His production in college doesn’t matter. He regressed in Carolina and they moved on. We traded for him in hopes he could be our WR2. I would have been okay with the trade for a 6th or 7th but we overpaid.
I mean if you think trading a 4th round pick for the Panthers backup WR (he had been beaten out of the starting lineup by a practice squad player) is a good trade then I am sure there are no shortage of teams who would gladly part ways with their failed backups for a 4th.
I think that there is nothing wrong with trading for Mingo. We will see what happens, these receivers will be in a battle to get on the field.
I don't think it was a bad trade because I don't value a 4th round pick worth 66 points.
the only thing I can say about Mingo in the NFL is that he's not really had a legit go of things with a legit QB throwing to him.
He is going to be a 3 way battle for the number 4 WR spot. His best case this year is the number 4 WR. By the way a 31% catch percentage is abhorrent no matter who is throwing you the football. I would expect practice squad WRs to catch more than 40% of balls thrown their way. At least with Pickens being on the lower end you can say its because he is a big play guy so being under 60% is, almost, explainable. Mingo does not have that excuse as he averaged under 10 yards a catch with basically no ability to catch.
I agree, but in a watered down league, anything can happen if you can compete. I still have the terrible taste in my mouth after being fed lies last year time and time again about being all in. Think about it, they purposely let a hc,most of the staff, the fans, the team, suffer due to the GB game and how we lost. The most selfish cringey thing Jerry has ever done while owning the team was what we witnessed in 2024. He now wants us to love him lol...he created the problem, rides in on his white horse, attempts to fix the problems HE CREATED, knowingly. This is why fans have serious doubts about anything we do. Good or bad. I understand it completely. I'm cautiously optimistic.
and he wont be one of them. Please tell me ur gonna give up 60+% completion rate to someone like Turpin for Mingos 38%
why? he has 0 TDs in three years. was 6th on his team among WRs and 10th in recieving. he couldn't even get an accidental TD in 51 games in NFL.
Mingo has had 0 TDs in three years in the league. that is a ZERO.
they aren't good neither.
Schoonmaker
that's what you think. everyone would say that team was stupid and the teams fans would say that was stupid.
so when we lose games 35-31....whose fault is that?
but what if, instead of trading for a player that sucks. known to have sucked. we used it to trade up and get a good player in the 2nd!!! wouldn't that be better?
