per multiple sources. panthers related because he'll go to the HOF as a panther in the minds of the world, and for all his salt he'll probably come home and retire a panther and we'll all go give him a standing ovation.

...but feel free to move it mods

Hope he plays into his 40s and ends up only behind Rice in yards and is a 1st ballot HoFer.

to do it he'd have to break 16,000 receiving yards. andre johnson just bumped him out of the top ten a week or two ago, but a thousand yards next year would bump tim brown out of the #6 spot all time. another 300 yards on top of that (attainable if they make the playoffs and do some damage) would vault him to #3 all time, over randy moss. 700 after that (2017 season?) would pass terrell owens for second all-time.

in other words he needs 2000 yards. that's quite a feat at 36.

A receiver his age coming off an achilles tear? 

 

Just retire, Steve. 

he probably should, but a mere 122 yards bumps him up two slots on the all-time list. that could make the difference between HOF and an almost-was, and steve knows it

He's a HOFer right now. Pundits all love him. Getting over 1,000 catches would cement it.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      I'm not religious. I don't care that he is. It has no impact on whether or not he will succeed as a head coach in the NFL. If he doesn't work out here so be it. I'm not wasting keystrokes going off on tangents about his personal life. If I were that deeply invested to that point I wouldn't even be following sports at all. Clearly for whatever reason you do as the previous threads you have created eviscerating Dave Canales over that and his personal life would clearly indicate. But that's your prerogative.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      The approach we took to build the WR room is one I will always be miffed by. I’ve never liked our draft choices and it always leaves me feeling uneasy (even back to LaFell/Gettis/Armanti). I loved Pearsall and Ladd, but those just aren’t types we target for some reason. RB wise - Just seeing what Bucky Irving has done this year with guys Canales’ built his offense around last year, is enough to really make the RB approach seem questionable.  If we were unsure about Chuba preseason, then we should’ve gotten a guy who could’ve played immediately. If we were confident in Chuba, then we should’ve targeted a Ray Davis, Irving, Tracy, Guerendo etc a bit later and reserve the R2 capital for a potential long term starter.  The reasoning doesn’t entirely check out even though I love Brooks as a prospect.  I dunno, just still feels off. Same taste I got with the Horn pick. Same with bringing back Hurney. Just a big old ick.
