Cris Carter, Keyshawn, Tom Jackson Trash Our Offense, Lack of Building Team Around Cam

[Proudiddy]

Justifiably, just on Countdown...

 

• Cris said he is sick and tired of hearing about Smitty being the ONLY offensive weapon we have to help him.  Said Cam is one of the bright, young QBs and needs help.  He also said it's awfully hard when you have guys like RG3, Kap, and Wilson, and "some cities" won't stand behind their QB or be patient when he isn't being given any help.  I don't know what that last part was supposed to mean and certainly hope that wasn't intimated in some way to Cris, as he knows Cam really well.

 

• Keyshawn said the same thing about our lack of offensive weapons.  Said we have nothing outside of Smitty to help Cam.  Then said, we have $100 million in RBs that "can't get over the hump," and if you have your QB as your leading rusher considering that investment, you have a problem.  Interestingly enough, he said he didn't know our OC (Chud) had left to coach Cleveland until it was just reported by Lisa Salters (lol), and when they said Mike Shula is now our OC, he basically laughed and said "that isn't helping him."  He said Shula historically hasn't shown he can do anything in this league.  Wow (have to wonder if he heard things from Bucs teammates, considering Key went there a year after Shula was replaced as OC).

 

• TJ then basically said the same thing, but added that all the other young QBs in the league have some of the best running games behind them, and Cam needs that.

I heard that as well...they are 100% correct.

 

Keyshawn basically said.....Shula?...really? pffff fug that guy he sucks.

And they all basically said that the Panthers WILL NOT improve as long as Cam is expected to do EVERYTHING.

 

Which I agree with.

They haven't really used the draft or FA to pick up anyone to grow with Cam Newton. They haven't really invested in the offense at all, except for the two high dollar RB's.  Take a look at what Indy did with Luck, they drafted him and then built an offense around him playmaker wise by using draft picks on players to grow with him. Washington went out and spent a ton of money on WR's to put around RG3. 

 

There's a reason it hasn't been working in Charlotte and it's because they haven't paid enough attention to putting young playmakers around Cam that he and the offense can grow with. There's Smitty and Cam Newton with a side of Greg Olsen and that's pretty much it on offense.

they trashed olsen so fug them

they trashed olsen so fug them

 

 

I think Key tried to stick up for him but got shut down pretty quickly.

I'm not sure that's how they intended it to come off, but if it was, I think its because of his reputation as being a one-demensional player.

Regardless, they have a point. Look how the Skins, Colts, Hawks, and Niners have surrounded their QBs with talented playmakers, no matter the cost.

Cam has done the most with the least since snap one.

Hope Lafell saw it

[pantherj]

Hope Olsen saw it. I mean damn.

[jarhead]

I hope Gettis and company makes them eat their words

[pantherj]

I kind of agree about the Shula part.

[Proudiddy]

I feel like a Princess Leia hollowgram for Gettis:

"You're our only hope"

[CarolinaNCSU]

Cris Carter saying the Saints gave Brees help on the defensive side of the ball literally made me lol

I heard that as well...they are 100% correct.

Keyshawn basically said.....Shula?...really? pffff fug that guy he sucks.

He didn't even know Chud was our offensive coordinator before that comment. That's when he heard of Shula. Dicks they are
