Cam doesn’t have any weapons so Panthers won’t win division

Just watched a video on NFL.com , some freaking idiot said with a straight face that Cam doesn’t have any weapons and the offense will struggle. Mentioned DJ Moore like he was a nobody, didn’t even talk about Samuel or CMC. 

This team has the most weapons it’s ever had yet people act like we’re signing guys off the couch... 

I hope we f’ing dominate teams this year

Some cam fanboy / auburn fans will never be happy. NFL isn’t college. Cam doesn’t have weapons, coaches, oline, etc. Excuses after excuses. With all that any wb can be good. Looking at Russell Wilson and Andrew luck who have both had worse olines but better success...a great qb elevates those around them, not the other way around. Good example is 2015 Cam. We need him back.

Outside of McCaffrey we don't have any household names on offense. We had Olsen in the past but injuries and age have limited him the past couple of years. We know we have 2 young guys who have potential to be very good in Moore and Samuel. But looking at it as a fan in general other teams don't know much about Moore and Samuel so they don't respect them yet as major weapons.

Love it. The years when we're being completely overlooked are usually the years when we perform our best. I get it. Moore had a decent rookie year, but didn't come on until late. Samuel shows a lot of potential, but has struggled staying on the field. Olsen is an aging vet coming off of two injury prone seasons. 

We don't have a lot of provide NFL production at the receiver positions, but we have a lot of young talent with potential.

Samuel has yet to play a full season and DJ was a rookie with limited playing time last year. We don't have any WRs that have proved themselves to be superstars yet, so its only natural most fans and talking heads that haven't watched every detail of our games would think we don't have much outside of CMC who had a decent rookie year and a good 2nd year. 

Once Samuel or Moore gets a 1000 + or 10TD + season then people will stop saying that stuff.

A developing Ian Thomas is gonna be nice for the offense. He’s a physical specimen 

Rivera is gonna keep him on the bench as long as Olsen is healthy cause apparently Manhertz is one of the best TEs in NFL history.

If they genuinely paid attention, the only thing they could question are rb2 and maybe Moores ball security. We’ve got more wr potential than most teams and I don’t think most of these talking heads appreciate what guys like Wright or Hogan do(unless he was accompanied by Tom Brady.)

Rivera doesn't have any say on the offense anymore.. So try not to trip over this narrative...

Except Norv will be running the offense and making personnel calls. Rivera is doing the defense

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
