Passing just isn't the Panther's #1 Priority

As if this was anything new...

Asked if the team would throw more often this season, Davidson (Panther's OC) flatly said "no" to Steve Reed of Carolinagrowl.com. "The major push for is us when a defense is making us throw it, we have to be efficient when they are doing that to us," Davidson said.

Davidson says he's not worried about the passing game's struggles in the preseason, and that the starting job opposite Steve Smith remains open to competition. (Dwayne Jarrett and rookie Brandon LaFell remain the leading contenders.)

Only two teams ran the ball at a higher percentage than the Panthers last year. According to the Football Outsiders Almanac, only one team passed the ball less when ahead on the second half.

Not a bad thing, this is why our we will be much better on offense when the season starts, because the only thing that stopped our ground game last season was Jake intercept o!

This isn't Florio's horrid opinion. i could have posted the article from carolina growl, but its basically the same thing. no apologizes from me this time

    • I agree.  I don’t think I have ever been accused of being a Howell fan. No more than fan of some other random QB.   But I watched and I saw. He has some talent. Maybe I didn’t watch close enough to see his weaknesses. 
    • He is a pit bull when it comes to that.  And after he missed out last year on Williams, it seems he is trying a different approach, looks like. Don’t hold back. No half measures, because someone will come and full measure your ass. Close the deal. He left a little opening for The Patriots last year.  He closed so far this year. Of what we know about.   
    • They have been doing the mercenary one year RB now for a little while. Foreman..  It works pretty well. You can find ball carriers. The passing game trips a lot of those guys up. Pass blocking, route running, they have a lot to know.    Rico wasn’t a great pass blocker but he got in the way most of the time. He is a really good pass catcher.     He’s tough. Needs to find out why he was cramping late in the games. If he can fix that maybe can step up even more. Wish him luck. I think he’ll do well.    If Brooks can be something, what a bonus that would be at this point.  I really believe they went for him because of his extra layer with being a good receiver. And we need more of that with what we are working with trying to move the ball.
