Taylor Gabriel?

Would you be open to signing a former nemesis for a mid tier price?  I think here the kind of Sheppard level signing we need to make this offseason to give the wr core a bit of competition. Of course, I haven’t given up on Samuels but a challenge is needed in the field stretching department. That said, this isn’t even a discussion in finding a number 1 or 2 wr, this is just about finding competition for 3. Who know Gabriel I think still has room to grow and could become a 2.

additions need to be made.. what say you...

Yeah the Byrd is the wyrd. 

im all for bringing in a vet WR but it needs to be someone who can compete for one of the top two spots. 

^^^ This .. The guys we sign need to be starting quality competing for the top 2 spots at WR..

I certainly don't see him as any type of need,  just another body who probably wouldn't leapfrog Byrd (as Byrd has been here),  and certainly doesn't have the upside of Samuel. 

He’s a big play deep threat who Cam could do wonders with if they developed solid chemistry... like Ginn. He’s not the most talented deep threat available though so I frankly would only think of him as a fallback option. And I could see Byrd or Samuel being way better than him anyways. But I think he’d have a chance at being what we thought Shep could be last year.

    • I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/
    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
