Cecil Shorts is my number one guy to go after in FA... The guy has never had a QB, and still produced. He displays great route running and great hands. He's exactly what we need, and will come at a song of a price when compared to Maclin and Cobb. I'd really hate for us to go all in on a guy like Cobb because he's coming from Aaron Rogers. I'm not saying he's a bad WR but he could be a huge risk and just pan out as a 'product of the system' kinda guy. What we need to look at is a guy who has not hit his ceiling yet and has been held back by bad QB's but still showed production. (Ted Ginn showed production here imagine what a guy like Shorts would do) Shorts is that guy, and will come at a steal compared to Maclin and cobb. Maclin worries me as well because he's a burner but never showed great route running or hands even for that matter throughout his tenure with the Eagles hence why they didn't tag him. We bring in Shorts draft Dorial-Green Beckham (love the kid despite off the field issues), and all of a sudden your looking at plethora of Wr's for Cam for less then what some sucker is going to pay for Cobb or Maclin. The numbers in jacksonville are not impressive, (which I like because he will come cheap) but my god the guy had Gabbert and Bortles as his QB's.

The Eagles didn't tag Maclin because he ostensibly isn't worth that kind of money.  Now why don't the Jags want to lock up their off-again-on-again WR1 for the last few years when they have a crap load of cap space, more than any other team?  Oops, did I answer that?

Because they drafted Marquise Lee, and Allen Robinson... O and there also the Jags... Oops, did I answer that?

All I am saying is that the Eagles want Maclin, and the Packers want Cobb.  The Jags don't seem to want Shorts at any price according to what I've been reading.  He has a history of soft tissue injuries which have hampered him his whole career, even last season during his contract year.  He has been hurt so much here and there (and has played injured, slowing him down), I can't even get excited by his upside.  But if G-man signs him to a cheap deal, I will not be upset about it either. For my money Kenny Britt is a much more superior option, and Denarius Moore is a much faster and more explosive receiver than Shorts who has intriguing upside.  But, God bless him if he becomes a Panther. I hope that he stays on the field and ups his game wherever he ends up.

I actually do like him better than Britt or Moore, thats just my opinion.  The goal is not to have a guy who is a #2, but to get a guy who is a #2 but can play like a #1 when needed, and Shorts did that in spurts in Jacksonville, where as Britt and Moore just haven't done that yet.  One of them might very well be better, but IMO, they haven't really proven it on the field.  Now you are right, he's had injury concerns, and that is where his concern is for me, but I think when healthy he is a better option than Britt or Moore.

Britt was the #1 for the Rams last year

748 - WR Kenny Britt <-----------------------------

435 - WR Stedman Bailey

375 - WR Brian Quick

242 - WR Tavon Austin

159 - WR Chris Givens

118 - WR Austin Pettis

634 - TE Jared Cook

259 - TE Lance Kendricks

compare to 2014 Panthers:

1008 - WR Kelvin Benjamin

580 - WR Jerricho Cotchery

296 - WR Philly Brown

201 - WR Jason Avant (went to KC where he caught for 152 more)

151 - WR Brenton Bersin

1008 - TE Greg Olsen

115 - TE Ed Dickson

44 - TE Brandon Williams

      Who here was NOT HAPPY we won yesterday....

      By Castavar · Posted

      I'm usually pro tank in situations like these. Like when Rhule was fired, I wanted us to tank hard and trade anybody worth a damn and just continue losing. I also wanted us to tank that last Saints game in like 2020 I wanna say to get a better pick. However, this year just seems different. I feel like we have something with this coaching staff and building some culture and personality. At some point you really do have to figure out how to win close games. This year feels like that year when Cam and Co just kept losing close games and went like 6-10. Then the following year we just showed out. And like others have said, we've been so ass at drafting that it has changed my whole mindset about wanting to tank and lose games. Fug that, I just want a win wherever I can get it now. Yesterday felt great!

      At this point I'm indifferent to wins/losses and solely interested in seeing team and staff development on the field. In general, growing teams need to stay mindful when winning certain types of games to not let it mask continued on-field deficiencies, whatever they may be for a given team. That's where the quality of the coaching and FO come in and that's where the rubber will continue to meet the road if Carolina pulls out more of these types of games. This season is nearly a wrap. My metric for success was continued improvement and development on the field and I think it's fair to say that that is happening (degree is debatable, but it is happening), a stark change from prior regimes. Improving this offseason will be no small order and time will tell how things shake out.

      I’ve always argued for a better draft pick and explore what you have on the team in poo time when the season is already lost vs a win. However seeing this poo franchise draft like ass and be completely inept for 7 years at this point I will take a win if only to feel a brief moment of relief from misery. We are the new Browns…take every crumb you get, the future is already always bleak with Tepper at the helm.
