    That one’s going to happen. They’re just waiting for the right time to spring it on STD.

    Martavis if he stayed off the weed, Diontae and Pickens are good NFL receivers.

    I may be wrong on the valuation of the DJ trade.

    Matt Williamson with DK sports reported this morning that he believes when the final trade numbers come out that Carolina will be picking up about half of Jackson's salary with Pittsburgh. He said there is no way the Steelers would have traded away DJ and not received more in return. Jackson has a $4 million roster bonus due on March 16th, so maybe Carolina will be picking that up.

    You can pretty much go look at the rosters of the 31 other NFL teams and find guys just as good if not better. We are currently, no better than anyone else at developing wide receivers. If anything were middle of the pack.

    If we are fortunate to grab Z Frazier, our center position
    will be better than it has been in 6 years.

    I agree---we scratched back to 24-17 against Bills in Buffalo--our strongest playoff performance in years--would've been a great time for a 3-and-out or turnover. But gave up TD to end it. Mason and the O were getting it going---then all our LBs and safeties got hurt.

    Johnson was like about the 50th rated receiver

    That is not a good receiver

    They do a pretty good job of drafting receivers considering they don't use first round picks on them.

    I kinda agree. Hell we can use DJ as part of this. Look at all the Wrs everyone mentioned, and then look at them without Ben....only a very few of them looked good without him.....including DJ. His numbers dropped as soon as Ben retired.

    I’ve been on this board for 12 years

    Go ahead and see if you can find a single fact that I quoted that is not correct

    Go ahead I’ll wait

    And when you have been on this board longer than me we can talk
