Ron Rivera: Panthers may not need number 1 WR in 2014

I'm not understanding why Ron thinks our run game was so great last year... without Cam we were probably 20th or worse.

 

I don't think he does.  I think he's in PR mode right now.  We have what we have and at this point, there's not much we can do to change things.  So he's just putting a happy face on it and letting fans know that we are still going to be good, so don't freak out.

 

Now, I think he does believe we have a good running game, but I have no doubt that he also recognizes that we need more from our RB's, and can't rely so much on Cam...but that is not something he could or should say.

Haven't read the thread yet, but if they don't get a #1 WR, we will not go farther in the Playoffs and may miss them entirely. Our run game is terrible when you take Cam's yards out. And any new O-Line needs time to gel as a unit. Our D can't keep winning games for us.

 

 

Because of Cam's injury, wouldn't it be safe to say the OL would have more time to gel than the QB and new WR?

Gettleman will most likely draft a WR, but it wont be in  the early rounds like many of you are expecting. 

 

With the class so deep, and Gettleman's assumed eye for talent, we could get a legitimate weapon for Cam in the mid-late rounds.

 

 

 

 

we're so used to mid to late round picks being garbage, but this new guy could have a serious nack for snagging talent. Who needs picks when you can bring in solid UDFA contributors ? 

 

Just beef up the O-line. Double dip? how about OL through round 3.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
