I don't think I would judge any pass catcher on last years performance given that we had the worst qb/coaching combo in the league for part of the year, and even after Rhule was gone, we only had two games in which we threw the ball more than 25 times.  Prime Antonio Gates wouldn't have caught many balls for us last year.

Would he have caught more than 8?

I don't think I would qualify any of our tight ends from last year as very good receiving tight ends when they averaged .25 receptions a game

True but remember the TE was rarely used much in the passing game during the previous regime. More like an extra OL. Reich is already known for using the TE more prominently in the his offensive schemes.

Its ashame. I miss watching guys like Brad Hoover and Mike Alstot. Just big physical dudes bowling people over

Ouch. Hoover JAG and Alstott GOAT in the same sentence. 

I know you guys loved Hoover but damn, he is not even a RoH panthers player, much less in the same breath as Alstott.

Are Fullbacks a Dying Breed in Today's NFL? | News, Scores ...
 
Fullbacks are a dying breed. Many colleges, due to the proliferation of the spread offense, no longer use true fullbacks, so the feeder system to the NFL has evaporated. For some players, the position simply isn't glamorous enough. "Nobody ever grows up wanting to be a fullback,

I know right? Panther fans are notorious for over-hyping their own players. You can't trust fans to have a realistic evaluation of their own players. The interwebz with all its Fandoms and Homerisms is ruining the game for us real fans. Not to mention Madden and Fantasy Football. They're the worst. lol

Way to troll, sure hype your guys, but realistically. 

We have some great Panthers players in our history, Hoover is not one of them. It was fun to yell his name at the stadium but thats about it.

You using Realistically is kinda funny. lol

 

So what you are really saying is that anyone that doesn't agree with your take on Burns and Hoover are just Homers with no real ability to judge a players worth?

Where did I say that? If you think Hoover is an all time great FB thats cool, I will question your player evaluation, but its still cool.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, once you form that opinion people can agree or disagree, thats how it works. Thats why we have the pie, poo, etc. reactions...

Burns is in the other thread....

      Let's trade Moton

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I think that had his knees been in good shape, he would have been extended by now.  My opinion is based on the fact that they do not to seem to confident about his knees, so should we?  On the other hand, all veterans are playing with some chronic injury of some sort, so how much weight do you give it?  And in today's market, Moton's salary is not overblown.  Unless your concern becomes a problem, you stay the course, I would think.  But Moton will probably not be our tackle when we are a playoff team, so the time to start grooming his successor is probably this year.

      Top insider Tony Pauline 2-round mock draft (Panthers love Mykel Williams and will take him)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      The Athletic FS had a Panthers fan write in about Mykel vs Jalon. Derrick K was surprisingly in favor of Mykel but gave a pretty compelling argument. You’re getting a baseline great run defender with some nice pass rush potential. You’re not getting the hyper athletic, violent, burst off the snap type, but he’s a grinder who can maintain a great level of play throughout a game. He’s the ideal type to eventually have paired with the more peppy/athletic edge rusher. No one says to avoid a 1B just because you don’t have or can’t find a 1A. And who knows, he could still become a double digit sack guy. 86” wingspan is monster. With Jalon, you’re using him as an EDGE. So you’re banking him fitting a super rare spot, that only Parsons has really followed through at. Myles Jack and others just didn’t work out as well. They mentioned you may just be getting a shorter Luvu-plus rather than a Parsons-lite.  Mykel at 8 will not surprise me in the least, and it could be a solid move.

      I thought you said he never made use of a TE in his systems before... seems like from your post that he did. Just sayin'...
