it's kind of refreshing to have a WR that good who isn't focused on himself, but rather the team and their goal together.

that isn't just a jab at smitty, it's on guys like meshawn johnson and all of those diva WRs who want to be the star of the game and bitch when they aren't the focus of the offense.

team >>>>> individual

i just lije where this kid's head is at and how he fits with the new mentality of the team. i just wish we had an OL and OC who could take this offense to the next level.

That he has individually played so incredibly but the offense has been non-existent should tell you all you need to know about the value of an individual receiver in the NFL. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Kelvin Benjamin, but he's ultimately a possession receiver that will get 8 or less touches per game. Is that what this team needed more than anything else?

 

It is a bit unfair to look at it that way, though.

 

Plenty of offenses look bad even with a tremendous TE, HB, OT, OG, OC, or WR.  That doesn't mean those positions aren't valuable.  Just means you need to be strong across the board overall.  The only position on offense that can really change everything is QB, but we are talking elite QBs here.  And I would only consider Rodgers and Manning to be elite right now.  You see Cam playing extremely well but the offense being non-existent.  So it isn't really WR not being valuable because we could say the same thing for every other position in the NFL, defense or offense.  The unit has to be strong.  And even acquiring a great LT wouldn't solve the issues across the rest of the O-Line and then we'd be even worse at WR too.  It is a lose-lose situation.

If we don't count his 8 or less touches per game like you say, we would score 0 this game.

      Carolina Panthers a Wild Card Team?

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      I mean I think the best case scenario has to hit for the Panthers and everyone else in the NFCS has to hit their worst case scenario.  Personally, I think this is the year that NO finally collapses and I think they finish 4th in the division regardless.  ATL is overrated but still likely a 6-9 win team. TB plays tough football, their defense will be there but their success depends on the offense, they too are a 6-9 win team.  The Panthers are probably 4-6 wins at best. If they find some sort of momentum during the season and get 7-8 wins, and TB and ATL struggle then maybe but I find it very unlikely.

      2025 QB Draft Class

      By 45catfan · Posted

      We screwed up a couple years ago taking Bryce in the first place.  Nobody held a gun to our head to jump from #9 to #1.  Most people who keep up with draft news knew this 2024 QB class was loaded and we should have waited, which I advocated. It was a dumb move and I knew it.  Now we have to roll with Bryce another year.  That's fine, because this 2025 class isn't that great.  I like Ewers, but not super high on him.  If Bryce shows improvement, which I think he will, that should get him at least one more season before we have to decide on if he's the permanent answer or not.  I've said before, the 2026 draft is the next window for a franchise QB if Bryce isn't the answer. Bryce gets this year and next at a minimum.
