Matt Ryan's receivers not doing their share

The remaining receivers just aren't producing at a high level. Veteran stalwart Roddy White is 34 and hasn't looked the same since toughing his way through a high ankle sprain at the beginning of the 2013 season; he's averaging just 2.7 yards after the catch on his 30 receptions this year, the fifth-lowest figure for wideouts who have caught as many passes as he has this season. Jacob Tamme, a logical red zone target, has just two catches inside the 20 all season. Fourth-round pick Justin Hardy was inactive for the first seven weeks of the year. And even Hankerson had an astronomical drop rate of 13 percent. The Falcons desperately need somebody besides Freeman to step up alongside Jones.

 

The Falcons will need to revamp their receiving corps again this offseason with limited cap space, a move that would include the painful release of a franchise icon, given that Atlanta can save up to $4.3 million by cutting White.

So, let's see your reaction when someone says "Matt Ryan doesn't have enough weapons".

From what I've read, it's Shanny that is holding that offense back. Dude has been a bum wherever he's gone save for one fluke year with RG3. He finally has a decent QB (and don't kid yourselves, Ryan is decent and has had great years in the past) and he has no idea how to utilize him to his strengths. The entire year has been trying to make his players fit his scheme instead of fitting his scheme around his players abilities. His offenses start off well enough then tank in the later part of the year once D-Coordinators get tape on what they're doing.

Well, when they aren't playing good they aren't playing good. Jones has a lot of yards but no more tds than two Panther receivers. As a unit we have better weapons than they do by a good margin. Other than Jones there really isn't a guy on their offense I would take over our guys.

I would take Justin Hardy in a heartbeat over Norwood.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
