It's funny how people say we lost all of our receivers as if they were good, but then in the Ravens season preview they mention how Smitty probably doesn't have much left in the tank.

So did we lose a good player or didn't we?

we lost a pretty good player who used to be elite, but was now at the end of his career and is more likely to be found scuffling with a DB than scoring a TD.

Change is scary. Plus here's standard national reporter logic on the Panthers:

 

"Is there anything I can say about Cam that would be polarizing? No... Damn. Okay, well let me just rehash what other people have said because why would I spend time learning about a small market team anyway?"

 

Since Gantt covered us, he actually knows what he's talking about even if he is a dick at least 27 percent of the time.

Last year was one of those "special" years, not many people expected much from the Panthers, especially after the 0-2 start. Bounces started going our way and players started believing they could win, instead of expecting to lose. 

 

It's possible this team could be just as good as last year, if we can fix the problems at tackle and our offense can produce against the elite defenses on our schedule.

      Defensive Tackle: The Need that Shall Not be Named

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Great post! Now that I think on it, I think D line might be our biggest need. We are one player away from having a potential disastrous defensive line. Brown and Wharton struggled last year and Wharton has really only been a rotational player that specializes in one thing. Can we count on him being a full time starter? Jackson is unproven. Do you want a starting defensive line of Wharton, Brown and Jackson? I don’t want to risk it.   I honestly don’t think linebacker is that big of a need. If Rozeboom ends up coming back then why get a LB?   games are won in the trenches and I would honestly prefer us drafting an offensive or defensive linemen over any other position in the first. The prospect you mentioned seems like a good prospect who has had some good production as well. Only problem is defensive line is a position that can take time for a player to develop. Will whoever we draft be ready this season ?

      Have they though? I'll give you KC with Kelce, but c'mon, they weren't winning those SB's because they had a great TE, it was a combination of Mahomes and some great defenses.  Will also give you the 49ers and Ravens with Kittle and Andrews, but even then, both have missed time with injuries the last few years. After those 3 teams, the best teams of the last 2-3 years have not had elite TEs The Eagles had Goedert, he's good, not great. The Bills have also had good but not great TE's The Rams have had average TEs and still consistently run 2 and 3 TE sets with them and still win. The Bucs have been winning the South without a great TE The Lions' Laporta is more a name than a highly productive TE. The Texans have had a serviceable TE in Shultz, but nothing too amazing. Some of the best TE's in the league the last few years have been on some of the worst teams.  McBride, Bowers, Warren, Njoku, even Pitts this past year. A true elite TE is absolutely a weapon in today's game, but I think the best teams use that money elsewhere and find serviceable TE play, usually through a committee where each TE brings something else to the table.
