Cotchery/Underwood > LaFell/Ginn

[Gin and Juice]

Its wishful thinking to call Underwood an upgrade over Ginn. He 's never had 450+ receiving yards in a season and doesn't return kicks or punts well.

440 and 425 isn't close enough? With constant improvement each year? Hate to break it to you but Ginn was deemed crap when we signed him last year

Benjamin/Cooks/Matthews/OBJ - please!

[TheNewStandard]

Based on athleticism and measurables I think this is true. If these guys can go out there and make catches where LaFell and Ginn had drops, it'll be settled.

I'm wanting to see how McNutt Balls...ahem...

Srsly though, Marvin is an x-factor that could make some noise when all this shakes out.

As a receiver, but not on special teams, at least if you look at their careers before Carolina.

I think Barner will come into his own on ST

I like both signings, but we have no way of knowing this until the games are played. We still need a #1 caliber WR. Last year we also actually had a return game to speak of, we need to address that too, and no I am not referring to Barner. He isn't ready.

Not really, no. If he's better than Ginn he'd be playing better than him.

Cotchery and Underwoodd will likely be the 3 and 4 if you consider Olsen's role in the passing game.

So was Smith so we just need to find a #2

I'm more interested in finding a 1 with Olsen as the 2.

underwood > ginn how?

Same thing I have been wondering...at the most I could see it being equal.

Did Ginn even return a kick last season when it mattered? 

 

 

 

 

I can only speak for myself, but i think a lot of us are excited because this reminds me a lot of the Ginn signing last season. Both came in here, unproven. Ginn barely saw the field for two seasons before he revived his career. I just feel there is a lot of potential in this guy, and we got him for cheap. But those who are hesitant are correct. This guy hasn't proven he is better than Ginn, and may very well fade and not contribute.

 

I believe Gettleman sees something in this guy, and I trust his judgement. He has had success last year with these kind of acquisitions

I think you will like Underwood.  He rarely played, but he had some talent.  He is a good personality too.
