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.

    • I think we pick it up and then someone else ends up emerging as the QB next year and we end up cutting him in year 5 and eating it.  That would be the most on brand thing to happen.
    • Evero has his faults, but even in that loss, the team only gave up 20 points. Your post gets to the heart of the matter. We are not a talented team on defense at this time. Some of our younger guys may develop w/more playing time, but for now we have no impact players at LB or EDGE. We could really use a ball-hawking S on the back end as well. We have exactly two players that have to be accounted for on every play, D. Brown, and J.Horn. Mike Jackson has been solid. The other starters would probably be backups on most the upper echelon NFL teams. We really can't expect this team to a Top 10 defense with such a lack of talent. All things considered I've been somewhat impressed with how much better they have played this year.   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-points-per-game   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-average-team-passer-rating We are in the top 15 in terms of points allowed per game (22.6) and top 12 in defensive passer rating (88.9). And, we are doing this without a formidable PASS RUSH. Even our rushing defense has improved. We are #16 in rushing yards allowed per game (116) compared to 179 per game last season. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-rushing-yards-per-game I wouldn't cry if Evero moved on after the season, but his defense isn't the biggest worry for our team.
