I bet Shi Smith has more yards than both of them next year. 

I'm not on board with either OBJ or Thielen for what they may cost, but i certainly don't want to watch Shi Smith drop balls all year.  He should be on the roster bubble imho.

Yep exactly this

This WR FA class is dog sh!t. I’d hate to see them overpay for one of these guys. This year was always about getting a rookie QB’s feet wet and taking our dead money hit without hurting our future cap

I don’t want to see us hurting our future cap for mid to lower tier type dudes. 

I do think signing Gesicki would be solid. We need a true TE for our rookie QB. If they’re going to address wide receiver it needs to be through trade and it needs to be one of the big name guys. Make sure you surround the rookie with legit weapons not overpay for some bum like Jakobi Meyers

Are you suggesting we leave our rookie qb with what we have at WR? Good idea. Let's let him stand in the pocket waiting for this bunch to get open and take some nice hits.  We already mentioned that the WR cost is not looking that bad w/ Jakobi Meyers getting 11m.

We need #1 WR.  Hardman is not #1

I think we need a #1, but we also need a deep threat. They are not mutually exclusive.

I couldn't name a free agent who is a true number one right now.

The Panthers without a doubt have the worst offense (skill position wise) in the NFL right now.  You can't name a team that is worse off at WR, RB and TE.   They have to sign, trade, draft skill players or it's going to be very ugly. Thankfully they will...

‘The sky is falling’ thread was one for the ages.  How many pages did that ultimately run?

"We Demand Answers" was another classic as well.

I almost got excited after reading the fake Ian Rapparort Twitter report that Panthers signed DJ Chark.

Also the "Remember Arizona" banner? Am I recalling that one correctly?

There's probably no clearer sign that someone has an absolutely pathetic life than to engage in imitating sports insider accounts on Twitter.

Exactly - at this point, we are looking for talented, capable pass catchers. We likely will not have a true #1 this offseason.

Yes that’s what I’m suggesting if you ignore the part I said to sign Gesicki and trade for one of the big name WR’s.

Give away more draft picks? Between Rhule and this new staff, we are draft pick poor.

Are you really poor if you've got the #1 pick though?

Hell, we've actually got just one less pick than you would in a standard draft, with the difference being that we have no picks in the sixth or seventh but an extra in the fourth.

If they actually do trade down, they could have even more.
