You were left with a punt returner labeled as a bust, an UDFA punt returner from Ohio State, a raw rookie, and a cagy vet best served as a third WR to work with.  We’ve played a quarterback as a receiver at times this year.  The team spent 8.5 million total for 2015 for the WR group for you to work with. 

People proclaimed that Cam would have a terrible year, that the offense would be stagnant, and the season was lost when KB went down in preseason.  And we saw this playing out in preseason with one Corey Brown drop after another.  The fears were rampant and fans clamored for the Panthers to go out and get such castoffs as Nicks, Welker, Wayne, Moss, and Lloyd. 

But people underestimated you and this group of receivers.  A Demon Deacon, you are the perfect receivers coach after spending more than a decade in the NFL getting by on a savvy ability to get open and make the critical catch.  Perhaps there was no other position coach that meant as much to this 15-1 season as Ricky Proehl.

Kudos to Mr. Proehl for a job well-done.

      33rd Team article: It's time to rethink Bryce Young's expectations

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In the same order I listed it. 1. Fix the talent evaluation 2. Use that better evaluation to build an NFL caliber roster 3. Continue to build depth and plan to replace key people as they age out and price out.    Those are the cornerstones of building long term success in terms of roster makeup. Even at times in our history when we got Step 1 correct and then did a decent job of Step 2, we have never been able to maintain Step 3 for various FO and coaching/on field reasons. This is essentially what Richardson was trying to do with the thought of emulating the Steelers. Our execution has just been horrible. And we don't need to hit HR after HR at any of those steps, we just need to get more right than wrong. And you need to get the critical elements correct(core players, coaches, etc). Once that starts to go sideways, the whole thing falls apart and we are back to the boom and bust cycle.   As far as what we as fans can do? Nothing but watch. We the franchise, well they already think they are doing these things. I heartily disagree so we will see what happens.

      2024 Carolina Panthers record prediction

      I really liked XL.  But I'm not expecting much from him this year given he is paired with Bryce.  I just think for XL to shine with his talents.....he needs a downfield gambler.  I think Brooks will slowly be brought along and we don't see his debut until in season.     That's our top 3 rounds...and really where you would be looking for rookie impact.  Rest should more than likely be developmental and have minimal impact.  So I expect fans to get down on our draft picks early.  I think the G play could get praise but C being such a wildcard (as well as Canales' run game) has that as not the lock I think some have it has.  Plus, I think Bryce simply can make the OL look bad given his size the problem he has in so many traditional settings/placement in the pocket.

      Okay so when is that changing? How does it change, and how do we operate in the meantime?
