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.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
