The next Drew Carter...

[Peppermint9030]

At this point nobody knows what Gettis is going to do including himself. All people can speculate and predict which gives you bragging rights if you are right and is quickly forgotten if you were wrong.

Will Gettis be better than Carter. I surely hope so and would expect folks to feel the same way if they are Panther fans. Why in the world would anyone want him to fail or to even compare him with a player that struggled until there is a modicum of reason to do so.

As for Drew Carter, I liked him and was disappointed he never developed. Hopefully with a new staff of offensive coaches and a better deep passer at quarterback, Gettis will become a great receiver for us.

Thats my point so do you let that prevent you from drafting Blackmon or Floyd?

after blackmon there isn't really a whole lot of seperation in the level of talent between the next 4 or 5 WRs available.

this is a pretty solid class of WRs overall. we wouldn't need to draft one at 8/9 to get a quality one. if we can trade back and pick up an extra pick or two i wouldn't completely hate the idea of drafting a WR. mohammed sanu is someone who could fit the bill quite nicely.

that said, college is cranking out some good WRs lately. imo, we can afford to wait a year before we draft our next WR1. we got by with what we had and cam still threw for over 4000 yards and a respectable amount of TDs and that was with what many believe is a sucky WR corps (or at least acting like it was).

there are bigger needs that need addressed now than drafting someone that we hope can take smity's place in a couple years.

Rivera isn't that high on him, because he struggled a bit in camp.

Where in the world did you get that BS. The whole staff was high on him during camp untill his injury.

why would anyone want to be called the next drew carter? skinny with bad hands, bad knees and a failed actor.

Not really. Rivera basically said Lafell and Gettis needed to step it up.
