The offensive line is the reason the offense can’t get going. It’s the reason we don’t throw it deep. It’s the reason Cam can’t step into his throws. Ron Rivera told you this earlier in the season. We don’t throw it deep because the line can’t protect long enough and it has only gotten worse as the season has gone on. Cam might be hurt but it’s not affecting him as much as the shitty offensive line is. Oh and the fact we don’t have a #1 WR or tight end.

So basically it’s like every other Panthers team in recent memory?

valid thread. you can really tell who has no actual idea what they're watching during a football game. cam was under pressure all game, dbs blanketed shallow crossing routes all night yet we kept prioritizing them, no rhythm whatsoever, receivers getting no separation, and several bad throws. that poor offensive showing wasn't on cam, it was on the offense as a whole, and cam played a part in it. the offensive line played an equal or greater part. the people trying to put the game on cam and calling for him to be cut or benched have creepy motives or don't know what they're watching.

Van Roten looked good and all early on but he has quietly been garbage for some weeks now.  There's just a ton of issues on both sides of the ball and with the coaching staff.  This franchise received a reality check for being complacent with Luke and Cam when we needed to keep up with the rest of the league answering what we built up to 2015.  We're crumbling.

Also, Cam is clearly hurt, I don’t understand how some (not you) can’t understand this. Look at where he places the ball before he releases its right next to his ear. It’s like he’s protecting his shoulder. 

I don’t doubt Cam is hurt but everything is rushed.

I thought Van Roten's pass blocking was suspect since day 1, but his run blocking looked good early. His run blocking has looked like poo during the losing streak coupled with his awful pass blocking... We definitely need to find a better left side of the o-line in the next couple of seasons

No, Cam's accuracy is trash. He is always throwing with his upper body instead of setting his feet per Jason Witten ESPN.

      Clowney released

      By Waldo · Posted

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.

      Panthers start making cuts to roster

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Sorta related.  I just looked up a stat:  Success rates for NFL draft's second rounders.  I was surprised that it is 49%.  The success rate for first rounders is 58%.   Here success does not mean those that did not bust, it means that roughly half of the players selected in the second round become full-time starters at some point in their careers.  Busts do that too.  However, considering the fact that a first round talent is worth up to 1800 points (first overall pick) more than the first pick of the second round and as low as 350 points (last pick in first round) higher than the last pick in round 2, it seems there could be cases in which it would be to your advantage to trade out of round 1 and draft two or three second rounders for the value.  Of course, the elite players are likely to be gone, and some positions overwhelmingly suck after round 1 (traditionally, like QB or LT, for example), but if you need to find starters at positions like DT, G, LB, S, C, TE, RB, etc, there could be a time when you trade back for more starters.  I was surprised that the margin between rounds 1 and 2 was only 9%.    While I realize that some of you sofa scholars are thinking, "Well duh?  Trading back gives you more players." as you wipe the Cheetos off your shirt.  Not the point.  The point is you have to consider the draft,the needs (and the number of them), and you need to scout the second and third rounds like you do the first, the cap, and the long-term impact.  If you can find 2 players with a 49% chance of becoming a starter, are you better off than drafting one player who has a 58% chance in the long term? So if I traded away my first rounder for two second rounders (a trade most teams would make) regularly, when I got 10 second rounders (by trading 5 first rounders), 5 would be starters.  If I did not trade and kept my 5 first rounders, 3 would be starters.  Furthermore, their rookie contracts would be much cheaper than the 5 first rounders.
