Bucky Brooks:Christian McCaffrey, Curtis Samuel rejuvenate Panthers' offense


Recommended Posts

When Ron Rivera suggested at the end of last season that the Carolina Panthers' offense must evolve in 2017 to help their former league MVP quarterback get back on track, I thought the grizzled coach was simply suggesting the team would add a few wrinkles to the playbook to allow Cam Newton to rediscover his comfort zone as the ultimate playmaker at the position.

While I'm sure that is certainly a big part of the Panthers' offensive transformation, the team's decision to draft a pair of hybrids weapons will not only help their franchise quarterback get back on track, but it could make their offense more dynamic, explosive and nearly impossible to defend -- IF offensive coordinator Mike Shula knows how to control the joystick from the sidelines.

National media didn't include us in the top 10 offenses for next year.

Simply because what the Panthers offense needed first was offensive line help.

Witness Matt Kalil and Taylor Moton.

They're right, but don't fundamentally understand the reason.

    • All I heard was uber rides, weight trainers, and t shirts??? Maybe some meals too........ What a monster and he should be tossed in a rusty wood chipper!!!1!11!!!!!  
    • This is from 5 months ago. It was one or the other. Trade for one or draft one. We apparently called the Jets about Wilson. We also talked to the Seahawks about Metcalf. Drafting our own guy was the best course of action given the required investment. Regardless now is the time for Bryce Young to produce. We are fourth amongst all teams in cap spending on the OL. Back to back first round picks at WR and multiple young TE draft picks now. Very solid and respectable backfield. New pieces across the defense. The time is now.
    • That was just the worst time to have their worst game of the season. One key deal was the broncos guess the Panthers would NOT change any plays or flow to the game. Another key point overlook that bronco defense was truly one of the best in the NFL history. It was the best defense the Panthers faced that year, by far. They were not ready for it, but broncos were ready for the Panthers. Mix in that bad luck, poor refs showcase, and this is the golden boys last game........ Panthers needed to win by 20 and the broncos defense was not going to allow that.  Panthers were the favorites and I believe they also thought that it was going to easier than them destroying NFC playoff teams as they marched to the SB. I've heard darin Gantt say the play calls were to give remmers help, but for some reason the team never did it. During the year they never had that problem, so maybe never practiced giving help via TE/RB, or WR chip. Cam was superman that year, no need for any adjustments...... Until you meet a legendary defense with studs at all levels, Think about it, Peyton was throwing wingless dunks for the whole season, the defense had to carry his corpse to the SB. That's how good they were, not many defense are able to get to the playoffs and win a SB without decent QB play. If you recall the beginning of that defense took Tim Teblows and his non-throwing arse to the playoffs couple years before. That's insane the level of defense needed to overcome.
