Carolina Panthers Sign Tiquan Underwood

[Smithers]

I really like this signing.  He has speed and better hands than Ginn.  He has returned kicks before, so we may try him in that role as well.  Either way, he replaces Ginn, and Cotchery replaces Lafell.  Now we just need a # 1 and we are all set.

I've warmed up to Cooks, but he isn't falling to 28, he probably isn't going past the Steelers and DEFINITELY won't make it past the Jets.

You never know... Plus a lot of people are forgetting about Marquis Lee, he didn't have a great year but I'm guessing a lot of teams still have him graded over Cooks due to last years performance. Currently Cooks is slotted as the fifth best receiver, he may be someone else's #1 but I don't buy five receivers being drafted before 28.

[Lemory]

He is every bit the WR that Ginn was....that is the point.

 

We still need a #1...but we have definitely shored up the #2 and #3 positions. 

 

Cotchery/Underwood is probably better than LaFell/Ginn

 

No that's not possible because Gettleman doesn't know what he's doing.

Awesome! Now just sign Cason and slight possibly get D Jax and draft O line with half our picks and we are SB bound. Im liking this move

[Cpt slay a ho]

sign britt so at least we have a guy who COULD play our #2 or 1, then draft the best ot at 28, and draft a wr in the 2nd or double dip at OT

 

 

i like the signing but both guys ceiling is a #2 at best

What hell is this?  You guys are rejoicing over Tiquan Underwood?  Low standards around here these days.

 

Just a piece to the puzzle. Look at the skill set and the potential.

Before Underwood came to the Bucs, I remember him being on the Patriots for their 2011 Super Bowl season and he was cut the day before the Super Bowl. Guess he wants to come to Charlotte and not just play in one, but win it too.

If he can match last years production this a great deal.  The upside is there as well.  Young elite caliber athlete with some NFL experience at a low cost.

 

With very modest projections:

Underwood - 40 rec 450 yards

Cotchery - 50 rec 500 yards

 

We are already almost with in 1000 yards of last years WR production.  Projecting Olsen to finish above his 816 yards receiving total as a potential primary target would leave around 800-900 yards to be found between McNutt/King/Pilares/Clemons/Webb/B.Williams/FAs/Draft Picks.  The situation was never as dire as perceived by many. 

[Mr. Scot]

No too shabby... Draft Lyerla in the 6th and Cam will definitely have some nice weapons.

Isn't Lyerla the guy who acted like an ass about the Connecticut school shootings?

[doogy]

Deep threat. Not a bad signing at all

[Kuech the Sneak]

Nice, not bad

[countryboi]

eh...he is ok i was hoping for britt. now underwood and britt I can get behind that

[Kuech the Sneak]

Lets get a couple corners now

Isn't Lyerla the guy who acted like an ass about the Connecticut school shootings?
