Our red zone effeciency wasnt as bad as memory serves.  We were tied with the Browns at 14 for 58%.  Bad thing is the last 3 games was 44% and last game was 33%.  Seems force feeding McCaffery is not a good way to score TDs

I don’t know why we’d be looking to replace him with any of these jags we’ve been signing (other than Anderson, not a jag). Curtis did the best he could with the trash we had at QB last year and the year before he seemed to score a TD every third touch (only a slight exaggeration).  He body catches a little, but still catches most catchable balls thrown his way. He just needs more opportunities.

Collectively it has been garbage the last 4 years or so. At least it certainly feels that way.

People have been dogging Samuel seemingly since he was drafted.  Why?  Because he didn't put up stupid receiving numbers in college (as a RB), was hurt early on, has been working with backup QBs and a staff that tried to run the entire offense through one guy, CMC.  Never mind he's a helluva Swiss knife.  These are the people that want #1 WR talent three or four deep.  You know, the ones STILL wanting to take a WR at#7.

He has gotten better.  Hopefully this staff will shorten up some of his routes instead of using him as a one trick pony as the deep threat.

Exactly.  He ran shorter routes some, but definitely during the 2nd half of the season it seemed his job was to run deep and try to open up the underneath stuff for CMC.

In fairness to Samuel, he got open deep at least 10 times I can remember off the top of my head and Allen may have connected on 1-2 of those.

I hope Teddy can throw it deeper than it has appeared for most of his career.

Or maybe we paid Anderson $10M a year so him and Samuel can take turns trying to run the defense off CMC

I really hope with the Anderson signing we stay 3 wide most of the year otherwise someone is being wasted... Both can take the top off even out of the slot so it's exciting to see what this offense can do. TB is light-years better then Allen and dj still balled. Keep pounding!

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
