We went 15-1 with Ted Ginn as our number 1. 

We went 15-1 with a historically unique unicorn QB having an MVP season with elite D lead by a future Hall of Famer.

Unless you got something crazy to put on the field (which we did)….that was a WR corps you lose with

Higgins is a great comp for burns. Great player, very important position, not elite, wants elite money. Delusion 

No, the delusion is thinking Higgins isn't a clear cut #1 WR in this league, which he is, even if he's the #2 on his current team.

I said this the other day, people really struggle to differentiate the difference between a #1 in real life football and in fantasy football.

No, Higgins is not a #1 WR in fantasy football, just a high end #2.

But there are 32 teams in the NFL, to think Higgins isn't AT WORST a Top 20 WR and quite probably a Top 15 is just people kidding themselves.  And any WR in the Top 20 in today's NFL is easily a #1 WR, with Higgins likely solidly in the Top 15 at the position, it's clear as day that he's a #1.

In the 4 weeks that Chase was out injured last season, Higgins had 26 catches, for 371 yards and 2 TDs.  Extrapolated out across 17 games, thats 110 catches for 1,576 yards, and 8.5 TDs.  That would have been good for 3rd in both catches and yards in the league last season.

In what world are those NOT #1 WR numbers?

Higigns is legit and I hope we bust down his door handing him a contract next offseason if the bengals don't re-sign him.

I'm definitely not against it, I just hope that when the time comes, we don't feel the need to do that and can use that money elsewhere.

There is a very real possibility that Mingo shows #1 potential by the end of the year, if he does that and TMJ has his best year yet, I think we could look at them as the Top 2 next year and put that $15-20 million towards another need.

The other problem with going after him is that it seems very unlikely that he'll ever hit unrestricted FA.  Unless the Bengals need to use their franchise tag on someone else, I'd be shocked to see them let him walk away for free, they'll tag him to be able to trade him for a good draft pick.

I don't really want to have to give up our 2nd rounder and then give him a $20 million a year deal on top of it, not when we're already lacking draft picks at the moment.

Just bc ur the top wr on your teams depth chart doesn’t mean you’re a true wr1. Was ted Ginn a wr1? Nothing to do with fantasy. Higgins would be a solid, not good, wr1

edit: I just reread my original comment and realized I never even mentioned this wr1 thing. You just made up an argument lmao

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      By PadresPanthersFan · Posted

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
