Carolina will have the best passing attack for the first time

I'm going out on a limb with this and saying we will have the number one passing game in the league for the first time in our history. Our two guys, Gettis and LaFell, will have breakout seasons this year. I also believe that Smitty is still the best homerun threat of a receiver in the game. Sure, he lost some speed over the years, but he is still as strong as he was back in 2005. He can still leap into the air like a gazelle, and ultimately, he still has the baddest attitude in the land. Finally, I believe Olsen will have a career year. He is due to have a breakout season, and become one of the top TEs in the league.

With our rushing attack being much more improved now that we have Tolbert in the backfield, who by the way is no scrub in catching and running with the ball himself, defenses will have to seriously consider what we are going to do every down. I believe we are in for a 98' Viking type year, with a superbowl victory to go with it.

I just like the talent that we are looking at in these bunch of guys. Not only that, but these guys look to have dynamic qualities all the way around. We already know that Smitty is a one of a kind receiver. That even though you may draft good receivers in the future, you're not going to draft a Smitty all willy nilly. Guys like him only come around once in a lifetime. I have been high on Gettis, calling him a taller Marvin Harrison. LaFell's interesting. I believe he has less talent than Gettis (my personal opinion by the way), but I've been really impressed how far he has come. He's been in Rivera's, not dog house but puppy house last year in training camp. Now he has stepped up, and looks to be something special. Cam Newton, just like Steve Smith, looks to be a guy you draft once in a lifetime, playing the most important position in the game. So I'm pretty excited about this group.

Obviously the addition of Louis Murphy means we are a lock for the best passing attack in the league this year...

Wow! I liked Murphy for a couple of years now. He's been injured, but I like him a lot. Although, I still believe my boy Gettis will eventually become a superstar receiver, and LaFell being a great receiver playing behind Smith and Gettis on the charts. Murphy will make great depth.

To be honest the potential of this offense will go only as far as LG and RT allow it to go. Outside of that the potential for this offense is nearly limitless. They could easily be #1 in Rushing or Passing depending on injuries and O-Line play.

We have great potential on offense, but we won't be reaching it this season IMO. A lot of pieces look great on paper, but Cam is still learning, we still need a definite #2 WR to step up, need to find the run/pass balance, etc.

The Packers, Patriots, and even the Saints* will still be above us this season due to the consistently great QB play...but it may be the last season anyone is above us for a while if Cam continues to impress.

Sure, he lost some speed over the years, but he is still as strong as he was back in 2005.

Didnt look like he had lost any speed when he was burning PP7, the leagues hottest new corner that surely is among the fastest in the game.

You know, as you get older you tend to throttle your speed and save it for when it counts. Let me know when you see 89 get run down from behind and then ill agree with everyone's "smitty has lost a step" bullshit.

    • You're gonna mess around and hurt someones feelings 
    • He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.
