Well, we don't have a slot.  That's like calling Miles Sanders a receiving RB.  You can throw him the ball.  He can catch it.  But that's not what he is.  Theilen isn't a good slot WR.   We just play him there.  He is slow.  He has zero YAC. 

Mike Williams is older.  He is a short term rental.   Why would signing him or Dionte Johnson who likely a one and done move.....prevent us from actually attempting to solve our massive WR hole in the big picture. 

this is a deep and good WR class and we need WRs. 

So you rather spend money on lesser players in FA to fill the other holes?

 

Mike Williams is probably the BPA right now.

 

If we going to spend money I would probably take the BPA. 

 

Clowney and Young aren't coming here for cheap they could go to a contender if that's the case.

I'd like us to draft a WR or even two in a deep WR class.  We need long term solutions.  I'd rather spend the remaining FA money in the trenches.

Drafting 2 WRs in this draft and missing on both would be the most Panthers thing ever.

30 is not old for a WR. Man why do you guys do this every year. We need a upgrade at WR. Nobody wants to see Mingo and TMJ again. Get guys that can play regardless of age.

 

We are the laughing stock of the league we gotta start acquiring talent!

I hear you but I'd rather put that into a TE honestly. We've got Ian Thomas Tommy Tremble and who?

see, I think this is back to getting caught up in our reoccurring issue.  The whole rebuilding yet win now team approach we have been every season since Tepper bought the team.  What are we. 

We need young WR talent.  Heck, we need offensive skill talent. This is the draft to add it. 

and if you want to land good vets down the road and not overpay? Well, the first thing to being attractive is a successful and good offensive outlook.   It's an offensive league.   Folks got to start thinking they can come here and win.  I just think young offensive talent should be the focus.  Even if the D goes backwards in the short term.

He would be a significant upgrade if we could convince him to come back home.

He has been unlucky with injuries the last few seasons, but that's an outlier for his career thus far. 

 

Looking at his games played is not a good way of judging his health, as the Chargers have had a history in recent years of playing him while not fully healthy and using him mainly as decoy knowing he wasn't able to do what he normally does.  He also has a history of being able to play in games but get pulled early because he gets banged up, but is able to get back out there the following week at less than 100%.

Remove his rookie season where he was barely used and this past season when he got hurt in the 3rd game and he's played 75 career games, but has 26 games with 2 or less catches out of those 75 (the number goes way up if you use his rookie season where he barely played).

And unlike someone like Jeudy who I was strongly against, who put up bad stat lines because he just isn't that good, most of those games where he only had 1 or 2 catches were because he was out there more as a decoy due to being banged up.

He's someone who if we were a contending team, yea, I'd be all for throwing a sizable contract at him and hoping he can stay healthy and put us over the top.  But since we're not, the contract it will take to sign him is too big of a risk for a team that needs to use it's money to build a base, not find a final piece to the puzzle.

He's a great player when healthy, and kudos to him for being a tough guy who can at least suit up when he's banged up, but he's just an injury prone player.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.

      Mustard BBQ sauce only. Bessingers or Melvin's BBQ sauce.  However Bessingers is the best in the world, Melvin is 2nd.    I found this article    In fact, the New York Times Magazine described the sauce as “terrifically balancing the tangs of mustard and vinegar with a wood fire's charry flavor.” While helping his dad, Joseph “Big Joe” Bessinger, as a teenager in the kitchen of the family's first restaurants, Thomas learned the secret recipe for the gold sauce – ... https://www.bessingersbbq.com › t...
