Braylon Edwards to the Panthers???

[R0CKnR0LLA]

I'll repost this from the other thread just in case anyone has any doubts.

Edwards has by far the worst catch per thrown to percentage of any #1 WR in the NFL. Look at the top WRs, they all have percentages in the 60-70% range, Edwards is 39%. Here's a comparison to Smitty from 2008.

Edwards, Thrown to: 138 - Catches: 55 - Percentage: 39%

Smitty, Thrown to: 129 - Catches: 78 - Percentage: 60%

Ah yes. A WR who yearns for the bright lights and big city ends up in Charlotte playing on a run happy team. Hilarity ensues.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

LOL Moose has a 60% catch rate as well, so if all three saw the same number of passes both Smitty and Moose would catch over 50% more balls than Edwards. Consider that Edwards YPC is marginally better than Moose's (15.8 compared to 14.2) and I don't think I'd even want him as our #2 WR, much less be willing to give up draft picks to get him.

Also, I'll believe that 1st round offer from an "undisclosed team" when I see the deal finalized. I think that "report" is probably just the Browns attempt to inflate their asking price for him.

we don't have enough cap room to sign any of the 100s of random dumbasses in this forum, much less Braylon Edwards.

Well Charlotte has to become a big money market one day right?! If I'm any kind of businessman, looking 10-15 years down the road - if we're going to become a Pittsburgh like team - we're going to have to bring in caliber players who will demand the spot light and make plays! We have to remember sometimes as we're looking for players who supposely fit that "mode" - that football is still and always will be a business.

Pittsburgh has always been a run first team. But also has a passing game to match. Not to mention a taunting defense. We need to develop our defense and passing game as well if we're going to be anywhere near where Pittsburgh is.

Adding another WR wouldn't help much when we have Sir Picksalot at QB.

[BleedingBlackNBlue]

Not saying Braylon Edwards is our answer but what I'm saying is I wouldn't mind vaulting our passing offense in pursuit of improving our defense.

Right, we don't have an elite QB like Brady or Manning so we might as well cut all our WRs. See ya later Smitty and Moose. We're a run first team anyway. Just line up with DWill, Hoover and 9 offensive linemen. We'll call it the Jakesuxballz formation.

Could work.

Yea considering Jake is one of the worst starting QBs in the NFL. Definatley in the 20s.

[AKPantherFan]

you know what, no matter how much Delhomme has underachieved at times.

I will always enjoy looking back and remembering all the times he overachieved.

You realize I was being sarcastic right? Please go back to your smack thread about how the Bucs will be better than us next year after losing their head coach, DC, starting QB and missing the playoffs by losing to the Raiders.

actually we're going to have to cut you to make room.

addition by subtraction really

[Lone Buc Fan]

Yea, because Jake is such a awesome starter. I mean, barely throwing more touchdowns then interceptions and having as many turnovers in one game that Jeff Garcia had all year lol... Righto
