Quick question?

[WOW!!]

Do people think we can draft a team that can get in shootouts with our division opponents?

Seriously are we closer to having a team that can outscore top offenses or stop them??

I think with a better secondary paring with our front 7.. We are closer to  stopping them.. We need a lot more for Cam to match fire power even with the teams in our division.. jmo

I think we have a team capable of scoring every time we get the ball.  That's all you need to be in a shootout.

With that said, to help our defense, our offense typically holds the ball for as long as possible, letting the play clock run down on every play.  We also tend to try and grind it out, going for 4-5 yards per play instead of first downs.  So that style doesn't support quick strikes.  But it doesn't mean we can't score when we really need to.

We were the top offense in the league just one year ago, now we have a better OC that I think will use the guys to their strengths so I’m optimistic. However, defense will remain the focal point with RR at the helm.

I'm tired of depending on defense to win the game. Panthers have been doing that for 23 years now and where has it got us, NOWHERE. We need a offensive minded coach tired of getting a little lead and saying oh let's just win with defense. Where has that got us we when some, we lose some never consistent. Until we decide to score a bunch of points and not depend on defense we are going to be mediocre. That's why we have all these seasons without back to back winning seasons. You know what makes Belichick he doesn't care how many points they drop on the other team, and he has balls like a real coach should and that's why has 6 rings. Defense does not when championships anymore in this league. Look at the last two super bowls both teams scored 28 points or more. We need offense, not defense unless you want to keep having these off and on seasons.
