Imagine the Panthers Offense

I feel like Young is assumed, I thought this thread would proposing a new wrinkle lol 

[travisura]

This is the offense we've been imagining since Young became the consensus pick lol

[frankw]

I like Chark but he's been battling the injury bug as of late and signed a one year deal. I want another promising rookie WR. And hopefully by the midway point of the season we're talking about how nice of a weapon Terrace Marshall JR is.

So...... a #1 WR who has had only 1 healthy/good season in his career (4 years ago), a RB who has had one good year and we badly overpaid based on the rest of the RB contract market this year, a league average (at best) TE that we're also overpaying, and an admittedly solid vet presence as a slot WR.

And that's before even getting to us taking the wrong QB

But sure, let's all get excited over this very average at best set of skill position players.

Literally our OL and Defense are better units than that set of skill position players.

Sorry, but just calling it like I see it.

Also for what it's worth, I don't hate most of the moves we made this offseason, I thought many were great.

But Miles, Chark, and Hurst were the 3 moves I hated the most, and nothing to do with the players specifically, but the whole picture.  I'd have been fine with both Miles and Hurst if the contracts were cheaper and more in line with what their market value should have been with the rest of this year's FA class.  I also don't hate Chark or even his number in a vacuum, it's that I despise going into the season with him as the #1 WR for a rookie QB, would be totally different if he was the #2.

Definitely a lot sexier than our past offenses in recent memory.  Unfortunately, games are not won on paper.  Keep in mind regardless of who we select, there will be growing pains from our rookie QB.

It’s crazy to have so many new faces on offense. Our staff did some nice work!

Chark at full strength is an absolute hand full with his speed and length.  High hopes for him this year cuz a Pro Bowl season is not at all out of the question

If he stays healthy is a nice combo. Chark has the speed to be the deep threat, Thielen is the possession slot WR with great hands, and Marshall is the big body large catch radius for the jump balls.

And Byrd is probably the fastest player on the team and Shenault was awesome last year.

Yeah, Thielen is about as clutch as you can get in 3rd down and redzone.  He won’t be a top fantasy guy like he once was but he knows how to make bigtime catches when things get tight.  Love that sign

I think a late rounder is where we most likely target it. I don’t actually expect us to go WR at 2 or 3 unless we really like drops. But there’s a few pretty intriguing options in the later rounds I’ve been looking into that could be pretty exciting
