Panthers WR situation so bad Cam Newton has to resort to recruiting NBA players to be WRs on twitter

If it wasn't for all the basketball leagues around the world were non-NBA calibers can go and make good money, I think we'd see a lot more 6'6"+ basketball guys giving football a try after college. Just think of some of these 6'8" really good athletes with 35"+ verticals and reach for days who aren't quite NBA caliber players. Get those guys into camp and just have them work on beating a jam and running a slant or a fade. Who's going to go climb the ladder with them in the red zone? If you could just get those three things drilled into them - beat jam, slant route, fade route - they'd be worth a roster spot as a dedicated red zone weapon.

UNC's Theo Pinson is one such guy who fits the bill right now. 6'7", great athlete, not an NBA caliber player, but he's almost certainly good enough to make a good living playing basketball overseas.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack

      Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.

      Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
