I love Steve Smith. I love his passion, the way he plays the game, and his heart on the field. He has easily been the most important player to this organization the last decade. He needs to retire a Carolina Panther. That being said, as everyone on this board has said, you really feel for a guy with so much talent and skill on such an awful, putrid, offense.

The Panthers offense has been absolutely awful. The OL which was thought to send 3-4 guys to the probowl has been pathetic. No push to get the run game going, bad pass blocking, pathetic penalties. D Will and Stewart obviously are hurting tremendously from this. Yes, opposing defenses are stacking the box with 8-9 guys but this is nothing new. Clausen is being affected the most. He cant get the ball out and has no time to throw. The few times he does, he looks very sharp.

The team does have allot of young, no-name WR's but there is allot of talent being misused. Gettis, Lafelle, and Smitty have proven to be dependable receivers that can win in this league. The problem, as everyone once again knows, is that the double team comes on Steve Smith, Clausen is blitzed and as a result there is an incomplete pass, sack, or interception.

The solution to all of this is very simple. Jerry Richardson needs to open up the wallet for ONCE this season and bring in a big name WR. That alone will ease the pressure on Clausen, open up the run game, and instantly breath life into the offense.

I know this is allot of what people have been saying, but this all comes back to Jerry Richardson and his decision to throw the season before a possible lock out. As a true competitor, you never quit or throw in the towel. You do whatever it takes to win. This isnt the local pop warner league that no one cares about. THIS IS AN NFL FRANCHISE! Until Richardson realizes that this season is going no where fast, and opens his wallet, we will struggle to win 3-4 games this season.

Spend the money, get a big name WR, lift the offense, and get back on track for the playoffs before its way to late in the season!

Go Panthers!

Folks, hate to sound like a broken record, but we aren't a WR away from having a winning team. The problems are along both offensive and defensive lines.

I disagree.

The OL is going to look tremendously better once Otah get's back.

Gross, Wharton, Kalil, Otah all range from anywhere from good to elite..so it's not like we are going to get rid of them.

We just need a good guy at RG and we'll be set.

The DL, that needs a little more work if your looking at the interior, but we've got enough young guys with potential on the End's that at least one of them is going to be very good. Hardy and Brown have both already shown they might be those guys. With Johnson and Brayton proving good depth.

I think once our QB is established, your going to see a lot of perceived problems magically vanish.

I said it earlier, this team doesn't lack talent. Just experience.

Really? They've proven what exactly?

BUT BUT...I thought you said we had winners! There is a point here I know it....there has to be, maybe I'm missing it.

      You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.

      On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
