we HAVE to get a better secondary

We know Cam is accurate when he has time. But under pressure or on the run, his stats fall off greatly.

 

One of the reasons Wilson had a career day last week is because of the secondary he practices with.   If we want Cam to turn into the passer we all know he can be, then the panthers organization would be very wise making some moves to improve his competition in practice... Arguably, this may or may not help very much in Game time scenarios.  Improving the Secondary would certainly help, but at what cost? what would we have to give up to Put a Revis caliber Corner out there.  Charles Johnson?  Thomas Davis?   We dont have anyone on offense to trade, and Gettleman would be a fool to ruin his draft  this early in his stay here.

 

Either way, its not going to happen this year. The OL needs more help, and a 420lb  bohemouth on the practice squad will certainly make Cam run for his life,  But  an easy completion on the other end  is not what hes going to see on Sunday. 

 

 

So get to it panthers.

Don't forget oline or WR. Don't get me wrong we can continue going all in on defense. Just don't complain when we only have 7 points

 

my sentiment is that a great QB can make ANY WR look good.. ie Tom Brady.     You make the QB practice against the best defense, with the worst WRs, and then one day when he  has a decent WR, magic happens... I dont think this will be a playoff season.  Id rather spend it maturing cam some more and   field a better offense next year.

Is that why Tom Brady posted a 76.4 passer rating, completing only 55% of his passes and damn near lost to the bills? He sure made those nobodies look great. If Amendola doesn't come back they probably lose that game.

Hernandez is in Jail

Gronk is out

Amendola is out.

I love me some Tom Brady but even Matt Cassel went 11-5 in that offense. He still Has Bill and Josh Mcdaniels. We are about to find out how good he really is with nobody to throw to.

If we can get Nicks or another solid WR in FA that would help us address OL and CB in the draft tremendously. Thankfully that's Gettleman's declared strategy and we don't have to worry about him trying to fill starter holes in the 4th round.

"Hmmm, let's see...we've got this huge hole at corner and no starter. And I didn't fill this in free agency so with the 108th pick in the draft I'm going to take some guy coming off a serious injury from Tallulah state. Problem solved"

    • The OL has certainly been better than the trainwreck it was three or four years ago. As far as competitiveness let's apply some realism and clarity here. Quite a bit of the competitiveness in 2025 came from the defensive side of the ball which gave up the most points in league history the year before and was one of the bottom 5 units in terms of salary cap allocation for 2025 while the OL was top 3. We had the 26th passing offense last year. And if not for a herculean couple of games from Rico Dowdle we don't back our way into the division title or make the playoffs because we went 4-6 in our final ten games including being swept by the Saints who were starting a rookie 2nd round pick most of us mercilessly mocked when they selected him. In conclusion yes we've seen a difference. The question now is will the investment pay off the way we want. But the only way that happens is if we field a top 15 offense. If we can't even crack the top 20 then there need to be some very warm seats across the board. And I would hope just about anyone here should agree with that.
    • These Spurs are lowkey loaded.  If healthy, they could win it all this year (#2 in the West right now). I still think we’ve gotta keep Kalk on Wemby; he’s not getting completely dominated like every other NBA center.
    • Am I the only one who doesn't understand this fan bases infatuation with adding a high end TE? Especially when we have some bigger bodies in T-Mac and Coker who can slide into the slot at times and provide the big dependable target over the middle that most teams use their TE for. I mean, sure, it would be nice to have one of those elite TE's, but I feel like that's a position your better off going cheap with a committee who each bring something different to the table while spending our cap room on the more important positions. I like the potential we saw from Evans this year, Sanders could be a best if he can stay healthy, and Tremble has improved as well.  Just feels like spending high draft picks or cap space on other needs and more important positions is a better use of our resources than splashing on a TE in the draft or FA. Are those guys on the level of the Bowers or McBride's of the world?  Of course not, but we also are paying a fraction of the cost on our TE room than they are, and we're able to use that money for other needs.
