This has been a huge problem with our offense.  Last year, our receivers weren't great but they were capable of getting separation.  Smith, LaFell, and Ginn could get away from DBs and give Newton room to throw the ball.

 

This year, they are unable to do so.  Benjamin is a big target but he is an inconsistent route-runner, which is critical when talking creating separation.  It is why you see a guy like Jason Witten manage to get wide open so often, that and he knows the hole in zone defenses so well.  Cotchery and Avant are ridiculously slow.  Because of this, Newton has to make the near-perfect pass because the DBs are going to contest everything.  He has such a small window to work with due to the fact.  Just look at when Cotchery was being covered by Barwin.  Barwin, a linebacker, blanketed Cotchery. 

 

No speed or quickness.  Nearly every pass is contested as a result.  It's brutal.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
