That's what I thought, try changing the topic, that's all you can do. These receivers are not Super Bowl caliber and it showed in the biggest game. 

And to top it off we lost to a team that brought in a legit WR through free agency

Not changing the topic. Pointing out how little you know about it.

Again, we went to the Super Bowl last year even without our best receiver. That receiver is coming back and our draft pick receiver now has a year under his belt. Meanwhile, the free agent we signed back had a career year.

I know you don't understand what any of this means, but it doesn't really matter. Somehow the front office found a way to have the most successful season this team has ever seen without taking your advice. 

Something tells me they can do it again.

How the hell do you know that are best receiver will be 100% and not get injured again?

 

How is a guy who couldn't beat out and old slow WR who we just cut  suppose to catapult to the number 2 spot? 

 

Any half way decent receiver could had the season Ginn did with the MVP of the league throwing to you. Crabtree (who you were against) would had a monster season with Cam

 

Where the hell are we living the Soviet Union? That I can't question our front office. We get your a yes man who dares to question any authority.

How do we know Cam won't get injured? Would you suggest we sign RG3 just in case?

As to Funchess, he was a rookie. And again, I know I'm talking over your head here, but rookies do this thing they call "developing". By season's end, Funchess was looking pretty good.

Bottom line, Kid: The front office isn't perfect, and nobody thinks they are. But what we all know they are, is infinitely smarter than you.

They built a Super Bowl team. I'm not even sure you could follow a flag football game.

Your really comparing Cam to Kelvin who missed the whole season? Lol wow good god you're dumb

 

A rookie who couldn't beat out 3 mediocre receivers, a rookie who had one the highest drop% in the nfl, your insane to think Funchess is ready to be a number 2 after a subpar rookie season.

 

The front office isn't perfect but you damn sure treat it like it is, you have no guts to admit signing another legit receiver would have helped this team immensely, and we still need receiver help cause outside a questionable Kelvin we have a bunch of number 4s.

 

They by they you mean Hurney also cause his guys were the catalyst of the team. Going by your childish logic no team can question any front office cause they work in the nfl.

 

it doesn't work like that in the real world, boy

[DelhommesTheMan]

I agree that the Pantherd should sign a veteran WR for the right money in the event that Kelvin is slow to return to form, or we have another injury in the WR department.  If signing Boldin for example means Stephen Hill doesn't make the team, that means Hill couldn't beat out a 34 year old and is done in the NFL.  Hill has done nothing to warrant a spot on this roster in two years.  Same goes for Bersin and Norwood.  A vet WR signing cut easily be cut when we try and get down to the 53 it's happened before.  

But I disagree that Funchess is not ready to be the #2.  He developed as the season went on and really improved down the stretch and should have and will be given every opportunity to be our #2 WR.  Can't wait to see KB and Funch out there together.

Ah, the irony...

Quick tip, kid: The insults are only effective if you can actually establish some kind of credibility that you know what you're talking about. You've established just the opposite.

I'm not going to bother trying to explain the salary cap to you because frankly, everything else I've tried to explain you just don't get. And you talking about the real world while you about Madden based scenarios is pretty funny.

Bottom line, kid: The front office knows a lot more than you do. They built a Super Bowl contending team; and in the real world, not in Madden. After all the crap you talked last year, they went out and proved you were completely wrong. So why should I or anyone else take you seriously now?  Maybe you could try learning to trust that somebody other than you actually knows what they're doing, but apparently that's asking too much.

They may well decide to bring in receiver help this year if they feel it's warranted. And given that they know what they're doing, I'm fine with that. I'm also fine if they just stick with what we have because we're getting Benjamin back and what we had last year was enough to get to the Super Bowl.

And no, it won't matter to me whether it's a guy I like or not because, again, I trust that a group who built a team that went 17-2 has some idea what to do, or at least more so than a teenage kid on a message board.

Oy...

Boldin is a popular choice, and a good one to play the 'veteran mentor' role if they feel that's needed. You don't get much higher in the character department than a guy like that.

Everything we've seen of Kelvin so far indicates his rehab has gone pretty well. Yeah, anything can happen, but I'm looking forward to good things.

I've never really been on the Stephen Hill bandwagon, but the team sees something in him worth keeping so far. I'm guessing that either pans out this year or they'll give up on the experiment.

Bersin has always been a 'bottom of the rotation' guy. Great hands and great chemistry with Newton but limited ability. They like Norwood, but I suspect he and Bersin are fighting for a single spot on the roster, and even that spot might be an inactive one.

And Funchess? I agree he's capable of being a number two. Whether the team uses him as such this year, we'll see.

Beachum (OT) Pittsburgh might be one of those players who slips through free agency until we can low ball him.  Free agency is for desperate teams early on and it fades into desperate players at the end.  Beachum will not be able to play in 2016 due to injury, but he is a T with starting experience.  He is still young (26). 

Coples (DE) is still in play, but I am not sure if the team was impressed by his interview/workout or if he confirmed fears.  I think we could wait for the market to beat down his price.

Amukamara (CB) I am not sure this is realistic, but he is 26 and played with no pressure on the passer.  High character guy who would fit in--sends Bene back to Nickel.

Team his indicated they're not really looking to send Bene back to nickel, though.

We have backups at Qb...and wr.

We have a starter at wr hurtball season ,need more starters.This team has built depth ay wr and other positions, now we need to bring starters in...standing pat, being satisfied is not the attitude to have. Upgrading is needed.

Yes, I added that because that would probably be the end result---putting his transition outside off for a season.  If what you say is etched in stone, then we could add a nickel instead.  I think the draft is loaded at CB late in the draft--developmental players.  Love to see us find a gem there to groom for a year as depth.

Realistically, they could also be looking for a guy to take Norman's spot if a long-term deal can't be worked out.

To keep Bene outside and allow Norman to play 2016 here, I think the frugal and wise move is to draft his replacement and groom him for a season.  I am not against McClain as the nickel, but I would not mind trying to upgrade there as well.  Maybe the drafted CB could play inside---wish I understood the difference more.
