Wide Receivers we face in 2018

So, as we begin our sofa Coaching seasons, lets take a look at the upcoming top Wide Outs we (most likely) have to play against in 2018 

Mike Evans x2

Julio x2

Michael Thomas x2

Antonio Brown

Jarvis/Gordon

A.J. Green

Odell

Alshon

 

 

Not to beat a dead horse, but I would say if Ron and Hurndog 2.0 don't seek out players to bolster a weak secondary, we have settled for a losing/almost good mentality.

Hit me with your best takes.

    I am not sure I am willing to decide how our season is going to unfold yet. I may wait until the draft is over before making the decision to jump off the ledge, or not. But that may just be me.

 

    Also, I am willing to bet that Rivera, who is probably as competitive as you can be, and whose livelihood depends on him being successful. Is going to just settle for a "Losing/almost good" mentality. But again, that could just be me.

 

    Just let that fear of the past go. Pretend you have a pen. Now take that pen out of your pocket, and hold it out in front of you. Now... let it go. Poof, there goes your fear. The past is meant to be learned from, not to be feared.

Thank goodness the draft is so strong in secondary players and we don't have to face these teams with a safety group of senior citizens...

Now lets compare our WR core with those teams.

Even if you get Ridely it still won't be better than those teams...  Ridely is no Julio, Evan's, Thomas, Brown or OBJ.. At least we can have a comparable secondary to stop those teams .

You don't stop those WR's.lol

Ridley/Moore are not those WR's, but they can give us another solid threat for Cam. The more weapons the better our offense has to keep up with these elite offenses in our division.

We can have the best defense in the NFL, we still need to outscore the Falcons/Saints even the Bucs have a good offense.

It's time to give Cam some help on offense, we have gone far too long with him carrying the offense on his shoulders. Get the man some damn weapons!

No matter who you draft we still won't have the weapons to match these teams...

lol so basically you're saying keep what we have on offense which is not much and build a secondary to try and stop the Falcons/Saints/Bucs on offense?

Good luck with that. Even if we had a good secondary those offenses are still going to put up points. You don't stop a Brees led offense or a Ryan/Julio led offense. Get Cam some help on offense and we can be at the top of the division with those teams.

Otherwise we are going to struggle to score points all year.

Might have to add Ridley and Moore to that list if Ravens/Cowoboys go WR in round 1.

I will say this tho, the last 3 winners of the South also led south in PPG.

Eagles and Patriots were both in super bowl and finished 1 and 2 in PPG last year.

In 2016 the Falcons led the league in points and were in the super bowl. The saints finished 2nd and the patriots led the AFC at 3rd overall and won the Super Bowl.

In 2015 We led the league in points and were in the Super Bowl. 

14 the patriots led league in PPG and won the Super Bowl 

13 the Broncos led the league in PPG and made it the Super Bowl

Having the ability to score points is never a bad thing and could easily be argued it’s more important than a good defense. After all teams build around a QB first and foremost for a reason.

You have a better chance at stopping them with a top 5 defense than you do of getting in a shoot out with a offense that isn't as good as there's is...

We would have a great defense if you add a good secondary.. A great defense beats great offenses most of the time.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!

      Well, if they know Tepper wants to keep Bryce there is an an implied safety net there in case he fails. A possibility that he will be empathetic and •maybe• not fire them.  If they go against that and bring in someone else and that fails they are in a much worse spot.  IMO.  And another factor may be that after all those years of instability and musical chairs pre Bryce there will likely be a feeling of security in knowing what they have.   Kind of like settling just to keep from going through the process all over again.     IOW I think he really needs to fug up bad to lose his job and change our course.
