Carolina getting KB back makes our offense unstoppable

So as i'm sure all of you know that KB will be back as our #1 reciver this season. This is the outlook on our offense 

QB: Cam

HB: Stewart/CAP

FB: Tolbert

WR: KB, Ginn, Brown, Funchess, Garrett/Bersin/Hill/Byrd

TE: Olsen

O-line: Oher, Norwell, Kalil, Turner, Remmers/Williams

With that interior offensive line, KB back and improved reciver core depth wise. We should have one of the best offenses in the league.

Look at the stats from 2014 with KB in his rookie year. (Reminder that our offensive line was one of the most inconsistant in the nfl and that we had no good healthy running backs that season. As well as we didnt have Ginn who had a good year this last year.)

2014:

PPG: 21.2 (19th)

YPG: 346.7 (16th)

Sacks Allowed: 42 (12th worst) 

Pass attempts: 545 (19th)

Sack %: 12.97

T/O(+/-): +3 (13th)

Rush Avg: 4.3 YPC (13th)

Pass Yards Per Game: 219.4 (19th)

Pass Yards Per Attempt: 7.0 (T-20th)

2015: 

PPG: 31.2 (1st)

Note: Lets be honest. Our defense set up some points for our offense to take PPG with a bit of salt

YPG: 366.9 (11th)

Sacks allowed: 33 (11th best)

Pass attempts: 501 (27th) 

Sack %: 15.1

T/O(+/-): +20 (1st) 

Rush Avg: 4.3 YPC (T-9th)

Pass Yards Per Game: 224.3 (24th)

Pass Yards Per attempt: 7.7 (T-6th)

With a healthy Daryl Williams back. We should be able to improve on our flaw on offense which is sack%. Meaning a more consistant offensive line production.

With a healthy KB back our passing offense per attempt could be at the top of the NFL this season. Our rushing offense will still be the best in the NFL. I expect our offense to be the best in the league overall. Assuming that we avoid any big injuries.

Really excited for the potential, but there are still questions for me.  I think we got lucky with J Stew last year, and about the maximum number of games he'll ever play. Unproven depth at RB, and even TE, could be interesting if they're needed. The play of Remmers and Oher was above expectations, but can they keep it up? And then as already said, our defense forced a TON of turnovers last year....that'll regress a little, and the offense will take a little bit of a hit as a result. 

 

All in all, though...it has the potential to be the best offense the Panthers have ever had. Cam coming into his prime, having absolute control of the offense, KB back, the progression of Funchess? Yeah...we might need to just shift philosophies a bit and become more pass oriented some games.

I dislike this argument "the defense set up the offense for points".  Every other team has a defense too, and it shouldn't be much of a difference for us this year.  Yea, we lost JNo but our pressure should be better with a better rotation at DT and hopefully Ealy stepping up to provide pressure from the DE spot we just didn't have last year.  I don't see much, if any, of a drop off in our defense this year.  It will just be more like three years ago when the pressure from Hardy and CJ helped the secondary rather than the other way around like this past year. 

Points win games, not yards.  The only thing I don't like is when they add DST scores to PPG, because the offense had nothing to do with that.  The stat should be Offensive PPG, but I don't think the official stat counts DST scores and that was a factor in our #1 standing in this case.

Let's hope so, I have worries about our defense next year.  Nothing major, but don't think we'll have a top 5 unit like we've grown accustomed to recently.  I think we'll have one of our best offenses ever though, if Oher plays well again especially.  Can't wait to see Funchess.

Well not having Norman will show at times but this defensive line should be nuts. Plus Shaq will be better and as long as we have Luke, the plays that need to be made will be made.

Offensively I'm stoked. We need Payne and Wegher to step up but otherwise I think KB, Funchess, Ginn, Brown and Olsen will be too much for any defense to handle.

Remember Jeremy said that Funchess is even looking better than  KB. Obviously  the season hasn't started but the thought of that doesn't spell well for the rest of the league.

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      The natural progression of ANY QB is to take more control of the offense.  Which is all Dave said. He doesn't have a narrative to push. He is says what is the natural thing to say in this situation whether it's Bryce, or any other QB.  THE THREAD TITLE ALONE TWISTS THE NARRATIVE.   so yes, many of you refuse to acknowledge anything other than your screwed perspective, for whatever reason, when it comes to Bryce.  Y'all have a great Easter.
