Good analysis. I hope Stew comes back soon but it times to find our future bell cow RB. If this season goes to hell, which I don't think it will, Leonard Fournette is the ideal guy

Before we get a Leonard, this OL needs to be seriously upgraded in my opinion all across the board. They're built for the read option style of running game, not a power running game. And dummies need to let Tolbert go and get a blocking FB

Strewart would marginally help. This offensive line is the root of all problems. Can't run without going jumbo

It really makes you curious how things changed from last season.  Last season, no one could really stop our running game.  Looking at weeks 1-4 last year, we only really had one "good" game to start the year.  While I don't disagree with Bucky's assessment, he's a pretty smart dude after all, and a scout!

We played the two best defenses this year:  Minny and Denver.  Atlanta is playing extremely well right now.  The only dumpster fire we've played as been the 49ers.  So I'm thinking more and more, this is typical Panthers and Rivera for the month of September.  We're a kick away from being 2-2, which is a completely different ballgame.

Maybe, just maybe Tampa is what we need.  We got like 5 take aways last year with Early Tampa...again?

I don't agree with that. The OL was significantly better last year but still it's not like the yards were easy coming. I think the interior hasn't been quite as good and defenses are attacking the edge where the OTs aren't good (Oher was the worst run blocking OT last year) and the TEs aren't either.

 

Stewart had 4 carries over 20 yards. Top OLs can get their RBs that in a few games.

A top RB would be nice, but I agree with you.  Our most desperate needs in this next draft are OT and DE.

There are good RBs usually available even into the 3rd round.  We need to draft new anchors on the ends of both sides of our line before we think about RB.

But, then again, that would be drafting for "need", so who knows what the hell DG will pull next April... lol.

How did we win 17 games last year with the same oline

By having all 5 players played significantly better.

Defenses have come up with counters to the max protect crutch of the Panthers. 

You beat the Denver Broncos with RBs like Tevin Coleman, not Mike Tolbert.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      By Panther53521 · Posted

      After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….

      Three straight first round WRs is straight up Matt Millen poo. Considering the draft capital we have tied up on Bryce after that trade we would basically have spent damn near all of our draft capital in recent years on QB and WR just to put one of the most anemic passing offenses in the league on the field. Clown show poo.
