Idk he was a locker room cancer hmmm

It's a pretty safe bet that he was because the talent was there. We saw that in the SB.

Rich Eisen saying Ealy would be a major addition. ha!

FTR, I say we cut Horton and roll with Cox and Hall as two young DE's to develop for the future.

Just going to throw this out there:

Would you rather have Horton or Ealy?

When we cut Horton we held onto Ealy. We've cut Horton twice if I remember correctly. Ealy would be cheap, Peppers could help, Ealy obviously has some talent. 

I'm not advocating...just throwing it out there...well because...Huddle

Horton is dependable, unlike Ealy.

But, but, Pat's won the off season.

Landry's overrated, but the other guys are fair points.

For us, he would've been worth it had we won SB50. But then again, he was never good long term, so I'd say he's a bust.

But Gettleman was the one who first realized that and fleeced Bellicheck. Very few people have ever done that.

Just think if we had had the slot receiver that produced more yards than any other slot receiver in NFL history for his first three years, along with Kelvin Benjamin (who is/was also "overrated" according to some). Hell, even without Benjamin in '15, Landry may have made a winning difference against the Broncos.

Logic tells me because he was release and we can sign him for next to nothing and continue to develope him keeping what we already received from the pats it's a no brainer to bring him back under these conditions but what do I know..

I agree with this assessment.  If we can claim off waivers why wouldn't you bring him back?

 

if he is a cancer then fine but we will never know.

[electro's horse]

Just think if we could go back in time to 1995 and help the panthers draft

wed have never ending all pros at every position!

The what ifs get fuging old. Nobody is perfect and dg hit well on a lot of picks. Some of y'all have a god complex or something.

The Ealy pick in the 2nd round seemed like great value at the time. Greg Hardy was about to be a free agent and Ealy would replace him. Unfortunately, Kony was lazy and didn't put in work thus making him a sizeable bust.

Gman did marvelously in actually getting something for this bum.

Landry is pretty damn good

Makes stupid decisions half the time. He's force fed the ball more-so than Cam force feeding KB in '14 and '16.

I personally don't get the hype. If you look at just his tape alone, he doesn't look that special. I get why people look at his stats and pop their eyes open wide, but very few times do I see him act as a top tier slot receiver that he's supposed to be.

Both Gettleman and Hurney f*ckd up on their chances to take care of the 2nd WR position. 

Both guys couldn't have had the draft go any better for them and they pissed it away. 

Hurney with his Amini over Alshon pick in the 2nd round and then Gettleman with his Ealy pick. Both of these aren't "hindsight is 20/20" cases either. These both should have been no brainers that would've finally given us that 2nd WR.

Both Ealy and Robinson were projected in rds 2 or 3 so not sure where you are going with that argument. We had a need and had just drafted a first rd receiver. Hindsight is wonderful.

Here's some hindsight for you. No Ealy and then no Hardy. If he wanted to be good he could have been.

He's trying to make something happen.

Down 24-0 with 47 seconds left in the half.  Landry was 5th in the league last year in YAC yards, given the situation you want to see him try and make something happen.
