Carolina Panthers Wide Receiver Projections - Week 1

[pilot2011]

Might be the year we keep only 5 and use 3 tight ends

[Mr. Scot]

I think we'll miss his heart/passion

 

To be fair, it came with a downside.

 

You know that friend you really like a lot but who you have to walk on eggshells around because he's known to go off at the drop of a hat over the slightest thing?  Yeah, you like him and enjoy hanging around with him, but sometimes you're not exactly all that sad to say goodbye to him, maybe even a little relieved if you got by without some kind of blowup.

 

That's Smitty.  He was always a double-edged sword, and given his diminishing skills, the trade off is pretty even.

Little disappointed in Underwood. Ironically, the way things are shaping up Ted Ginn might have been our biggest WR loss. Going to miss his speed and return abilities.

Yea I thought we should have signed Ginn.

There's 2 ways to look at it

1. Like you said, situationally we have to be better.

2. Also, our WR's need to make plays throughout the game so we aren't put into situations like that. That first Seattle game, Ginn was the only wide out to register a catch and he only had 1.

Against quite possibly the greatest secondary of all time. I'm not saying that's not bad. But these defenses are elite for a reason.

And notice we wiped out our entire wr corp in the offseason. But we were still in that game until the very end. Offensively we found a way to put ourselves on a position to win. Not many teams did that against the Seahawks offensively

[TheRumGone]

What I'm saying is there are not many wr in the league that can do anything against that Seahawks secondary. That takes a unique individual a la megatron, aj green Brandon Marshall.

We may have found one in kb but who knows. How you best teams like that is having an equally punishing defense and pick and choose your spots because you make a mistake against that team it's game over

Steve Smith had 6 catches on 7 targets and a TD against Seattle... what are y'all talking about Ginn was the only WR with a catch?  But yeah, other than Smitty and Ginn (who only had 1 catch like was mentioned) no other WR had a catch.

 

Olsen had an uncharacteristically terrible game against Seattle.  Dude was getting open and Cam was sending dimes his way and he kept dropping the ball over and over.  Man I remember being so mad about that.  Other than Deangelo's fumble and that dumbazz TO on special teams... Olsen's drops were really the difference in that game.  Cam was rather fuging sharp that day despite the statline.

Kind of scary that only half to less than half of our projected WRs have caught a NFL pass.

Went to camp today and Bersin, King, and Lucas stood out.  We all know the first three WR's to make it, but I think these three had a good day above the others.

[WOW!!]

Underwood isn't doing enough to make this team right now.

[CPantherKing]

With a Shula offense we know the Panthers offense will carry 4 to 5 WRs on the roster. Shula is only going to keep 1 speed receiver on the active roster.

 

1. Benjamin

2. Cotchery

3. Lucas

4. Avant or Bersin

5. Underwood, Pillares, or Brown

Just based on what I've heard from training camp, but underwoods contract might help him get a roster spot
