11 Easy Steps

OK for all the critics... I did two searches and didn't find this anywhere. Pretty interesting article and honestly all of it makes sense.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/591235-how-to-fix-the-nfls-worst-team-the-carolina-panthers-in-6-easy-steps

1. Resign D'Will... The man has a YPC average of Barry Sanders and because of J. Stewart is still pretty fresh. Keep double Trouble Together

2. Vince Young... i know many scream HELL NO and he's a bum and on and on but 10-3 is alot better than 3-9. (TD / Int ratio) 98.6 passer rating. Wait until he his cut and sign him. We have first dibs on waiver claims. (if that is how they do it during the offseason)

3. Draft Nick Fairley... They make a good point. He will command attention and if he gets alot of attention. The Beast will be free to be the BEAST.

4.DJ Williams. Not the #1 TE but might be available at # 65.

5. Cut Lloyd... I like Rhys but if he cannot kick field goals we need a kicker who can do both. Seems there are a few available this year.

6. NOT FOOTBALL RELATED BUT ROCK BOA... I love it. Fire up the speakers and play Crazy Train.... (ok so I am old and like Classic Rock)

7. Make Smitty a Pro Bowler again. Get him the ball. No doubt about it. I think Chud's is gonna make this his #1 or #2 priority. TE being the other.

8. BLITZ... NO DOUBT Again.. We have the studs to really make this a #1 defense. Dont know how many remember J. Del Rio's Defense but that was an exciting defense with 1/2 the talent and still ended up #3 or 4 overall. With this D.. No reason why we could not go straight to #1.

9. Beast in the Middle.... His natural position and others can play outside. Beast is naturally suited for MLB.

10. AE need a chance. I am of the same belief. This guy was the only 2x Walter Payton award winner. He didn't get there by being mediocre. Chud's will get him involved.

11. Add it all up and makes me Smile too. I am glad we have some fresh faces on this team. I can't wait for us to actually use it.

GO PANTHERS

Linking Bleacherreport won't win you any fans

x2

i actually skimmed this one, though. proposed getting the ball to smitty as much as possible. that isn't going to happen. say bye bye to the "feed the stud" mentality. chud and rivera wants that ball spread around. smitty (and his fanboys) is just going to have to get used to being pissed about him not getting the ball often.

It is giving credit to the author... I like the ideas but didn't write it.
not aobut you as the writer of the article, but you posting anything from bleacher report. has a deserved crappy reputation. actually worse than linking to anything from PFT/florio.

Smitty is still a playmaker and getting him the ball will open up the TE, Running lanes and so forth. IMO getting him the ball gives the offense more balance than not.

spreading the ball around is what is going to open everyone up, including smith. feeding him the ball isn't going to bring real balance.

he's getting older, but he'll have better chances at making big plays if he isnt targeted as much.

it's better for the whole team if they don't try forcing the ball to him.

12. Switch to all black (not racist) uniforms.......Black has been proven to be an intimidating color to visiting opponents. Also, it is slimming so that the opposing teams will think the O-Line lacks weight and will start their 3rd team defense.
hey it worked great for the jags when they used them and the falcons in the early 90's right? :lol:

    • I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction     
    • Better than a fragile starter, though
