The reason why the Panthers are not good and have not been for 4 years.

I believe it is because the receivers are terrible. Steve Smith is more of a Wes Welker kind of a player that can wreak havoc if used properly. He is not being used properly at all this year. If you interchanged Welker and Smith the results would be off the charts for Smith. Look at Atlanta, suddenly they have a great passing attack now that they have two great receivers. When Carolina went to the Super Bowl they had Muhammad at an all-pro level and Smith was breaking out. Carolina needs to invest some high draft picks or free agent dollars in the position. Running backs are a dime a dozen. The offensive line makes a running back, not vice versa. Green Bay has got it right.

GM Marty Hurney respectfully disagrees and don't get him started on the relative insignificance of the FS and SS positions either.

      Wild Card QB Performance Rankings

      I've already posted this but I think it's worth repeating here: "To me, that's an insult to Horn but that's besides the point. Against the Dolphins, the Panthers faced a 4-5 with 3:31 left in the game. Bryce hit Horn for a 17 yrd completion picking up the 4th down and leading to a score for the win." So what was wrong with using Horn on that down given they had done it before - with success? It just seems to me people are trying to belittle Horn just to make Young look bad. I can understand you not liking Young, and don't have a problem with it, but I'm not sure I can understand insulting another player just to make something fit your narrative.
