Dri Archer anybody?

I really liked this kid when he came out of Kent State. Seems like a guy we could maybe revive, and turn into a decent option. Ran a 4.26 40 yard dash and at the very least could potentially give us a fast receiving threat out of the backfield.

I like how when anyone makes a thread like this, everyone flocks in to trash the guy seemingly forgetting that our WR corps consists of no one who would be higher than #4 on the depth chart on most other NFL teams.  No one is suggesting signing a guy like this to big guaranteed money, but it doesn't cost anything more than the cost of a plane ticket and a hotel room to bring a guy in for a workout and given the state or our WR corps, why not?  You say this guy sucks, well so does virtually everyone currently suiting up at WR for us.  If he sucks slightly less than the worst WR on our roster then we have a chance to upgrade our roster.

How about training camp next summer? Can he return punts and kickoffs?

Nope. That's why he was cut. He's fast as hell but all he did was run sideways and out of bounds really fast. He doesn't play WR and he's too small to play RB. He might be useful for a few gadget plays here and there but since he adds no value as a returner or special teamer he would be a wasted spot on the active roster to use once or twice a game.

    • It was great that Brady was able to step in as our center on short notice... but center overall needs addressing this offseason.  Getting worked up about the QB has been a Huddle tradition since I've joined almost 20 years ago. Jake Delhomme is not a franchise QB. Start Chris Weinke. David Carr will push Jake. David Carr crumbles at the slighest sniff of pressure. Matt Moore may be the future. Matt Moore doesn't care about being the starter. Clausen is a limp pickle. Cam can't win close games. Cam can't throw an accurate pass. Cam should've dived on that fumble. Cam should've not gone after that Chargers player and hurt his shoulder. Teddy can't throw past the sticks. Darnold's a dumbass. Mayfield can't throw a pass without it being batted down. In other words, I can't get that worked up nowadays because I've heard most of it before already. I will say BY's getting more of the Jake Delhomme Huddle hot takes now, which I'll take as a positive improvement from where he was before.  
    • 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.
