2? I don't remember....Williams might of had 2 late.

If you look at Cams's total TD count compared to those....I wouldn't think they really are worth mentioning. All NFL teams get a screen every now and then. How many players in the NFL have accounted for Newton's total TDs the last 2 years

i am not trying to detract from Cam's accomplishments.

But we had several huge plays form the screen game and players making plays after the catch. I remember Tolbert having a few, D-Will had a few, Pilares had a TD against Atlanta on a quick screen.

We had a lot of huge plays out of our screen game.

It's funny b/c i boldly said we wouldn't take a WR and there's people on this board standing on a bridge right now b/c it's not happening. We signed two WRs and have one coming back.

If that was really true we would have not brought so many in

Adding one middle aged TE the Bears where giving away isn't building an offense around Cam..

Jesus, I'm not even going to argue with a guy who calls a 28 year old tight end playing at a pro bowl level a "middle aged TE the bears were giving away"

The offense is fine, quit being a pussy.

Yes loaded.

You have D-Will, Stewart, Tolbert, Olsen, Gross, Kalil, Smitty, and perhaps the most dynamic QB in the NFL that is still getting better as established plus offensive players.

You have Laffell that is emerging as a legit #2 receiver who has made several big plays the last two seasons.

Gettis flashed as a rookie but is admittedly recovering from some injuries. Pilares is a big play threat when he is on the field, we just signed Hixon, Joe Adams is still developing but is great in space and could be a big play threat.

Yeah, we are loaded with talent, and a lot of the receivers are young and still developing.

The only area I am concerned about in the immediate future is the O-line, but we also have a big hog molly playing QB that mitigates some of those issues.

Don't get me wrong, I still feel like we need to find a long term solution to replace Smith when he hangs up his cleats, but honestly, I don't see a lot in this draft that was available when we picked in the 2nd that could be that guy and by the 4th it becomes even more difficult to get a future #1 guy. If we went WR in the 4th we would likely have a guy in the same boat as Kilares, Adams, and Gettis. It would just add another guy fighting for the #4 WR spot.

So yeah we are pretty loaded, and I would take our offensive talent up against just about any other offense in the NFL.

Well said. I'd also like to add one of the things Gettleman likes to say: Oftentimes the answer is on your roster...

OH NOSE GUIYS, WE DIDN'T DRAFT SMITTY'S REPLACEMENT. WE GONNA SUCK. It's hilarious. Four negative nancy's against the world. Not one of them offer anything more than their dull wit and sarcasm. ....... If we lose this year. Rivera is gone. Our new coach may not want Cam, so Cam will be gone. Priceless. Gettlemen didn't help Cam out because he doesn't like the kind of QB Cam is. You can't make this stuff up. Well, I guess you can, cuz I read it.

The only folks that know what will transpire this year are the realists. They just know we are doomed. The rest of us all live in denial.......Smitty is done, we have no weapons. Does not matter that our D just got a poo ton better. We will suck because we didn't draft Smitty's replacement. And because we always suck. Oh, the inhumanity.

But, but, but, We are a vertical passing team. Until we find that vertical threat we are doomed. ......Right?..... I love this place. Where else, but at the inlaws, can you be belittled for disagreeing with someone? I don't feel we are doomed in the least. So I am an ignorant inbred homer with the football knowledge of a 4 year old.

      The Evolution of the Panthers OL (2023 - 2025)

      By Icege · Posted

      Several Huddlers mentioned the states of other position groups in the WR evolution thread, so I figured... Why not? Let's throw something about the OL together. Snap counts btw include ST, but JJ Jansen is not included because it would be an insult to the GOAT for him to not have his own thread (which I'm not making).   2023: Revolving Doors Projected OL: Ikem Ekwonu, Brady Christensen, Bradley Bozeman, Austin Corbett, Taylor Moton Week 1: Ikem Ekwonu, Brady Christensen, Bradley Bozeman, Chandler Zavala, Taylor Moton Week 18: Ikem Ekwonu, Gabe Jackson, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen, Taylor Moton Snap Counts: Ikem Ekwonu (1,201), Taylor Moton (1,201), Bradley Bozeman (1,149), Calvin Throckmorton (544), Cade Mays (486), Chandler Zavala (403), Nash Jensen (334), Austin Corbett (261), Gabe Jackson (205), Justin McCray (84), Brett Toth (80, Brady Christensen (79), David Sharpe (24), Ricky Lee (24), J.D. DiRenzo (14) What Happened?: OL Hell. Corbett was out most of the season and then was reinjured shortly after returning. BC only got to play week one (finishing the game with a torn biceps). The interior became a weekly shuffling of overwhelmed rookies, emergency vets, and waiver claims to try and survive the season. BY9 ended up being the second most sacked rookie QB of all time (now third after Caleb Williams' rookie campaign). The team ended up starting 6 LGs and 7 RGs (in total, they played 8 different LGs and 9 different RGs). There was constant interior pressure, missed stunts, and zero chemistry. This was an insane fall off when the OL looked to be a strength at the end of 2022, but there was a scheme shift from a power run game to a lot more zone. Verdict: Icky and TMo were the glue while Bozeman was stuck between a turnstile and a parking cone. These three did their best to be the glue, but there was only so much that could be done with the injury issues and catastrophe that would end up being the coaching staff. 2024: Changing of the Guards Projected OL: Ikem Ekwonu, Damien Lewis, Austin Corbett, Robert Hunt, Taylor Moton Week 1: Ikem Ekwonu, Damien Lewis, Austin Corbett, Robert Hunt, Taylor Moton  Week 18: Ikem Ekwonu , Damien Lewis, Cade Mays, Chandler Zavala, Taylor Moton Snap Counts: Robert Hunt (1,022), Damien Lewis (999), Ikem Ekwonu (963), Taylor Moton (899), Cade Mays (502), Brady Christensen (448), Austin Corbett (292), Chandler Zavala (259), Yosh Nijman (255), Jarrett Kingston (25), Andrew Raym (4), Brandon Walton (4) What Happened?: Solved the LG + RG issues by reuniting Lewis with Canales and paying the best RG in free agency (Hunt). Corbett again didn't finish the season, but Cade Mays was brought back and he filled in admirably. BC played almost every position on the OL and provided a valuable back-up + OL6. Zavala even looked better and more comfortable. Icky continued to show promising development as well, earning himself the team picking up his bonus option. The team churned the bottom of the group a bit, using special teams as a way to evaluate them. Verdict: The team has four of the five OL spots now occupied with true starters for the following 2 - 3 seasons. The results showed on the field as the offense became who carried the team through the season. The team was left in a position to develop depth and find a long-term solution for the center position. 2025: What 2023 Should've Been? Projected OL LT: Ikem Ekwonu  LG: Damien Lewis C : Austin Corbett/Cade Mays RG: Robert Hunt RT: Taylor Moton What Might Happen?: The biggest question mark is obviously the center position and who comes away as the starter? Icky and TMo have been the only constants on this OL, but there was rumours this offseason that TMo has knee issues. Icky is going to be due a payday soon as well. BC provides a high-quality second-stringer at every position, but the team still needs to develop some young backups. Zavala and Kingston both provide depth at guard, but the team looks a little thin at tackle with Nijman and Walton being the next two up there. If the starting unit can remain healthy, especially the tackles, the team can continue to build off of the progress that they made in the second half of the 2024 - 2025 season.

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      By Panthercougar68 · Posted

      Darin Gnatt made a comment on the Kyle Bailey show yesterday that it’s night and day with all positions since 2023. He stated that you can see the level of competition is much better and deeper because each group now has not just the starter competition but general roster competition which has been lacking for years. You’re gonna see Panther players actually picked up by teams at final roster cuts.
