Considering that a good amount of our offense is run out of a 2 TE and/or 2 RB set with a healthy running game and that WRs 1-3 are productive, I see no reason that a 4th WR would see significant non-ST time on the field. Your assertion that not running 5 WR on the field means you're not running a productive passing game is ridiculous.

You just took what I said and ran a totally different direction lol.

I never said not running a 5 wide isn't productive, I'm saying why not try it out a couple of time if the most elite QB's and offenses run it frequently?

What would possibly be wrong with trying out a couple 5 wide sets and seeing what Hixon/McNutt/King can really do?

Good clarification, as your point above was very ambiguous and did imply that 5 WR sets were required to be a succesful pasing team.  My thought is, why bother?  Olsen is better than Hixon/McNutt/King and having a back/TE on the field has been key to helping our line pass protect effectively.  I just don't really see what the benefit of going 5 WR is based on the other personnel on the team.

Ron Rivera said that Cam Newtons best runs come from when he's just naturally scrambling. Mostly because all the receivers have just finished running their routes 15 yards down the field and the DB's have their backs turned.

Imagine a 5 wide set, 5 options for Cam, and if nobody is open he takes off for a gain of 15+. It's an absolute win-win situation.

I also wanna see what some of these younger wide outs got. Teams all over the league are finding young deep threats with potential by giving them an opportunity in a base 5 wide package.

There's no way this could harm or affect anything, so why not try it out?

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
