After 6 Games, Panthers can throw it and not much else

So after six games played this is how our team stacks up.

OFFENSE

9th in passing yards

27th in rushing yards

13th in total yards

DEFENSE

23th in pass defense

30th in rush defense

28th in total yards

Who would have thought six games into the season, we would have a bottom tier defense and rank in the top ten in passing with a rookie #1 WR?

Certainly no one expected the defense to be this awful. The defensive players who were thinking of demanding a massively expensive contract are going to have to rethink things. Prices are coming down, or they can take a walk. The offense should become the spending priority.

Ive been doing some thinking and I think this team will be at a crossroads in the off season. If your Gettleman do you A. Focus on retooling the D and adding more defensive pieces to make our D dominant again but in the process neglect the offense (again) or B. Do you go all in, improve the O line and offense and just let our D stay mediocre..

My opinion, in today's NFL, I say focus on cam and the offense, Draft and sign key offensive players and just let the D go. Too much parity when it comes to defenses and with the new practice rules and just the new rules in general, defenses just have too much of an uphill battle. Look at the Saints, Chiefs and Seahawks, all three had dominat Ds last year while this year the D is faltering.

If this was the early 2000s I would be thinking the oppositie, but this is Cam's team and its time to make this a offense first team

For everyone except Hardy, LOL...

And you thought we would be 32nd in passing, SMH.

Hardy is making out like a bandit. To think the public and media wanted to harm Hardy with their outrage and overreaction, but in reality they gave him a one year paid vacation. 13 million dollar to relax and take it easy, do a little rapping, lift some weights, chill. Way to go media. Thank. You only hurt the Panthers and their fans.

I say absolutely say go all in on offense. We have one of the best QB's ever that can do everything. Retooling the defense would take about 3 more years to get all the pieces we need to get back to an elite defense. However, if Getts goes with that plan, he will have to either fire Rivera or demote him to DC and hire an offensive minded coach, which I think is possible because I really don't believe he wanted Rivera to start with. I honestly think we would have a more consistent success with offense as priority than defense. That is just my take on it.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
