D. Newton: Rivera is right. We don't need a number 1 WR. / OK, OK...

[MHS831]

I want the kid from Indiana in the second or third round (Cody Latimer)

 

What was the topic?

 

I think Smitty was being paid as a #1 but there were signs that he could no longer fill that void.  

 

A true #1 is a player who produces even when the defense is constantly cheating to his side.  He opens things up for everyone else.  However, the fact that SF, Seattle, Carolina--the elite teams of the NFC--did not have one is interesting.  What they all had was a run-first offense and a good QB.

 

If you cannot run the ball, the absence of a top WR is more obvious.  For us, the fact that Cam is one of our leading rushers is perhaps not a healthy way to gauge our running attack.  We need to upgrade the OL considerably if we are going with WR by committee.

No No No, we need 1 Guy......10 Catches :rr:

So, you'd take McNutt, Cotchery, and underwood over megatron?

1. Matt Stafford

2. Calvin Johnson

3. ???

4. SUPERBOWL!

Right?

[panthers222]

If you look at the top WRs in the league http://www.nfl.com/fantasyfootball/rankings#tabset=pr-wr

There is only about 16 WR1 out there. That means roughly half of the teams out there don't have one. 

[Growl]

Did I say they were a good core?

And Megatron is #1 times 10. Teams have #1s that aren't superstars

Even then, I'd rather have 3 good, established, system WRs than one really good one. Spread the ball around

we don't have those.

[top dawg]

#1 receiver is as stupid and meaningless as "deep threat". You don't hire a #1 but somebody will become the leading receiver, which was a TE last season. Every receiver is a deep threat.

Greg Olsen is not a deep threat, nor is he going to take us to the promised land. If Greg Olsen and a wide-out corps like we had in 2013 is the best we ever have to offer, then we'll continue getting what we're getting. We fell short for a reason.

I will say this....

 

A good front 7 made journeyman and backup CB's safeties look like all pro's.

 

A good OL would do the same thing for our WR's.  

 

Gettleman is right.  You wan't consistency you build from the inside out.

 

 

[top dawg]

We need consistent play makers on the field. We need guys that will strike fear in opposing defenses, or guys who will---at the very least---sneak up on and burn an opposing defense while it is preoccupied elsewhere. I don't give a poo what number you classify them as, but that's what we need. Sent from my SGH-T989 using CarolinaHuddle mobile app

I really wish folks would stop acting as if there is only one way to win in the NFL: the Seahawks way.

 

The Broncos came within one game of winning it all this year and next year they will be favored to compete again. If the Broncos win the SB this year, the next off season everyone will be like:

 

OMG, we need to best offense to win

OMG, we need a star QB in which the offense revolves around

OMG, we need to grab the best free agents

OMG, we need an amazing WR core with a No. 1 WR

OMG, we need a NFL Head Coach not college one

OMG, we don't need an amazing defense

OMG, its okay to spend 1/3 of our cap on the QB position alone

and on and on...

 

Just two short seasons ago everyone was certain the only way to win a SB was to have a superstar QB in a high octane offense with talent everywhere on offense. Everyone said that college coaches couldn't win in the NFL and that you could win with a subpar defense.

 

Now folks act like ONLY the Seahawks way is the only way to win. Because the Seahawks had this...well we must have that...because the Seahawks didn't have that...well we don't need it either.

 

The Seahawks will try to cover up any weaknesses they have and get better. If Carroll sees he has a whole in the WR core, he will TRY to fill it...not because he necessarily wants his offense to turn into the Broncos but because he realizes the less weaknesses his team has the better chance for victory.

 

This nonsense that it is okay to have a glaring, gigantic hole at WR position and its okay to not TRY to fix it as best as possible within the cap and draft restraints we have-- is all kinds of stupid. If the Seahawks have a glaring, gigantic hole ANYWHERE on their rosters, within the cap and draft restraints, best believe they will TRY to fix it with the best personnel possible.

and it s nonsense (your word), to believe that Gettleman isn't going to fix the team needs to best of the teams ability.

[Luke59foLife]

It's going to be a mess next year. Right now we have one proven number three, and a bunch of possible fours.

[Ruff]

This is a stupid question.

A better one would be would you rather have AJ Green or Cam Newton.

The question was posed in a vacuum, in the context of "multiple random scrub WRs or a playmaker".

Never said anything different. I implied the attitude of Panther's fan base was to be "okay" with not attempting/trying to improve each aspect of the team.

 

I certainly hope it is Gettleman's goal to fix each area of weakness by making the best moves...or not making a move at all..

Gettleman's first focus this season is to fix the cap situation.....why is it so damn hard for you idiots to understand this.

 

He is NOT going to restructurie contracts and push more cap hell into the next two years....when next year's position may actually be worse than this season.

 

He is going to ensure we lock up our young talent....supplement that short term with bargain players with something to prove....work to rid the team of bad contracts over the next two seasons...and set up the Panthers for long-term success.

 

Problem is that the avg huddle on here is a 15yo kid with zero understand of finances or budget constraints.
