This is NOT 2015, Offense is NOT better without KB

[gtanaka]

Our offense is not just magically going to become great because KB is gone. 

1. Cam has not been forcing it to KB. He is averaging 6 targets per game, and that is skewed by the Eagles game which he saw 13 targets because Cam threw for a ridiculous 50+ passes. Now in 2014 he was forcing (9 targets per game). But forcing the ball to KB clearly has not been the source of our offensive struggles.

2. Our 2015 offense benefited tremendously from a super opportunistic defense which not only scored a lot of points for us but regularly gave us short field positions. Our defense has been solid overall but (even when Kuechly was healthy) has struggled to generate turnovers.

3.We actually had a running game. This year we are averaging 97.6 YPG and a terrible 3.4 yards per carry. Take away Cams contributions and its 65.75 YPG and only 3.1 YPC. Now compare this to 2015 where we averaged 142.6 Ypg and 4.3 YPC.

These are just a few reasons why shipping KB away for basically nothing is not going to help our offense at all.

Thank you, this is what Ive been trying to tell the look at 2015 crowd. Also we still dont have Olsen for a few more weeks and he will be rusty when he comes back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People are about to find out, yet again, that Funchess is nowhere near being a legit receiving threat. Just like in 2015 he will disappear when given the opportunity.

It's rare that something rallies everyone on here to have the same opinion. Congrats on being a dumbass, hurney

2015 without Olsen and with Matt Kalil at LT would have been dog poo

[electro's horse]

I agree.

successes of 2015 and failures of 2017 are schematic, not personnel.

[GoobyPls]

Look at the saints game if you want to see our offense without KB. We got fugging blown out and could barely move the ball

 

No Ginn, no running game, terrible line.

 

People can’t seem to grasp that 2015 season by Cam was an anomaly of brilliance. That was the best mvp season ever.

I’ve never seen a 5-3 team sell..way to go Marty!

I'm not that worried about this move. Offense wasn't playing well with KB anyway and I don't think he would have been resigned. Biggest worry is how it effects the locker room.

For real. A team that could easily be 6-1. And made it to 5-3 while missing probowlers at TE, Safety, Center, and MLB.

its not like this offense was lighting the world on fire with KB...i think we will be fine.

[BIGH2001]

How could things be any worse for the offense?

LOL. So offense is already struggling, might as well take away the only receiver we have who has proven himself at all. Only receiver with more than 500 yards in a season. Because maybe now that the number 1 corner will be on Funchess he'll be able to get separation without OPI... or maybe since Curtis can't catch a pitch he'll be able to catch a bomb 50 yards down field....

i have seen this story before and it always seems to work out...someone will step up and fill the void because they are getting more touches
