Look I'm not a coach and I don't play one on tv but can someone please tell me something. Why is our offense look like the most bland, plain simple offense in the league?

Steve Smith is upset that he isn't getting the ball. And rightfully so. Is the only was to get a wideout the ball by throwing down field? No why not directsnap or "wildcat" to Smitty. I watched the Bears/Falcons game on Sunday and Roddy white lined IN THE BACKFIELD and shot out like a tight end and caught a pass. Why no reverses or end around?

So Dewayne Jarrett can only be on the field on 3rd down? Why not have a play where he is the designated receiver on 1st down? No one would be expecting that when they are doubling Smitty. Does he suck that bad? look what happened when Dallas gave Miles Austin a chace. This dude has been here 3 years and has 10 catches.

Full house backfield? Is John Fox worried if D-lo and Stewart are on the field at the same time they will both get hurt at the same exact moment and will be left without a feature back?

Why is the Giants and Saints seem like they have 10 Wide Receivers on their roster? I know Rosario and King have gotten into the action lately but it seems like if it's not Smith or Moose than it's nothing. Even decent QBs will have days where they have multiple players with a catch.

Why not even put Smitty in the slot? And didn't I see #28 practice with the wideouts over the summer? This is why defenses have their way with us...

Yeah, I agree 100%. It's absolutely bewildering why we are so limited on offense. We had similiar problems when Henning was the OC and the common denominators are Fox and Delhomme. I think Fox's ultra-conservative philosophy and Delhomme's fading skills (which were average to begin with) are handcuffing this offense IMO.

This has been discussed as nauseum but I love it each time. It's almsot painful to watch our offense compared to other teams. It's as if we struggle to do the most simple things while other teams are so fluid. We seemingly go from 1st to 3rd down in seconds as well. I just don't grasp how we have to force our way down the field when other teams can just pass, pass, pass, run, pass, run...

Okay, I do grasp why (Fox, Jake, Davidson) but still...I don't get why they have to be SO stubborn and rarely change their ways.

I just love how a third grader can predict when we run and which direction it will be to. I mean, c'mon Fox... does he honestly believe the other team is not watching where the FB/TE in motion is lining up?

Ex: Motion the TE to the left, lined up behind the LT/LG... result = run play to the left between tackles. It's not even funny how predictable we are anymore. :(

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      Thanks for sharing.  I haven’t gotten all the way through but it seems very in depth. I don’t know much about this guy but like the fact that he is high on the panthers and optimistic but did not let that really play into his rankings.  I think 28 is a good stake in the ground. I would question the credibility of anyone ranking this team higher than 24/25.

      I feel like we had more issues back then, though.  Whether you like the regime or the plan, they do seem to have a plan.  Revamping the team group by group and building something.  I am admittedly overly optimistic when it comes to the Panthers.

      Jimmy Horn Jr injured during practice

      Coker is a 6-3 215 possession WR at this point.  He had a near 70% catch rate and was really good in contested catches situations.   He is pretty sound fundamentally, and he seems to be very intelligent and self disciplined.  As the fourth WR, he will get his opportunities and I see him more of an AT II if XL and TMac develop as expected.  BEHIND him (at the moment) we have Renfrow, Horn, and Moore.  The bottom line is this:  WR depth is usually based on the confidence the QB has in you.  When the game is on the line, the QB will find the guys he trusts.  For example, Mingo and Marshall did not get many balls--you could say they were not getting open, but it could also be they had not earned the love.
