Panthers Not Set At Wide Receiver

Heh, I posted pretty much the same thing in another thread earlier today.

KB looks like a legit 1 in the making, though you definitely want to pair him with a speedier guy on the other side.

I'm higher on Cotchery than most, but ideally he's no more than a 3rd receiver for you. Scary we signed him to be our number 1 last year, but thankfully Benji came through for us. At his peak Cotch was a solid 2, but this is 2015.

Conversely, I'm a little lower on Philly than most. Loved his contributions last year but I'm unsure he'll truly develop into the speedy 2 we need. Seems best as a 3rd/slot guy.

Thank God for Ginn. Even if his WR role is a bit redundant with that other speedy Buckeye I just mentioned, we desperately needed him for returns.

I like Bersin, but please never return a punt ever again. Good size, great hands, no speed. He's limited, but he moves the chains. Could do a lot worse for your 4th/5th guy.

Everyone else (Hill, Presley, Lucas, Mike Brown) strikes me as camp bodies, though they could always surprise. The Hill Chronicles are always fun, but you can't deny the measurables.

Basically I'm saying we really need a 2. My heart wanted Torrey Smith but my head knew that wouldn't happen. Best bet is someone like Strong in the draft, but I kinda doubt he'll be available.

So yeah I basically agree 100%, and get out of my fuging head.

We went 12-4 with LaFell as our #2. Would it be that hard to find that calibur or slightky higher of a player in draft or the 2nd week of FA?

I imagine not. I hope we get a stud but imo LaFell is the bar

 

New England won the Super Bowl with him as a #2.  Not sure how though, a lot of people here had me convinced he was the problem in our offense.

 

A guy who can do it all and Challenge KB for the number 1 spot..

 

There is a lot of truth to this.  We don' t seem to have that all around guy.  Fast enough to get behind the defense, good hands, big enough to catch in traffic, and explosive enough to make something happen after the catch.  Sounds more like a #1.

If we can get another good pass catching TE ala Shockey I'd be happy with this WR group.

Anyone remember how comfortable Cam looked in a true 2 TE set?

Having gone to the The U, that was one of my favorite years as a panther fan. I loved Shockey and Olsen together. Sorry just had to reminisce.

I think we still need to add at least 3 more WR, as it is right now panthers still have one of the weakest receiving cores in the league. Ginn couldn't bet out a rookie last season and people are rejoicing about him signing with us, that puts things into perspective.
