Panthers may cut entire WR squad not named Smith...

[Proudiddy]

Well, reports from minicamp were that Armanti was making incredible catches and moves as a WR. BUT, it's a totally different game with pads on and live hits.

I really hope he steps up b/c he has many of the tools that we were looking for with a guy like Golden Tate... That's who I wanted us to get as well. But, if Edwards can figure out the route running, I think we should be good.

As far as LaFell, I just don't know. There's no excuse to be that big and not be able to catch the ball consistently.

What I do know is that we have tons of young talent at the WR position, but as it stands right now, all that talent is potential untapped - and that doesn't translate to productivity.

Jordan Shipley > LaFail

Just sayin...

[Proudiddy]

not even smith is immune... he was totally slacking off.

:iagree:Yeah walking around like he's too good to go out there and snag a couple of balls down with his broken forearm... What does he want? The guys to put on flags and YMCA t-shirts. I'm disappointed in his effort.

Sorry I like Edwards and all but no way is he even on the same level as Tate. Tate has the catching and leaping ability of a great WR and power and agility of a RB. Maybe with a lot of work (both on the field and with coaches, and some serious time in the weight room) he might be were Tate is now. I would put money on Tate becoming a beast. If only he would stay away from the late night doughnut runs.

slj?

atm?

ZFM :party:

i think fiz was saying that the #2 WR has been on the team and his name is dante rosario.

gary barnidge is a really good receiver and jeff king is pretty stinkin reliable.

we could do worse than having to rely on those guys. all of our RBs are decent receivers as well.

just use them more.

Still talking about Tate? Damn. The draft was almost 3 months ago! Let it go already.

Well, that's why I said the guys we brought in our talented but nothing but untapped potential at this point. Edwards is learning a new position and LaFell can't get out of his own way with drops.

I meant in terms of open field ability and speed, Tate and Edwards are comparable... But, in terms of overall ability as of right now (size/strength/positional skill) Tate clearly is better than Edwards. I just hope Edwards can get up on that level by season's end, the sooner the better though...

guess when zod says that is all he means it

lulz. no WRs, that's just as crazy as me saying we should get rid of our entire defensive line and just have linebackers up front.

Eh, at least use one down lineman, Greg Hardy is going to be a beast. Mark my words.

It seems like just yesterday that Rosario was a go-to target in the 2008 season opener in SD, not to mention grabbing the game winner. I for one thought he would see an increased role in the passing game, but it seemed to go in the other direction.

[Footballinsiders]

I didnt get why the Panthers drafted Clausen when Golden Tate was there. The guys the Panthers drafted all are guys that can help, but not at the level of Tate.
