

Whats it like working for the panthers? I didnt know their policies were so harsh. Hell I work for "corporate America" and I didnt have to do hardly anything when my mother passed. Jeremy said it best earlier. This might be a situation where Deangelo needs to look himself in the mirror and ask why they didnt come. Also I stated earlier 48 hour notice is what I gave friends and family for my mothers funeral. I had family that couldn't make it but made Damn sure they contacted me and my family. There is more to this than we will ever know

Thanks and its just a lesson learned. That was almost two years ago now and I take the opportunity to talk to people about expecting the unexpected and being prepared. I manage over 40 employees now most of which are under the age of 30. 90% don't even think about that stuff happening and I know I didnt.

For those who haven't had to bury their parent(s). My mom passed on a Wednesday. And we had the funeral on Sunday. We literally had 48 hours after passing to notify CMC where to bring my mother. If its the off-season and players and owners arent around. It might be hard to get on a plane and be at a funeral within 48 hours of being notified of where and when. I haven't watched the interview and I honestly don't really care to. You shouldn't expect an employer to really do much now a days. The panther organization has 60+ players, a coaching staff and then staff in the office and stadium. I bet you that none of them expect Jerry Richardson to come to a funeral. Deangelo should in a way feel good and feel lucky in a way that he is in a situation where he could take care of his mother financially. If not he could switch with me and bury his mom at 25 and with no life insurance and have the burden of taking over that.

I mean I get where he is coming from in a way. My mother died last year and I'm 26 years old. I am a GM of s retailer and my employees since their condolences and so did my boss. I had some close co workers come to the funeral but my boss didnt come. I didnt expect her to, nor would I expect my employer to really do much. Sure my co workers and close people but the employer? Nah

They also had 40 draft picks in 4 years and basically got maybe 4-5 starters? Not much of a return on investment

Which would be evidence to see why Harbaugh was probably wearing his visit out. He inherited alot of talent and did very little in adding talent. Now they aren't on rookie contracts, aged, and not on the upside. He was in win now mode and didnt build for the future
