Wave a magic wand and tell me the top 3 specific things you would fix. Not "the offense".

 

Mine: 

 

1. Cam throws the floaters on target. It seemed his passes with more zip and less arch looked good yesterday. Anything with air under it sailed long. 

2. More diversity on offense. Less workload on CMC. Get Scarlett in the game and spell CMC some. 

3. Convert on 3rd downs. That really killed us yesterday. Have to get off the field and get the defense rested.

Tempo, Simplicity, and confidence on offense.

Less zones, less zone coverage, and less cushions that are given in zone. I hate the zone when it’s this predictable. You almost knew woods or kupp were gonna go for 7-9 every catch. I honestly think we’ve some bad ass corners, let them rock a little.

Pretty accurate. Pooing this post or not should be some sort of litmus test

This seems like two separate issues tbh.

Insofar as more diversity, sure, would love to see a couple read-option looks . . . a couple "why not" deep shots . . . etc.  However, breaking out the wildcat / read option on the goal lines was pretty damn creative.  So there is some truth there, but not so much that it was crippling.

Less workload on CMC, tbh, is something that "someone" (not saying you, I don't know where it comes from) keeps dragging out and it's bat(@*% crazy.  I ran the numbers in another thread you can dig up if you want, but basically CMC (using 2018 numbers as a basis), is seeing significantly fewer touches than Emmitt Smith or rookie LT saw under OC Norv. 

I wasn't sure how to take Head Coach Norv's stats, because for the most part HC Norv either didn't have a "world class" back or had a "world class" back with an almost equally "world class" backup (aka LT + Sproles in SD).

Just to bring it all home, in 2015, the height of "Double Trouble", Stew got 258 touches, MeAngelo got 240 and Cam got 132 for a backfield total of 640 touches.  CMC had 326 last year.  CMC is fine.  It wouldn't hurt us to get a handful of touches offloaded to another back, but how about we do that when we are sewing up big wins, eh?

1. Pass protection

2. Play calling - seems like the offense has transitioned from Cam or bust to CMC or bust. Samuel should have way more than three touches, in my opinion he should be WR1 and DJ should be WR2.

3. Ron Rivera actually learning from his mistakes but who am I kidding

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
