Panthers talk to Greg Jennings

[GoobyPls]

Cotchery averaged more YAC/catch than Crabtree and Jennings last year.

 

Crabtree was getting thrown to by Kaepernick. (I should just it end it there)

 

Go look up Crabtree highlights and compare them with Jennings and Cotchery's. If you can't see the difference might as well not respond.

Any argument that starts with comparing highlight reels has already defeated itself before you even start. Almost anyone can look like an all pro if you paste together a dozen good plays out of 16 games and hundreds of snaps.

He's also great at YAC something the panthers desperately need.

He's actually been among the worst in the league since his injury.

Where else am I going to tell him to look? you think theirs  complete game tapes of him you can study on youtube?

 

The fact still stands, those "16 plays" are better than any 16 plays Jennings or Cotchery have put together the last 2 seasons.

Well here's hoping he's even healthier this season.

 

And I'm sure having Kaepernick as your QB has nothing do with it. Davis and Stevie Johnson both came off terrible seasons, theirs one common denominator among those 3.

[pantherclaw]

Agreed about Crabtree, no thanks.

[Rags]

Golly Gee Goobypls if Crabtree is ~so elite~ 

 

 

why is no one trying to get him

 

 

Go Ahead, I'll Wait

Anybody notice he chose the album "Young and Hopeless"? Not exactly the best phrase to rep Charlotte.

I don't know any Good Charlotte songs off of another album.

Not sure why most hated the idea of signing Andre Johnson but are super excited about getting Jennings. Jennings is only 2 years younger than Andre and not even close to being as good.

Jennings will not beat anyone deep anymore, it'll be up to Shula to put Jennings in spots for him to be successful. Just asking Jennings to be a number 2 by having him line up outside isn't going to end well.

I'd rather have Crabtree but both were similar WR's last season. Crabtree is the bigger more physical of the two and with the Saints just signing Browner, Crabtree may come in handy.

With that said, Jennings>Cotchery so I'd welcome Jennings to this group any day

I don't recall people hating the idea of Andre... I would bet Greg will be significantly cheaper though. And despite what you may think you believe, Andre and Greg are pretty similar at this point in their career. Andre may be slightly better but not by much and there is a reason the Texans cut him.

Most didn't like it because of Andre's age which is understandable but Jennings isn't far behind. Jennings can still be effective but it'll be up to Shula...

Agree with Thomas on this.  

 

It's about value and salary.  AJ is making $7M+ in '15 and '16 and is two years older.  

 

Both WRs are putting up similar numbers and expectations are about the same, only Jennings would cost 1/2 the price.  

 

Jennings isn't going to be the beast that he was in GB with Favre/Rodgers, but a solid 70 reception - 750 yard - 8 TD campaign is likely here.  I'd take that, even though Johnson is the more talented WR.  Jennings at $3.5M-4M > Johnson at $7.5M
