Do we have a true #1 WR?

Of course Steve Smith is the obvious answer, but a look at the numbers you will see it's pretty darn close amongst.....everyone.

Steve Smith- 32receptions 335yards

3tds

Brandon LaFell-21receptions 278yards 3tds

Ted Ginn-20receptions 357yards 2tds

Greg Olsen-30receptions 360yards 2tds

Smith leads in receptions

Greg Olsen leads in yards

It's a two way tie for tds

Ginn easily leads yards per with a 17.9avg

Nobody has really emerged as the definite #1. It seems like every game it's a different player that steps up or sometimes down.

This is also a good sign that shows Cam does indeed spread the ball around. These last few weeks he hasn't been forcing passes. He took a sack last night that was actually a good decision.

It will be interesting going forward seeing how we handle the Wr position with only Smith and Olsen under contract after this year.

It will become an issue moving towards the future. We need a standout stud #1 and someone other than butterfingers LaFell to play the 2

Lafell catches everything with his forearms. Use your hands MFer.....I can't stand watching it..

actually I like WR by committee better than #1 guy. you get alot of looks and things you can do.  Also its harder for a defense to zero in on 4 guys who can catch the ball then it is for them to shut down 1 guy.  Pick your poison WR Corp and I Love it.  GettleDawg gettin it done.

I think it is more Cam turning the corner.....Gettlemen did him no favors.

Cam needs a legit big play weapon

We have a winning freaking record!!! How bout we concentrate on that and enjoy it!

I won't care if we have PS quality guys starting at WR... As long as we win, why even start negative threads?

I'm sorry, but I think this fan base has fallen off its rocker. Above .500 and doing things that haven't been done since 1935... But let's debate who our #1 WR is???

C'MON MAN! Go Panthers! Let's keep the good times rolling!

Yea we have a winning record, we beat up on all the scrubs like we were suppose to. But there's no more cupcakes on that schedule, besides Tampa again. It's really not a negative thread. It's a thread pointing out a position group on this football team. Some can see it as a negative, others as a positive.

Sorry dude... Didn't mean to be negative or make it sound negative... And you are certainly entitled to post whatever you want. I think it's time for me to take a time out from the Huddle. It's somehow depressing around here being above .500

I like being in a good mood so, I'm gonna take a few days off from posting

Tbh... It doesn't matter if we have a #1 or not though. Win games and spread it around. I'd rather be unpredictable than go back to "shut Smitty down" win the game days... But that's just me.

      1st period was a Masterclass on defense by both teams. About time for the Canes let’s keep it up.

      Yes, it tells me they’ve improved significantly from sitting at what, 30-31st in the league on the PP to 11th now.

      I wanted someone to hire him so we got the picks, but I'm also not upset that he'll now be back. I genuinely don't understand why so many fans on here dislike him so much.  No, he's not perfect and made some mistakes this year, especially at the end of the playoff game and going so soft in coverage on the final drive. But considering this place torched him all offseason for us having the "worst defense in NFL history" last year.  Said in the whole pre-draft process how we had to go defense in round 1 because of it and then complained the rest of the offseason that we didn't do enough to improve the defensive roster. How do people say all that about the defense and then complain when he turned that same unit into a pretty respectable defense this year.  They were really the only reason we were in a lot of games for most of the season, as the middle part of the season they really stepped up and were playing like one of the better defenses in the league. I don't see any reason we can't improve even more next year if we spend another offseason focusing on adding pieces on that side of the ball, which we should be able to do with our draft picks and cap space. We had the historically worst defense ever last year and people are upset because we weren't the 85 Bears this year, make it make sense.
