Our WR's going forward

Watching the WR Corp this season has made me realize a few things:

Smith still has the ability to be a game changer. He can make the big plays, and it was great that we kept him there.

Naanee was a liability at the beginning of the season, but he has become a solid backup. He still doesn't make as much of an effort as he should on balls that are not thrown directly at him. we often see throws that he could make an adjustment to either catch or keep away from a defender.

LaFell could be something special in the coming years. He isn't consistent and isn't getting all of the opportunities this season, but when the ball is thrown his way, he tends to make great catches and is quite adept at YAC. If he can get more consistent, he is potentially our future no. 1. Smith has already said before he is wanting to have another receiver to help take the responsibility.

Our wide receivers should be good for now. combine them with our RB's and TE's and we have enough offensive power for Newton to be a major NFC South threat for years. Next year's draft needs to be Offensive Line and Defense to solidify the team.

      It's rare enough for a running back to tear the same ACL twice. There's not much of a sample size on the recoveries. And of course Dobbins has missed a lot of time--he was injured twice. That number will drop as his career continues, and even if it doesn't, that doesn't necessarily mean it has anything to do with the prior injuries. Dobbins just started and played well for a playoff team all year until he was injured by a hip-drop tackle. Surely his ACL recoveries didn't contribute to his completely random foot injury caused by an illegal tackle? Again, I'm confused why everyone is being so definitive that there's 'very little chance' of any meaningful contribution ever when the greatest counterpoint ever played for us. Thomas Davis tore the same knee over and over again and was basically fine. As for the roster-building stuff, we'll see what happens with Chuba and Dowdle at the end of the year, but Etienne's not going to factor into this. Either Brooks comes back, in which case we've already seen more from him than we have from Etienne, or he doesn't. But Etienne's not forcing him off the team. If anything, Etienne's current role is his absolute floor.

      Then I would assume disingenuous. Why on earth would you consider this an "exciting" time to be a Panthers fan? Let me ask this, how old are you and how long have you been an NFL fan?

      An ESPN writer had a good breakdown of teams that were likely to come back to earth(KC and Redskins were two of them) based on outlier results in 2024 in close games. I think that has a lot to do with it. Found it: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts
