so you're saying trading KB wasn't going to take us back in time to when we had receivers that had real experience?

Apparently we have thrown for a league low 1033 passing yards in the last 6 games. Cam has completed only 54.1% of his passes over the last 6 games compared to completing 64.8% of his passes over his first 7 games of the season.

Theres alot of other stats in the article but I thought these were the most striking. I dont think its a coincidence that these poor passing stats seem to coincide with the timing when our running game starting coming alive in the 2nd half of the season . I cant help but think tho, what happens if we have a bad day rushing and Funchess isn't open? 

I'd say whats frustrated me the most this season in terms of a passing game, is that we have had absolutely 0 success throwing and completing passing 20+ yards down the field. We have no deep threat, every time Cam throws a deep bomb there's no Panther anywhere near the ball and usually a group of defenders are just waiting on it. We're clearly lacking explosive pass plays down the field that we had the last 2 years with Ginn and I think thats going to eventually be our downfall in the playoffs. Some team is going to just axe our run game and force us to make plays way down the field which we cant.

meh.  yeah, we need to improve....

but we are 5-1 over the last 6 games.  

Technically we could of been a better passing team over the course of those 6 games and had a losing record too.  D and ball control is part of why we win.

Shula is part of the problem but so are the WRs who aren't running routes correctly/getting open, so is Cam throwing 10% less accurately than he was in the 1st part of the season .

I think the olines actually been doing pretty damn well with pass blocking. Sometimes it looks like Cam could stay in the pocket for a couple more seconds but he rush or force a throw like someones about to sack him

[beastson]

Our passing game is a little off. All we did was just replace our 1 receiver with a 1 receiver. Where is 2 or 3 or 4? Cam has no timing or connection with the rest of them. When he was starting to develop something with Samuel, he gets hurt. Now Olsen is back and Byrd back from injury. Hopefully it gets rolling.

Part of it has to do with the oppositon. Falcons, Saints, and Vikings have top 10 pass defenses. Jets and Dolphins were middle of the pack. I'm hoping Olsen can be more of a factor during this stretch of the season. Finally,  Shepard, Clay, and Manhertz are not reliable targets and are only playing because of trades and injuries that happened throughout the season. I don't expect much from the offense besides taking care of the ball and scoring in the red zone.

In the last 6 games we lost one of our best WRs in KB and we lost a good Rookie in Samuel. I mean what do you really expect when your number two WR is Bersin.

Sheppard, Clay, and Manhertz should not be on this team next year. They have all proven that they can't get open or catch the ball. Funchess, Bersin, Byrd, McCaffrey, and Dickson are the only ones that can actually do both.
