Re: Panthers trade for Raiders' WR, Louis Murphy
LOL......perhaps we should just wait and see what Jones does on the field - heck, even ONE TC practice - before we make any declarations about the signing - one way or another.
Murphy was available for only a "conditional late round pick", while Jones was fairly coveted as a FA. In the end, maybe Murphy will prove to be better, but it's waaaaay too early to make any such pronouncements about which one would have been a better signing.

Re: Panthers trade for Raiders' WR, Louis Murphy
Have to agree with Ravor. Jones might just suprise us.

Re: Panthers trade for Raiders' WR, Louis Murphy
I'm not real high on the Jacoby signing, but maybe he'll pan out in Baltimore. Who knows. I doubt it...but I've been wrong before.

Re: Panthers trade for Raiders' WR, Louis Murphy
Im not ready to call Jones a bust by any means, but if youre asking me who id rather have, its Murphy, and thats even considering wed have to used a pick for him. He has the same big play potential but surer hands and is more consistent. Coming from a team with a not so good passing attack he stood out vs Jones coming from a great offense and never standing out. Doesnt mean Jones cant be good here but without a doubt i would have rather had Murphy.

Re: Panthers trade for Raiders' WR, Louis Murphy
The #3 WR in this offense is really like the 6th option anyway so it really doesn't matter who it is.

Re: Panthers trade for Raiders' WR, Louis Murphy
Lots of Raiders fans seem to suggest that Murphy, while capable of running deep routes, has so-so hands and is not good in traffic. Of course, the same may be said of Jacoby Jones. If given the choice today, I'd take Murphy, but I think it's a close enough call that we can wait to see how it plays out before getting too upset.

Re: Panthers trade for Raiders' WR, Louis Murphy
Cam has to be loving this trade. Now he's got two legit deep threats.
