Why are there so many threads on Cam and the offense when our Defense is playing so bad?

BEcause the O has always been lackluster.

And because the D outside of two games have been dominant.

Benefit of doubt ring a bell?

There is no benefit of the doubt after giving up a 1,000 yards of offense and 60+ points in 2 games.

We put most of our resources into the defense not the offense.

We are suppose to be a defensive team not a offensive power house.

There is no excuse for the defense to be this bad.

Exactly, our defense is looking like a HUGE problem and we focused on it so much that it shouldn't be struggling like this.

I totally agree with you. But as I said, most of the problem isn't necessarily the defense. The offense is just as bad right now.

 

Absolutely. Who knows, maybe the defense is really not that bad. Maybe the ST and our offense is making them look worse than they really are.

 

But that is what you HAVE to expect when you ignore that side of the ball and pour all your heart into that side of the ball.

 

Denver's defense, it could be argued, was their problem in the Superbowl. HOWEVER, who cares?

 

Denver's offense (to even an lesser extent than the Panther's defense) is where a vast majority of the resources are dumped into.

 

Denver shall go nowhere (similar to the Panthers) if their offense doesn't produce.

 

Can't allocate that much of your draft and cap space to Denver's offense, and then complain about their defense.

Maybe in your world, but in real world yes they get the benefit of doubt. 

 

Now if it happens another 2 weeks in a row, well we might be on to something. 

 

Until then, the offense has been sucking since Chud left. They will get the brunt of the criticism.

or maybe because the qb position is the most scrutinized position in all of sports.

 

That is such a myth. It has always depended on who is the QB.

 

Still waiting for Luck to be scrutinized the way Cam has. They may throw a bucket of water on Luck every now and then but they make sure too dry him off with compliments. When it comes to Cam, they never stop opening up the hose on him. Then tell him he deserves it because it will make him better. These QBS in the NFL are not scrutinized equally. The blacks will always be seen as good for being black but they will NEVER be placed in the same category with the Peyton's, Brady's and  manufactured Luck's.

 

Also, it seems when it comes to you Panthers fans, some of u simply like echoing everything u hear and read from the media. U also seem to enjoy fixing what isn't always broken because it's easy. But is alway quick to either ignore or make excuses for what has been broken on this team for years.

The only reason why u feel that way is because your defense was so bad while Chud was the coach. This team offense was one person, Smitty. Everyone else didn't seem to know their role.

Defense has had more resources and is the focal point of the team. They get no pass from me with there play the past 2 games.

Where was this thread when the offense was racking up points and hoping the praying that the defense didn't squander it?

 

It comes to me as if u Panthers fans really don't know where ur team sit in this league. Every team needs to build both sides of the ball. Even if onside is a bit more dominant than the other. Of course everyone is going to say defense wins games because they are the ones who prevent the opposing team from scoring But the offense role is just as important because them scoring take some of the pressure off of their defense.

 

The Raven, Pitts, Giants, and Packers, are the teams known for their defense. But truth be told, if they don't build up a solid offense, the defense for those teams are wasting energy. Ask the Giants, Pitts, Ravens and Packers about that. They were all eliminated or didn't get very far during the Play-offs last season and that was due to the different offensive issues that plagued the teams.

 

The best team in a league is a somewhat equally balanced team and that team right now is the Seahawks. They have pretty good offense and a pretty good defense. That is why they won the SB.

      The bottom line is we saw long stretches this season where T-Mac wasn't even targeted.  He had games where he went an entire half without seeing a pass thrown his way, and it lead to a bunch of games with 5 or less targets.  If he's healthy and we're not up a stupid amount and only running the ball, I can't see him having more than a game or two next year with 5 or less targets. We were also only 22nd this year in pass attempts, and that was with a rookie #1 and no legitimate 2nd option for half the season.  And even then, we were only 46 pass attempts above 31st place. If we go into next season with T-Mac improved in his 2nd season and a healthy Coker for 17 games, there is absolutely no reason for us to not throw it more.  That right away increases both of their target totals without sacrificing any targets from each other or other players, add in them taking targets from the TEs and RBs on top of that, and your argument just doesn't hold water anymore. You can't look at targets/yards in a vacuum and think next year Coker just takes some from T-Mac.  You have to look at the team as a whole and our situations this year and then project what will happen next year. If he's healthy for 17 games, I'd bet my life savings that T-Mac sees increases across the board, targets/catches/yards/TDs.   Just as Coker will also see career highs in all categories, it's not one vs the other, it's shifting offensive strategy given our personnel, which next year will be much better for our passing game (QB issues aside).

      C'mon now.... First, you can't switch up your argument once someone points out a major flaw in your point. You're saying we shouldn't expect a big increase in targets/yards for T-Mac, but then shift to talking about averages with Chase when I point out the significant leap he took there once you factor in his missing games.  He saw an increase in targets in 5 less games, averages aside, he saw a significant increase in targets in his 2nd season, what he then did with those targets is actually irrelevant in this discussion. Puka seeing no increase is pointless, as he saw such an absurd amount of targets for a rookie, it's near impossible to see an increase. But the real issue in this post is that you think I'm proving your point by showing how Waddle had to share targets with Hill. Tyreek Hill was a 1st team All Pro who was 2nd in the NFL in yards that season. If you think Jaylen Waddle sharing targets with a 1st team All Pro and a future HOFer is even remotely in the same category as T-Mac needing to share targets with Coker... then you are certifiably insane, lol. If anything, you could make the argument that Coker is to Waddle as T-Mac is to Hill in that discussion (which would then lead to a serious increase in targets/yards for T-Mac).  But even that is insane, as neither T-Mac or Coker will be as good as Hill and Waddle respectively that season.  I love both of their potential, but c'mon now, T-Mac isn't getting 119 catches for 1,700 yards and Coker isn't getting 117 for 1,350 next season.
