Panthers Drop Rod Like He's Hot

I still don't quite understand the hate for McCants. I mean of course he wasn't a gamebreaker, but he was a decent 3rd or 4th receiver. He produced far more than Jacobs ever has, and he was cheaper and picked deeper in the draft. I'm not sure what everyone expected from him.

Nobody hates him, but at the same time we just don't understand the love for him. He had a couple of good games, he had 6 TD's one year. That's great, but not exactly a guy we miss in the least bit. Especially for the $$ he was being paid here.

He hasn't been able to stick with a depleted WR corps. in Philly, that doesn't say very much for him.

You said it yourself, he's a 3rd or 4th WR. I'd say he's closer to a 4th now. And most #4 guys are pretty interchangeable.

I liked McCants for the same reason people like Betts. He was a Washington draft pick, that occasionally show signs of promise. He was by no means a game breaker, but he was a decent red zone target. And with the numbers all of the receivers, not named Moss have put up, he might have been a nice change of pace for Brunell, at 6'3" and 214 lbs.
