Panthers fans have been downplaying Robby since he was signed, and I always told Huddlers that he is better than given credit for on this forum. I think he proved that, despite playing with a QB who in no way played to Robby's strengths, at all. I seriously doubt that he'll be a 3rd or 4th option, and I also doubt that there's any validity to these whispers--more akin to voices in someone's head--unless we're getting someone of note in return, as it makes zero sense. If nothing else, next year he'll garner us a third round compensatory pick, and we'll be throwing that away by releasing him.

CMC and DJ Moore will be prioritized ahead of Robbie in the pass game.  They should be.  They are better overall threats.  That puts Robbie 3rd. 

CMC's injury aided Robbie and Samuel  Him not being in play was a factor in those two having the opportunity to post what they did.  I think it is fair to acknowledge that.  As well as Teddy's accuracy and being willing to take what was given....which also aided stats for some guys.  Which is why we had 3 WRs with 1000 total yards.....and yet our offense wasn't that good.

And this is definitely a good thing. When your third option is better than some teams' first and many teams' second, you're not doing too badly.

unless you are in the last year of a contract and looking to post big individual numbers.   Great scenario for the Panthers.  Not so great for Robbie (from new contract perspective).  Depends on whose perspective.

I'm talking receivers. CMC is an RB, and he is not a better WR than Robby regardless of mental gymnastics.

last year CMC was healthy, he lead the team in receiving targets, receptions and posted a 1000+ receiving yards. 

If CMC was healthy last season, Samuel nor Robbie likely reach 1000 total yards.  CMC eats into all that.  

It's not mental gymnastics to say CMC will be primary target in the passing offense. Which will impact the production/opportunity of others.

A dynamic RB adds another dimension to an offense, and this has always been the case, but it doesn't minimize the effects of each part because the sum of the parts and the way that the OC maneuvers the equation and determines the answer plays a huge role in determining the outcome.

This is absolutely factually incorrect. There are only so many touches to go around in a game. CMC absolutely drops Robbie's touches. To suggest otherwise is to suggest Brady is a numbskull.

The ONLY way CMC will effectively impact this offense in such a way that will legitimately lead us to the realistic potential to compete for a championship is if the receivers are doing their jobs. If they aren't, then he'll get a lot of production because he is being leaned upon as a crutch and not efficiently used within the flow of the game, and that's if he doesn't get hurt again because of being run into the ground. We've seen this all before. Balance will be the key! Thankfully, from our acquisitions, it appears as though the powers that be seem to be of the same opinion.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
