Just gimme plays that don't involve three receivers all running to the same spot.

That's all I'm askin'

Or designed QB runs up the middle where everyone knows what the play call is

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.

That is the question mark I mentioned. 

1 bad - Matt K.

1 question mark - LG

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

Weapons are good if the man isn’t getting the poo beat out of him every time he drops back 

people here have very short memories 

there was Cam with Jordan Gross and Cam without Jordan Gross

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.
