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.

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
