WR corps: The annual elephant in the room

WTF are we gonna do if Smitty gets hurt? We aren't looking all that different from last year. No legitimate, seasoned vet opposite of Smitty seems like the elephant in the room that just won't leave. And, every year we just gloss over it, much like the FO seems to do, until it rears its ugly head on Sundays. I hope the coaches know something about Naane & Ajirotutu that the stats don't speak to. We appear, yet again, one Steve Smith away from disaster. It's going to take more than Olsen/Shockey to be effective without Smith.

And again this coaching staff can only do so much in ONE season, Hurney likes to build his team through the draft, and it's already been rumored we went after WR's but, obviously they didn't want to be on a team with a starting Rookie QB, enough of the whining.

All I can say is make sure as hell you get Olsen on your fantasy team. I think they probably told Cam to try to spread the ball around in the preseason, but when the real games start and he's the only person open, he's going to put up monster numbers.

I think we will be okay thanks to Olsen and Shockey. Sounds like we may have also gotten a steal in Tutu.

If Cam can develop some chemistry with SS and continue finding the TE's in the open field, the team will be fun to watch (at least on offense). Screens plays have also looked good in the preseason and gives us something to build on.

We can get our number 2 receiver next year when Cam has enough experience to really spread the ball around.

I think we are okay offensively.

I'm pretty excited about Ajirotutu, but I also got really excited about Keyshawn and DJ Hackett and every other WR we've signed that was supposed to finally provide a balance across from Smith.

If we can get this defense straightened out before then I would love to use our #1 pick on a real WR prospect next year.

Nobody is whining.

Is it too much to ask to acquire someone who has actually started a full season, and not someone who is a WR4? Hurney likes to build through the draft, but he obviously does a piss poor job at scouting in this department. might be time to actually make a push for someone who is experienced. Rumors don't have to amount to anything.

I think we're OK offensively too, but if Smitty goes down all bets are off.

Maybe you don't like the WR's on the team, but perhaps the coaches and the people involved with the team feel that they have what it takes and are what the team needs.

Maybe they feel like Ajirotutu is that guy... I'm not too worried about it and I'm looking forward to see what the wr's on the team play on Sunday.

Edit: It's not like the team is really looking for a 2nd receiving threat. Who ever gets the 2nd WR spot is going to be 3rd or 4th on the progression list.

After watching film of Ajirotutu and Naanee, I feel confident that they will contribute. Olsen, Shockey takes pressure off the rest.. when both of 'em are out there on the field.

The last 6 years with the threat of possibly losing Smith has been worrisome every year for Panthers fans lol..it's nothing new.

      Btw... only Mitch fugging Marner has a better +/- than Key 🔑!!! And, Mitchy needed 5 more games and almost 100 more shifts to get there.

      I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.

      Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
