Return Specialists...

I wouldnt care if he could play another position. If we draft this guy we are set at both KR and PR. I think he could end up being another Michael Bates or better. All Panther fans know we havent had a good returner ever since he left...besides Mark Jones.

one reason we've never had a good returner is because we've never pursued one.

We either looked for scraps from the bottom of the barrel or drafted one low.

I don't expect us to grab a WR or CB based on his return skills unless it's low. Early on we won't care about guys like Jacoby Ford or Mardy Gilyard unless we like them as receivers.

QB, RS, and S, we always seem to try to find the diamonds in the rough at these position.

I really hope we draft this guy especially if we trade down and trade next years first again. That'll be 10 picks? Yeah we better persue a returner with that many picks.

I do to I hate how they seem to just be so stubborn about certain positions. I forgot we do the same with TE too.

You could argue that they've just never had a guy they've like at QB, RS, S, or TE but it sure seems like they have certain principles about the resources they devote to certain position.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
