This is NOT 2015, Offense is NOT better without KB

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.

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.

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

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

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
