Panthers wide receiver are "second-to-last" in YAC

In YAC we are ranked 29th but if you take away the running backs and Greg Olsen only the Chiefs are worst, and that's mainly due to with Alex Smith refusal to throw to his receivers

 

 

So I hear a lot of people saying what's the point of drafting a receiver if Cam has no time, well what's the point of drafting a OT if nobody gets open? the last two games outside of Bell the line has played decent yet we have still struggled, the receivers get no separation and when they do, they get tackled immediately

 

I would have no problem with picking a OT in the first round but if Cooper is there we have to pick him, none of the OT coming out this year are getting high praise

I think it plays more on play design as it was just mentioned. Shula does not design plays to the strengths of our players. IMO, He is using Jericho and he was using Avant wrong. I really think one of our biggest issues is Shula. He has never been a good OC. I just don't get why our staff can't see that. If you know our o line is not that great, why not call more screens or quick slants. It is very elementary. YAC is a big number to look at. Everytime we make a completion, our guy is immediately tackled. With the type of season we are having, it is hard to pin it on just one unit.

I really hope Cooper is available and we pick him in the draft. Not only do we need a speedy guy, but we need a playmaker in the worst way. Sad, because we also need offensive lineman in the worst way as well. We've got a bunch of 3 and 4 receivers out there, except Benji.

A lot of that has to do with ball placement. If Cam could put the ball between the numbers most of the time then the receivers wouldn't have to stretch out or jump up and could then run.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
