Wait....is PFF good again?

At this point I treat it like seeing someone you know while driving. You sit up straight, smile big and wave like an idiot.

You see that same person at Walmart and you cut down the first aisle to avoid speaking.

so, yeah.  PFF

haha I think that's the exception.

Like I said there is good strategy to do the deal, but we REALLY need to make the right decision

Agreed. He is going to have to have a top 10-12 type season for me to even think about an extension after one year. The lows were just too low in his career. 

I actually agree that he needs at least two years of above average play to get a chance at an extension.

In a world where 4 WRs is too many...

This fanbase has been so scarred by having WR corps with only 1 or 2 good receivers for so long that we have forgotten that the perennially winning teams in the league typically have at least 4 receivers who can actively perform and contribute...

Given the amount of high quality WR's coming out of college each year, you could make the case that paying top of the market for a WR is a misuse of resources. 

Maybe... or you could look at it from the standpoint that this is perhaps the first time in franchise history where we are establishing a legitimate receiving corp that can be maintained for hopefully more than a year or two.

When this team starts drafting WR's as shrewdly as the Steelers have, then maybe you have a point.

Myself, I'm just happy after 20 years we are finally developing (and hopefully sustaining) a receiver corp that we can actually be proud of (beyond the fleeting moment we had Smitty & Moose together)

Yeah thats true as well. We need Darnold to succeed and the best way to do that is to give him playmakers. I think we are in a good position to see if he is the guy.

Marshall caught 6 passes and Smith caught 3 so far this preseason and PFF has enough info to come up with their magic grades. 
 

Yes our rookie wide outs look promising and yes PFF is still garbage.

I think they factor in more than just their stats.  I believe it is based on how well they run each route and if they "win" that route.  I could be mistaken though because I dont think theyve ever made their grading process that open but I believe there is more to it than just grading plays where they are thrown to.  Regardless pff is just a tool.  It's not a be all end all.  It's one tool to evaluate performances.  It's still more of a positive to be graded well than badly I'd say.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
