Winning but our WR s are Horrible

[csx]

Winning  but we have ingrates for fans.

Honestly I have a hard time criticizing any unit of this team right now. I have a hard time identifying a weakness on our team right now, I would still guess its the offensive line if we get matched up against a great Dline. Our WRs do what they are asked to do. We score over 20 points every week.

The defense had the biggest blunder of the game when the busted their run fits and got scored on from midfield. 2 or 3 years ago that would have been ball game because our offense could only manage 10 points a game. But that TD didn't bring them within 3 points of our lead. We are scoring points....

Cam missed a few open receivers too... some weeks we are saying "damn Cam would have been perfect if not for those drops..."

 

Not this week. Cam had a few misses. Still I was very impressed with some of the things Cam did. He's doing veteran QB things and it's kind of scary because he can still run. He picked up 6 yards near the goal line in encroachment penalties and moves in the pocket without taking off to run. The one play he had a somewhat ill advised throw to Corey Brown down the sideline but his first read was taken down by defensive holding...he was taking a free shot. He checked out of a play into a Mike Tolbert stretch run on 1st and 15 and it picked up like 12 yards..... Just so many brilliant decisions that don't show up in fantasy football.

You know how they say "winning cures everything"? It's nice to see that Panthers fans have taken that as some kind of challenge this year.

Clicked on this thread not really sure if the OP was being serious or not.....sounds like they were......I didn't think the WR's played all that bad tonight.  We all know we don't have a bunch of pro bowl wide outs, but they are being serviceable, perhaps even a little better than serviceable.

Guess I just don't quite understand the constant complaints about WR....We'll have KB back next year....we're 6-0.....don't need elite WR's to win the super bowl...

[Khaki Lackey]

Next year when we are defending our Super Bowl, with KB back and Funchess further developed and less pressure on Ginn and Brown, Cam will be putting up fantastic numbers and the huddle will still be crying that we didn't draft a WR in the first.

Exactly I can only think of three true mistakes.The Ginn INT, which I don't blame on him, though you have to play through the whistle he was CLEARLY down.
The Brown In Bounds fiasco...just an awareness thing but stuff happens,
Funchess Drop, Cam could have given a better ball, but he still has to make that catch.

All in all our WR's did WAY more good than bad, Philly had some tough catches, and Ginn seemed to put in work tonight.

Please don't try and blame that 3rd int on Funchess.  That was a horribly thrown ball by Cam.  About 2 yards high and 5 yards wide.  Funchess did everything possible to make that catch.

The first int was not on Cam....the 2nd was a damn good play by the db....but the third was all on him.

But, to be able to win by double digits when giving up 3 to's shows this team's resiliency.....and I like it.

[MadHatter]

Can anyone with a straight face name the Seahawks WRs in the past two superbowls 

or the WR's that Brady won sb's with.....

[Growl]

ginn and philly brown owned tonight

They had some serious issues getting separation most of the night. I would really rather we didnt have to draw up runs and stuff to get our starting wideouts involved in the game.

Running to set up the passing game has been a successful strategy in football for decades.....geesh

[IMON KRAQUE]

I thought Ginn was down on the first int. But since they blew the call, shouldn't it have been called a fumble? Seeing how he took four steps with the ball in his possession? But I guess the refs are all about interpretation of the rules this year?

[FootballMaestro]

Funny how, as much as some want to bail our receivers out with the "Cam throws too hard and wild" excuse, Greg Olsen has very little issue catching passes from Cam.


Our receivers aren't great, but they're good enough for what we do. Cam misses when he can't get set and throw daggers. Otherwise, Cam puts balls where his guy gets it or nobody does. He does not like to throw soft and inside. He didn't in college, he doesn't now. He's going to stick passes in hard and fast and not risk giving defenders time to break on it on anything inside the numbers. Just how he has always thrown. Downside to that is less passes get dropped and fall. The velocity causes them to pop up, which can lead to them being picked...which is why receivers catching the pass is so important.

If/when Panther receivers get more separation, Cam can afford to loft the ball in, as he did with Olsen's game winning catch against Seattle.

Last night was a poor game by Cam.  He has those and usually bounces back with a great game.  Give philly credit though there secondary is built to stop the pass.

Philly cchallenged two penalties as well so...
