Football Outsiders Cain Fahey - Panthers receivers are terrible

How Cam did so much in 2015 with so little is incredible. This is a breath of fresh air seeing some one delve into matters more vs blanking Shula.

There's nothing Shula can do with this WR corp, its god awful.

One my theories is that Proehl quit cause the front office refused to get him more talent. He see's tape, he knows he's handcuffed.

Not sure about that. On the flip side, I'm not so sure that Proehl wasn't part of the problem. None of our young WRs seem to have improved at all under his tutelage.

That's already been proven to be a dumbass theory.

So...No surprise.

Aw Gettleman nut hugger number 1 got offended

 

You really think Proehl come out and say what he really thinks? LOL Keep eating up that fluff piece about KB and Funchess being super talented

It's pretty much common knowledge among Panther fans that our WRs are terribly unreliable, across the board. That being said, if you've got a guy who gets open all the time but drops a couple, that's better than someone who doesn't get open much but catches everything. NOT saying that is the case with our receivers, because I don't know. Right now I'm watching coaches film of our run game and after I'm done with that I'm going to be looking at the wide receivers to see what the deal is with that. It's honestly entirely possible our receivers get open most of the time but Cam either doesn't have time to hit them or misses them in his reads. Shula could very well be hindering the WRs and Cam more than the WRs' unreliability. But that is yet to be determined.

Has this guy posted anything about the WRs getting open, or just whether they fail to catch the ball? Because all I've seen is stuff on the failed receptions.

   Does one have to be a "nut-hugger" to think your theories are ridiculous? Just trying to find my place in the world.

IDK of Cian has done anything like that. But next Gen stats did a piece on Cam, in that piece they pointed how KB was the worst WR in the league at getting separation and Funchess was 4th on that list.

 

We are setting up Cam to fail with another year of this WR corp

You don't know Scot, he throws all the coaches and players under the bus, just to save Gettleman from criticism

    • After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.
    • Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once. 
    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
