CAn the Panthers Win with This Receiving group?


Recommended Posts

Taking a look at the Receiver group of the Panthers I noticed 2 big things. First thing is they are very young and inexpirenced besides Steve Smith. Second thing I noticed is the drop off of talent after Smith.

So questions arises, can the Panthers win with this receiving corp?

Do the receivers have enough talent to keep teams honest?

We can win with no recievers besides Smith but it will handicap us come January.

We have a good balanced WR corp right now.

Smitty - everything man

LaFell - good run blocker

Edwards - Slot reciever, maybe some wildcat, trick play flexibility

Jarrett - .......he has good hands:biggrin:

Wright - ST with recieving ability

Gettis - Will need to beat out Jarrett to make the team which might not be too hard.

So I think we can win even against the powerhouse teams right now. Smith just needs not to be double teamed to be effective. If our 3rd rounders can step up look out.

The giants were very effective last season with the "other" Steve smith and two rookies...Nicks and manningham. So yes, we can win and we can an highly effective offense. Our problem or potential problem will stem from how the defensive line plays...and whether or not they can produce.

Agreed. The passing game should be fine with reliable QB play and the running game to take pressure off. The biggest question related to our success this season is "Can the Panthers win with this defensive line?"

The Panthers can win with this DL. However it hinges on the offense and these young WR's.

If the offense is ineffective in converting 3rd downs then the DL is going to wear out and start making mental mistakes because they are young. If the D has to stay on the field all day like it had to at times last year then this DL will never make it.

If the offense can keep a possesion moving and convert some 3rd's into 1st and 10 then we could be alright with this DL. A lot of this will hinge on the young WR's. We will probably do a good bit of running on 1st and 2nd, probably a good bit on 3rd down too. But there are going to be some 3rd and 8's that we will rely on these young WR's.

It is important that they make these catches. The biggest problem with Keary and Colbert was that you could not rely on them whatsoever on 3rd down. When you weren't expecting it they would make a great grab but when you needed it they would drop it 9 times out of 10.

We NEED these young guys not to do that.

If they don't and the O can stay on the field, I think that the DL will be fine.

THE OP must not be a Panthers fan. Otherwise he would know that we haven't really had anyone but Smith since Moose left after 2004. By the time he came back he has lost a step or two. We have a long history of receiver busts. We drafted so many this year because we knew that out of the 10 receivers not named Steve Smith in camp, we will be working hard to find two or three who can actually contribute.

    • The thing that really sticks me with Canales is, if you’ve worked your whole life to reach the pinnacle of the coaching profession, and you finally get the opportunity to become one of only 32 people in the world doing it…  and you decide to commit so hard to this fuging bum who will not only get you fired if you stick with him, but will likely tank your chances of ever getting the opportunity to do it again.  That’s why it HAS to be Tepper’s call.  IT ABSOLUTELY HAS TO BE.  Everyone, coach or not, has a threshold and a survival instinct attached to it - and the thought that DC hasn’t reached that point yet with the reputation he has as a QB whisperer while the guy he keeps trotting out there ha solidified himself as the worst starting QB in league history?  And again, that’s in the face of know DC needs and prefers guys with the physical tools to sling the football.  It just makes no fuging sense.  And it pisses me off even more with Tepper because you see all this and you’re still forcing him to play Bryce??????  You’re supposed to be the self-made, intelligent dude, and you are so fuging stubborn you choose to cut your nose off to spite your face every fuging Sunday you play this bitch.  It’s insane.
    • fug no just sign a decent vet that can throw past 20 yards. You need to build a culture not keep trading away the occasional talent we hit on in the draft, dude already bought a house and is still working his ass off after signing a contract where a lot of other guys start mailing it in
    • Sadly, I’ve talked with a lot of my fellow alumni and Heel fans, and I’ve said, sadly, UNC is in the same exact position with Gio as the Panthers are with Bryce.  And the way the situations mirror each other are EERIE.  I’ve said here repeatedly how whoever Bryce’s personal team is that conned an NFL front office into taking him as a first round pick, let alone the #1 overall pick, deserve to retire off whatever money he’s made due to their efforts.  This poo would make Chauncey Billups’ crime bosses blush.🤣. Same for Gio.  Whoever he has around him, representing him, that convinced a power 4 school to pay this MF MILLIONS of dollars at the college level coming from Southwest Alabama Technical Basket Weaving School for the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind University, just to come make the whole rest of the UNC squad look like absolute poo is a fuging amazing sell.  I’m talking Tai Lopez level scam poo.  And for both to con their way to their position at their respective levels of competition, only to get there and be so clearly the worst piece on their team while simultaneously play the most important position on the field - I’ve never seen anything like it.  And what’s worse, in both cases, the organization chooses to keep putting them out there in large part because of ego and investment made.  And all they keep doing is making the rest of the team look fuging atrocious.  They both literally hold the entire team back by their presence alone.  And as an aside, Lopez may have the slowest fuging release I have ever witnessed in my life.  In talking slower and longer than fuging The Golden Calf of Bristol.🤣🤣🤣
