with this offensive line (bad) and with our current WR corps (not many deep threats), I'm 100% on board

Just curious, what exactly do you mean not many deep threats? We have 3 (Smith, Byrd, and Samuel) who are all extremely fast. 1 of which is a proven deep threat. Add in the rookie 1st rounder, who has the ability to go deep as well, and you have 4 out of 6 who are deep threats. 

Also, we have only one problem, and 1 question mark on the offensive line. You make it sound like the entire line is horrible.  I am really hoping you are just trolling with this post.

Smith is old and hasn't been anything more than a number 3 WR for a few years. He will make some plays this year but relying on him to consistently make home run plays is setting ourselves up for failure. Further, he will be more effective if our offense is centered around quick timing passes and he can be the change of pace once to twice a game. 

Samuel and Byrd are both injury question marks, though if healthy they will both be excellent contributors for deep shots. Again though can't center your offense around question marks. 

Finally we don't have a starting LG. LT is horrible and our C is extremely injury prone. 

Assuming EVERYONE stays healthy 2/5 of the line is still bad or at best highly inexperienced. 

 

I'm not trolling I'm being realistic. Every team has flaws. The Panthers two flaws are the offensive line and secondary. I love our WR corps but they are better suited for an quick passing game which complements our offensive line issues well.

The media, who sees low completion percentage stat, assumes he has accuracy issues. Not dropped passes in the chest or bad routes ran that are either the receiver's fault or a product of bad play calling. Pretty sure under Chud, Cam's completion percentage was higher.

Cam's best year completion wise was actually his first under Shula. He had his second best and second worst under Chud. His career percentage is nearly identical under both.

I felt like Cam did much better with check downs and short timing passes last year and that was with him dealing with returning from injury and all(we could all see that the first half of the year he wasn't himself yet), not being able to throw and build chemistry in training camp etc. having a much more competent oc and some WRs that can get open and catch is going to help him tremendously. Cam has the desire to be great, he's not the drew brees/ Brady style QB...he's more of a favre, elway...gunslinger type. You  win with both types

You don't see left guard as a question mark?

At the very least, there's likely to be a significant drop off from Norwell.

Yea if anything we don’t have enough possession receivers.

I hope for the best and I love some of the things I am hearing from Norv Turner regarding Cam andaccuracy. However, I am a tad skeptical  that Cam's accuracy will greatly improve. I am hard pressed to think of QB that greatly improved his accuracy. Hopefully, Cam will be the exception to the rule.

 

 

I don't have a chance to research tonight, but I seem to recall reading an article about Norv and how one of his QBs really improved his accuracy.

Not sure if it was Rivers or maybe Aikman?

Umm, I know Gross was great but here are the Cam sack totals in his career:

With Gross: 35, 36, 43

Without Gross: 38, 33, 35, 36

Hasn’t mattered much at all, which I find interesting. Pretty consistent career wise.

Might have been one of the Viking guys

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
