In the meantime, I'd say, there is a legitimate chance he ends up somewhere besides Philadelphia, and, at age 30, I'd anticipate there being a good number of suitors for his services.

But Jackson isn't the only option. Several league sources anticipate the Eagles being in on Alshon Jeffery (Bears) and Philadelphia was aggressive in exploring trade options in-season on other receivers as well, like Torrey Smith (San Francisco), and they need to add more than one pass catcher this offseason.

It's not a slam dunk that Jackson is back-son (sorry, couldn't resist). There aren't many legit options to add a difference-maker in this free agent class, and while Jackson has suffered some injuries and while guys like Brandon Marshall, Danny Amendolaand Mike Wallace could become cap casualties soon enough and join the list of available receivers, it's still a very shallow pool.

Carolina needs to be in the hunt for him. He's turning 31 before next season end by the way, which may or may not matter

Why?

Unless we don't hang onto Ginn, then there isn't much difference aside from Jackson MAYBE grabbing 1-2 of Ginn's usual drops.

Also, you're looking at about $4 Million per year or more difference for those 1-2 more catches. Totally NOT worth it.

Draft a later round project guy on the cheap and you're good.

LOL! Jackson has 5 1000+ yard seasons, including last season. Ginn's best season was 790.

That's just too narrow of a view imo. While on one hand I hear your point, the truth we have a much bigger issue with our WRs. They don't get separation. Funch and Kelvin are great big bodies WRs but Ginn is the only one that gets space off the defenders covering him. I actually am happy having Funch and KB but we need more speed besides just Ginn. 

Im not saying we need a speed demon either. We don't have to target Jackson. But we do need another WR that can get open in space for Cam.

With all that said, I'll be kind of surprised if we do sign a WR this offseason. Not shocked. I just think we will make one or maybe to mid tier signings and they won't be at the WR position.

He's also been a #1 WR in passing friendly offenses. Ginn was never really asked to be a #1 WR.

We have a #1 WR, if he can pull his head out of his ass. We also have a #2 if Ginn stays. We also have a #3 if Funch can be consistent.

So why blow 7-9 Million for a couple years on a guy that won't really make a difference in what we do?

We need to put our money into edge rushers and the offensive line, and we need to draft an RB and some DB help.

DJAX, JPP, or any of these other big name/big money FAs are not the fixes to our woes. Most of our problems stem from injury, coordination, and execution. No single FA, or even a combination of big name ones, are going to fix that.

We aren't the Washington Dan Snyder's. We're the Carolina Panthers.

We have the same WRs that we went to the Super Bowl with, people. Not only that but we've got a +1 number one WR added to the mix.

Yes, I'd like to retain Ginn and find some project guys to work into the mix at 3-5, but we're better at WR than most are seeing.

It is lack of execution (the separation thing is partly execution,) time in the pocket, and scheme. Once they fix those things, we'll be a lot better.

All these "well, that's what we did to get to the SB" arguments just need to stop. If you don't recall, we lost that's SB and then proceeded to go 6-10, so those arguments couldn't possibly be more irrelevant.

Rivera  a talked  need to evolve our offense to talk our offense the burden off of Cam. Part of that plan may well involve upgrading our mediocre WR corps.

Nah man team only win with defense, don't ever mention an offensive player.

Dude can play but am I the only one that would only do this in Madden? His personality is a complete non-starter. Diva who is me first and very vocal. Known to publicly whine. 

 

I would look to the draft or another target in FA. I personally like that we usually avoid these types of guys...or let them walk after rescinding the franchise tag.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      Fair enough. I never once said not supporting Tepper makes you a bad fan by the way. I can't stand the guy myself. You on the other hand don't like anything about the team. You can't stand the owner or the coach because his religion doesn't fall in line with how you feel it should so I'm curious why you are even a fan at this point? Hell, you like nothing about the team, why even be a fan these days?  We can go backs and forth about how many games we have been to and measure dicks if you want or but it doesn't matter. I've been to my fair share over the years. Some as a fan and some work related but I bet you have been to more due to my weekends being filled with some work I do at the collegiate level so I probably only average maybe 2-3 games per year tops. You have me beat there im sure. You are probably very correct on us not being the same in anything at all I am quite sure of that. If I'm a "mark" (as you put it) for not liking Tepper and not caring about Canales religion or his political beliefs or letting it have weight on whether or not I like the team then call me a "mark" but you're still a whiny bitch either way.  When you hate everything about leadership from their personalities to their religious beliefs all the way to who they vote for at that point why even be a fan? I can side with you judging by your beliefs that you have made apparent, if you owned and coached the team, I sure as hell would find a new one to support but as you said we are different. Enjoy Norway, it is a beautiful country. Visited last year myself and absolutely loved it.

      This is exactly what we needed to see from Beyce

      The playing well part, depends on what happens going forward. It could have been a tease that will dig our hole deeper.  In the small picture of one game, probably his best game. Green Bay wasn't as great as people think it was. More like one good quarter. Followed by two games of exactly nothing.

      Oh, it was handled horrifically.  Ego got in the way of a plan.  I'm just saying, that he actually probably stumbled into the better outcome/plan.
