...

Greg Olsen (816 yards) was the leading receiver

...

You'd think Carolina saw Calvin Johnson and Brandon Marshall depart the way Ted Ginn (556 yds) and Brandon LaFell (627 yds) are breathlessly mentioned as losses. Enter Kelvin Benjamin , Jerricho Cotchery and Jason Avant.

...

For as great a leader as Steve Smith was/is, and for as much as he was the face of the franchise, adding 6'5" Benjamin and sneaky touchdown machine Cotchery (10 touchdowns last year!) will make this a more dynamic, efficient and flat-out better unit in 2014.

As a whole, I expect the unit to be better.  But, with that said, it still wouldn't surprise me if Olsen is our leading receiver again.  As long as the offense as a whole is getting the job done, I have no problem with that.  No one seems to have a problem with Jimmy Graham being the Saints' leading receiver.  No one seems to have a problem with the Saints not having a single WR go for over 1000 yards last season.  But, everyone is losing their minds over the Panthers' WRs.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
