Sorenson Wants Wr, Blackmon

[top dawg]

You seem to be arguing which one of them is better which wasn't the original argument. Right now Lafell is a good number 2/3 WR. That is supported by his play his first two seasons. Hogan having the potential to be a starter doesn't change the fact that he has played in 3 games and is a much bigger mystery than Lafell.

My argument was about each guy's potential at their respective positions (and their relevant value in reference to the team, to break it down even further).

Next you'll be telling me that just because Blackmon hasn't played a snap in the NFL and Lafell has two seasons under his belt, than Blackmon is more of a mystery than LaFell at WR. I suppose that Andrew Luck is more of a mystery at QB than Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert or Andy Dalton. College careers do stand for something. Sometimes eyes don't lie.

In any event, it's all just opinion.

Well considering all those things are true. Lafell as I said is a good 2/3 WR. What exactly can you say for a fact about Blackmon besides his potential?

[top dawg]

Potential means a lot, especially when it comes to WRs who probably have the least learning curve in reference to transitioning from college to the pros. A beast of a WR in college translates well into the NFL, and even the marginally good ones in college don't bust.

Blackmon is a first round talent. How can you possibly argue anything different? LaFell, so far, has been exactly what he is supposed to be, but not what some hoped that he would be.

Where did I argue different? Lafell being exactly what he is supposed to be just proves my point, he isn't a mystery.

Wr having the least learning curve are you serious ? How long have you been watching football? Oh and to help you out rb and guards have the least learning curve.

The mystery is whether he has the skill set/upside that would make us roll the dice and pass on Blackmon, if Blackmon were available at number 9. This is where the whole argument really began.

OK, whatever you say coach. Run a crisp route, and catch the ball. You know exactly where you are going every time, and sometimes you may even have to worry about a pass rusher, stunts, and everything else that the O-line and RBs have to consume themselves with, lest their QB end up on his ass. Not to mention that at many times, RBs and TEs do great impressions of a WR as well.

[Hairless Cat]

Of course the Panthers need defense more than they need offense. Because Brandon Hogan, a fourth-round pick out of West Virginia last year, has the talent to start this season opposite Chris Gamble at cornerback, they especially need a defensive tackle and a defensive end.

Im glad someone other than me thinks we dont need another cb with Hogan waiting in the wings

Do you know what a route tree is and how long it takes to learn. Or how you have to be inches with your cuts or going in and out of breaks. Not to mention learning how to get off the line of scrimage beating a zone know all the 100ths of coverages a defense has or even hot reads and audbles. You have to learn before just catching a ball. Do you even watch football?

Nah, I don't watch it. Didn't play DE or TE when I was a kid either.

[koolkatluke]

I believe that.

Tom Sorensen is a dumbass.

yep especially when he said rastling and the putput championship was bigger and more awesome then the Canes winning the Stanley Cup!

What about Dwayne Jarrett and Ray ray Curuth,they didn't pan out but were great in college!

[raleigh-panther]

Blackmon won't be there at 9.

If it is felt he is close to Johnson in ability, then the Panthers should go get him unless there is some raising player in 2013 draft they are in love with.

We have no WRs on this team, save Steve Smith, that comes close to Blackmon...not even in the same discussion.

If they want to trade up and get him, I would not have a problem with it, not that my opinion matters.

[I am Hubby]

Like I said NE got the TE but other then Welker who are you taking over lafell and Gettis right now?

Ocho (did he catch a ball this year) Branch (isn't he older then smith) Loyld (now I like loyld but he's older now to.)

Then The Lions

You Have Megatron and ????????

TE Pettigrew

WR Burleson

WR Young

Those three combined for over 2100 yards. So I would say the Lions are just fine thank you.
