Last three super bowl games.

[Verge]

2015: 

0 pro bowl receivers, 0 1,000 yard receivers.

2014:

1 pro bowl receivers, 2 1,000 yard receivers (Both on the losing side that was embarrassed on national television)

2013: 

0 pro bowl receivers, 1 1,000 yard receivers (Crabtree, surprisingly)

 

So out of six teams, there were a whopping three 1,000 yard receivers, two of them coming on the team that had one of the worst super bowls in nfl history. What did all the winners have in common? Top 15 Defense, and the majority of the contenders all had a top 5 running game. So instead of this panic crap, try and remember one receiver does not a season make, and defense wins championships.

Will depend on the run game.  If Stew stays healthy, and can be our own version of Beastmode...not worried.

Yeah, ironically enough, other than the obvious answer in Cam, our most important offensive player may have just shifted to the oft-injured J. Stew.

[Castavar]

If Stew can stay healthy for a whole season (hell, I'll take 12 games) and our O-line can dominate up front, we have a legit chance. Even just a top 10 rushing offense would be sufficient. However, just as we say this, Shula is in his office chalking up flea flickers to Cotchery and fly routes to Bersin. Dominant and Shula just don't seem to correlate.

 

[LinvilleGorge]

A legit chance of what?  Winning the NFC South?  Yeah, I'll go with that.  Making real postseason noise?  I highly doubt it.  I think those dreams ended with KB's knee.

We were already 7th in rushing last year. I fully expect us to be in the top 3 this year with an improved oline, more talent in the backfield, and most importantly a healthy Cam.

Nice to read a positive post around here, it was getting depressing.

I've been telling anyone who will listen a similar story. Focus more on the run game with Sterwart, Artis-Payne, and sprinkle in some Cam designed runs. This will open up the play action to Ginn and Brown downfield.

All this is depending on improved o-line play and our defense getting off to a quick start like 2013. I'm cautiously optimistic so far.

I wish the Huddle would save the doom and gloom until we have some poor showings during games that count.

Honestly even if we lose J Stew.. I'm very comfortable with CAP and Todman taking up the slack while he's out.
