The wide receiver position...

...reminds me of 2007.

steve smith is WR1 and WR2 is a battle between mainly colbert and carter - one guy who was drafted with high expectations and never really panned out, another guy who was brilliant at times but couldn't remain consistent. neither did anything in camp to impress, and the regular season's offense was similar.

are jarrett/lafell/moore significantly different?

I dunno what was wrong with Colbert but Carter never learned how to run routes.

carter always caught the impossible ones - backwards, one-handed twirling catches on 3rd down. then he'd drop a six-yard lob right in the numbers. inconsistent

Possibly. The way I see it...

Jarrett won't do much this season, but he won't suck either.

Kenny Moore will be the #3 for a while.

Edwards will never fully develop into a WR.

LaFell will be an average #2, on par with Jarrett but will be kept instead of Jarrett.

Either way, an average #2 will be found this season.

There is a 96% chance that I'm completely wrong, though.

I don't understand, when people on here talk about, OMG!! who is our WR2??We already have a guy on our team that is a damn good receiver and can run good routes and can catch the deep ball. Dante Rosario, anyone? I mean. often then not, doesn't he make pretty solid catches and moves upfield good? Me and a couple of my buddies have agreed on that for awhile now.

What has the guy not done to make himself seem like a viable WR threat? We have 2 very capable TE's, with him being the third. I havent worried about the WR position at all, because I know he is gonna get his share of catches.

Also, I think the TE's are going to be used for more than just blocking this year.....anyone else agree? The good thing about Matt is, he is not afraid to evenly distribute the ball.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
