What is the Panthers biggest issue, and how do we fix it?

Recommended Posts

So, What is the Panthers biggest issue, and how do we fix it?

In my opinion it is by far and away the Running game, the Panthers who I fully believe will make the Playoffs this year will have a short stay in the Playoffs unless we can get our running game going, which to this point is not even averaging 3 YPC(Stewart is Averaging 2.9YPC). Our inability to run the ball is a huge part of why we lost to Philly this past week, and chances are if we want a shot at the superbowl this year, we very well may have to face them again.

So how do we fix this?

It may seem a bit simplistic, but honestly I'm very curious to see how the Panthers play with Ryan Kalil back at center and if the running game begins to rebound. Many times it has been mentioned that the center is the second most important position on the Offense behind the QB, and Ryan Kalil when playing is among the best in the NFL. Not a shot against Larsen who has played admirably in Kalil's absence, but there is more to playing center then holding your ground, such as making protection calls, recognizing blitzes and other defensive maneuvers/adjustments and relaying this information to the rest of the Offense including the QB.  And for this Kalil is one of the better Centers in the NFL.

Is Ryan Kalil's return this week just what the doctor ordered?  Or is there something more that you think we could do to aid our ailing running attack?

((waits patiently for the first person to say fire shula) which isnt happening before the offseason so get over it)

rivera is too passive.

shula makes things unnecessarily complicated and is reluctant to change the game plan to fit what we do and don't do well and what the opposing D is doing and not doing well.

used and led correctly, we've got the talent on this team to win every game and should have won every game so far. the problem is that just isn't the case.

You need proper personnel to execute the gameplan

either that or you need to adjust the gameplan based on the personnel you have.

we have who we have. we need to base the gameplan on who we have rather than what we'd like to do if we had the ideal personnel group for the desired gameplan.

it's a poor musician that blames blames his instrument and it's a poor coach that blames his players.

The personnel we have limits the offense & play calling  and when we tried to use them like they are supposed to be (big physical receivers on outside) KB & Funchess they were pretty much eliminated by Philly & NO CBs with no safety help.

The safetys were free to help stop the run!

Not saying that there isnt a point to talent to win every game, but if that was the case the Cowboys would be doing better this year, winning games in the NFL isnt as simple as I have better talent so I will beat you, it's also about game planning.  Which Rivera is better at than a lot of people give him credit for. 

I honestly do not expect my team to win every game, 2015 was a rare and marvelous exception to this, I honestly just want my team to go 3-1 every quarter of the season, that's the goal plain and simple, there may be rare exceptions to this, but 3-1 per quarter will give you a bye in the Playoffs 9/10 and I would take that every year if I could. But all I want is a chance and by that I mean make the playoffs.

You must have a shrine built to cast rituals to fire Shula?

and actually, i posted that as a joke since OP said it. Why so serious?

    • Thats how GMs get fired.  Sure Bowers is the anomaly but the history of first round TE's is fuging brutal at best.  Now you want to pick one in the top 10?  Oof.  You want to play with fire, go ahead and be my guest but dont go crying when your ass is fired morgan.   But all you guys pining for Warren need to realize its not going to happen, even morgan isnt that stupid and it shows by the lack of top 30 visit.   https://www.profootballnetwork.com/tight-ends-first-round/
    • Chicago will not trade up for a Jeanty.  Thinking a team will trade up to the top 5 for a RB with the idea of finding trading partner for your current RB1 is a LONG shot proposition for the Jags (I have heard the same rumblings about this scenario).  I honestly think they are putting out smoke just hoping to move back.  At #5 there should be more value and this draft is very thin with elite talent at the top.  Again, they are simply trying to fabricate a scenario to move back and get more value.
    • UPDATE:  CHARLIE CAMPBELL HAS CHANGED THE PROJECTION OF THE PANTHERS SELECTION. HE NOW PROJECTS JALON WALKER TO GO TO THE RAIDERS AT 6.  HE PROJECTS MYCHEL WILLIAMS TO GO TO THE PANTHERS AT 8.  6. Las Vegas Raiders: Jalon Walker, OLB, Georgia Pete Carroll has always placed an emphasis on drafting pass rushers and addressing the defensive front seven. Las Vegas could use linebacker help as well. Having Walker at Sam linebacker could be similar to Carroll using Bruce Irvin as a Sam in Seattle, and give the Raiders a pass rushing trio with Maxx Crosby and Tyree Wilson. Walker is also a high-character leader who will help the culture reset under another new regime in Las Vegas. Walker is a dangerous edge rusher for the Bulldogs, showing speed and athleticism off the edge. In 2024, he had 61 tackles with 6.5 sacks and two passes broken up. Walker had five sacks as a rotational player in 2023. The 6-foot-2, 245-pounder is too undersized to be a base edge rusher in the NFL, so he will have to be a linebacker who rotates to rush off the edge in the subpackage.   8. Carolina Panthers: Mykel Williams, DE, Georgia The Panthers need a true replacement for Brian Burns. Williams gives them a talented edge rusher that also has size to defend the run. In 2024, Williams had 21 tackles, five sacks, and two forced fumbles thus far. He missed the month of September with an injury. Williams totaled 16 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and two passes batted in 2023. As a freshman backup in 2022, he recorded 4.5 sacks and 28 tackles. The 6-foot-5, 265-pounder has a lot of upside and an excellent skill set.
