Should the Panthers do more 4 and 5 wide out sets

[Pantherman]

I know that the panthers is a running team first. But as we have seen in the past 2 games. Playoff and 1st game of the season combined. It seems these teams have found the answer to making Jake turn over the more. My question and solution to slowing down these teams pass rush is for the panthers to run more 4 and 5 WR sets to counter alot of these blitz. Also carolina needs to put Steve Smith in motion more in the 5 wide set and send him on more drag routes with the kind of speed he has. Also play him in the slot alot more like Pats do with Randy Moss. Carolina needs to find a way to get Jake going again. If that means doing more 4 and 5 wide sets. Then I say do it.:yesnod:

Jake is a play action pass QB. When we get down because of TOs, the threat of the run is no longer a factor. Jake usually does poorly when the opposing defense sees that we are in an obvious pass formation. If we send out 4 and 5 wide sets, how many of those recievers will Jake actually see? 1? 2? Joe Montana could check all 5, and then check them again. I think you would rather we had a west coast offense and a better QB, but we have a script we must stick to in order to win. Play action + no TOs.

The reason Jake is throwing all these picks is because he tries to force it to Smith. Jake usually has at least two or three more options on every pass play, with Dwill as one that should be used far more, and then a TE which they all showed in the preseason an ability to make plays when given the chance. No the problem lies in either Jakes (more likely) or Fox's obsession with Smith.

Trying to get Jake do more is not really a good idea.. he just needs to manage the game and not fug up..

Jake doesn't notice more than one receiver when playing, so I'd rather have those players blocking.

I think that requires that little thing called accuracy... Also see Sheldon Brown's comments about how when Smith is in the slot Delhomme will throw to him...

I agree that we should mix up the offense a little to keep opposing defenses guessing, but more passing isn't the answer.
