Why can't our receivers get separation?

[2jakefansinva]

Our passing tree has like 4 branches... That is why...

If you can zone cover an out, a curl, a slant, or a fade, then you can beat the Panthers passing attack (or lack thereof)...

This is what happens when you are a running team in a passing league... The box gets stacked and you are shut down (especially if you have a high school style game plan)...

Davidson has to go, along with Fox, and Hurney will go with him...

Bring in Weis or someone who knows how to run an offense, keep Meeks and Baker on the defensive side of the ball, and wipe the board with the scouting department and start fresh there... Boom, you just fixed the Panthers' front office woes...

Preach on brother...........

I think it's more laziness than it is anything else. Steve Smith isn't even getting open, and that's an issue.

Hey... at least we ran a few slants this game. And what do you know... they worked! Mostly...

No one said Clausen's timing was superb. Week by week.

NFL corners > college wide receivers. Because that's what we have.

NOTE: Not including Smitty, who is double-covered consistently.

Man I disagree there are two major issues here Smitty isn't getting open getting blanketed by the defense he never gets one and one. And I would have to say last week a few different plays he was running open thats why he ever so kindly let Jimmy know to look his way. Second WE ARE EXPECTING to much from our recieving core seriously for everyone in this thread WE ARE STARTING TWO ROOKIES opposite smitty. How many rookie wr have major impacts in their first year especially the first weeks of their first year. With that being said these are not top draft picks BY NO MEANS keep that in mind also I dont mean for people to start yelling calvin johnson or desean jack.

I mean mid third rounders and six rounders is what we are working with.

It really ties into FO of course but im not going to bash them here Im just saying these guys like most good recievers need time to learn they always say rookie wr's need time to develop more than most positions on top of that NIETHER of the guys really came out of a passing offense in college. Of course there are exceptions to this but damn with our track record with developing wideouts I dont see how we could have passed up so many other options if we could have gotten one or two for cheap (TJ whoseyamama) they need someone to help them develop we should have worked them in not thrown them to the fire.
