Matt Rhule said the team could keep six or seven wide receivers going into the regular season

Panther beat writer David Newton said it's "another indication of how wide open this offense is going to be with three to four receivers on the field at the same time," adding that the team usually decides on "whether to keep four to six receivers." Carolina offensive coordinator Joe Brady seems committed to running a relatively fast paced, aggressive offense. The Panthers could once again be among the league leaders in pass attempts. On a completely unrelated note, Teddy Bridgewater is available in the 14th round of one-QB leagues and the tenth round of 2-QB leagues.

Any more than 4 or 5 are really just ST players anyway, so the trade-off would be roster-bottom DBs or perhaps even LBs. Whatever position isn't on the regular roster would be loaded up on as part of the PS. Nothing to see here.

That quote says 4-6 that’s a lot different than 6-7... which is it? Because 7 is retarded. And so is 4 for that matter. Should be 5 or 6

maybe he is referring to in the past, hence the reason he said "usually".  

In the past we rarely had more than 3 WRs on the field at a time, so 5 made sense.  If we really run a lot of 4 receiver sets then 7 would probably be more likely than 5.  Only one extra is cutting it close.  It does seem like 6 would be a sweat spot though.

Or throw it before they get there.

Despite what some want to believe, Teddy has never been great at getting the ball out quickly. He was slower to throw last year than Cam has ever been as long as the NFL has been keeping advanced stats on average time to throw. Allen was faster as well and he took a pounding.

    • I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.
    • Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.     
    • With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
