Solid But Unspectacular

   Coming into the week Vanderbilt WR Jordan Matthews was widely considered to be the top prospect at his position in the game with an outside shot at sneaking into the back end of round one. Matthews hasn’t been awful by any stretch of the imagination but he hasn’t had the type of big week that most were expecting either. The best way to describe Matthews’ performance might be solid but unspectacular. With that said it’s not like Matthews has done anything to damage his stock either. Even though Matthews hasn’t been a dynamic playmaker in practice he's still caught the attention of evaluators with his dogged work ethic. Not only did Matthews specifically request tape on the cornerbacks that he would be facing in Mobile before arriving but he has also been seen putting in extra work both before and after the practices. It’s not often that you see such a professional approach from a young player. With impeccable intangibles like that it should come as no surprise to hear Matthews' cousin is the great Jerry Rice, whose dedication to his craft is legendary.

I would take Allen Robinson over Matthews easily

 

 

Allen is a better athlete then Jordan.hand size is about the same, but Allen has more wiggle and YAC ability.

 

 

Agreed. He's my #2 guy right now behind Watkins. Better speed, more elusive, and great feet. Not saying I'd be disappointed by Matthews, because I wouldn't lose sleep if he was drafted either.

It sounds as if he wont be wowing anyone at the combine given his average speed and athleticism. That could be good given he will definitely be there when we pick. I wonder who else might be at WR at 28. It sounds like he would be worth a pick at 28 but we might still get someone better if we go WR. He doesn't seem like he is a must have guy at 28 like Star was at 15 last year.

I am really, really high on this kid. When you consider what he was able to do with a horrible QB and no other credible receiving threats against the top defenses in college football, you drool. I honestly think he'll be a better pro than Watkins. There... I said it.

What you know is that he will work his tail off and understands what he needs to do in order to be successful. If he works half as hard as his uncle did he will be giving 100% all the time meaning we wont to worry about heart or desire. I think he would be a solid guy and wont make you sorry you picked him. I wonder if he will be the BPA at wide receiver at that point.

      High look overview...

      By musicman · Posted

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.

      Canes vs Panthers(Back to Back Games Thread)

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
