Lee Evans

I am not sure we need to go outside the organization to replace Gettis. Just last week we brought in Naanee because nobody had stepped up at the #2. Frankly, Naanee seems to be a steal to me; I think he will do better away from the WRs in SD.

Lafell needs to catch the damn ball. But Armanti and Pilares are having impressive camps. I see a dropoff in the deep threat opposite Smith, but do not forget we have a TE who is a deep threat. Naanee has better hands than Gettis and Lafell, gets better body position, and is a better blocker (than Gettis). Not too much of a drop off in talent, just a different skill set.

Save your draft picks, Hurney. If you make a trade, do it for a CB.

Before we call Armanti and Pilares anything other than flashing at camp (we have seen guys look good in TC and then nothing in real games for many seasons now) we need to see them actually play in games.

Remember Chud's system... play action passes and deep balls. A deep option is a must even for Jimmy in this system. Jimmy is going to have to learn to throw the deep ball or its over for him as long as Chud is here.

It was over the second they drafted Cam.

I say trade Everette brown and a 5th

The Bills would probably demand another pick just to take Everette Brown.

Lee Evens? Why not just bring in Jerry Rice or Stirling Sharpe. This guy is done. He is old. Don't give up anything for him other than maybe a 6th rounder or later.

[MadHatter]

if this is true, then it's just more fuel to the fire that they're going to start cam week 1.

You don't go out to replace your only real straight line burner if you're going to start Jimmy Clausen.

Deep 1 routes are relatively safe (throw it where only the receiver can grab it) and Cam has the strongest arm on the team.

Wow. Taking an unrelated point (replacing an injured WR with another WR of similar skills) and trying to make a direct correlation (ahh this must mean that Cam is starting).

If (and that is a big if) we get Evans, it makes Cam starting week 1 no more likely than before Gettis' injury. Replacing one fast WR with another.

I thought it was over for Jimmy the second we got Chud. His playing style has to do a complete 180

Are you kidding me? Everette Brown and a 5th? You can get a better WR in the 7th round alone... there are better undrafted options on the market. Armanti is a better option than Lee Evens.

That injured wide receiver offered something that no other WR on the team offers.

That injured wide receiver offered a very specific, very safe, very rookie friendly route that Cam should eventually excel at.

If you don't care about that 1 route, you don't immediately try to replace it.

The Panthers have hand crafted the entire starting offense to cater to Cam's youth and strengths. Going after Lee is what you'd expect to happen after losing their only burner.

I do see your point.

However, I don't think the correlation between the two is quite as strong as you do. But hey....I have been known to be wrong (quite often).

[HoFBound90]

Smith, Naane, and Evans would be a solid 3 wr set.

[Fiz]

get one of those undrafted FA wide receivers who've averaged 15+ ypc for their career.

yeah those just grow on trees.

Based on what?? Armanti has improved greatly over the offseason but he hasnt shown anything on the field. Game vs Training Camp are two different stories

stop using correlates, you're not using it correctly. I'm speaking about direct actions, not data. it might not be technically wrong but you sound like a pedantic ***.

and of course you're wrong, you're arguing with me.
