Only 1 team in the last 18 years has won a SuperBowl with a receiving group as awful as ours. The 2000 Baltimore Ravens

Heres a painful reminder of what a terrible job the front office has done putting talent on the offensive side of the ball and why its unlikely we'll last long in these playoffs. I respect everybody that puts on an NFL uniform, much less a Carolina Panthers one but to have several UDFAs on the roster at the same position, seeing significant playing time AND expecting to make a run is ridiculous.  You can make the argument that we have the worst WR group of the 12 teams (probably about even with Buffalo), and if we were to go on some magical superbowl run it would literally buck every trend we've seen the last 18 years of NFL group. Look at the some talent on these rosters.

2000 Rams- Holt, Bruce, (Also had Hall of famers Faulk, Warner)

2001 Ravens- Dud, but that defense was historically dominate

2002 Bucs- Prime Keyshawn Johnson and Keenan McCardell was a better than average 2

2003 Pats- Branch, Troy Brown

2004 Pats- Branch, Givens, Patten

2005 Steelers- Hines Ward, Randle El

06 Colts- Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harrison (I don't know how this team didn't win more)

07 Giants - Plax, Toomer

08 Steelers- Holmes, Hines Ward

09 Saints- Colston, Henderson (Reggie Bush)

10 Packers - Donald Driver, Greg Jennings

11 Giants - Manningham, Nicks

12 Ravens - Boldin, Torrey Smith

13 Seahawks- Doug Baldwin, Golden Tate

14 Pats- Edelman, Lafell, (Gronk)

15 Broncos - Sanders, Thomas

16 Pats- Hogan, Edelman

 

 

Even some of the underwhelming names on that list are miles ahead of everybody not named Devin Funchess, and Funchess is probably a#2 WR at absolute best in this league. If Cam Newton can manage to lead the team to a W on Sunday build him a damn statue overnight in front of BOA. It is criminal what the team has surrounded him with at WR and no Coach/QB in modern history has been as successful as Cam and Rivera given the talent the front office has put on the field. In fact, look at the entirely of NFL history. What "great" QB has had any level of sustainable success without dependable targets at WR, much less made a playoff run. The sad thing is the Colin Cowherds of the world will get on TV Monday morning and talk about how bad and inconsistent Cam is.

Not so sure the '13 Hawks' receiving group was much better than ours now... Doug Baldwin was young and has improved a ton year to year, he wasn't really that good then. Tate and Funch are a wash. They had Harvin but he wasn't involved on offense at all. Great running game with Lynch. But no good TE, which is where Olsen makes our receiving group probably better than theirs that year.

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      Film Room Playlist _ NFL Pro — Mozilla Firefox 2024-11-25 10-20-11.mp4 🎯🎯🎯 There were a couple of "fans" yesterday saying that this wasn't a helmet-to-helmet shot... 👀 Looks like based on where Moore was and where the play ended, he'd have gotten maybe just a yard or two more. Chuba was downed at the KC 16 and Moore was on his way back to the QB, so the offense got what they could for the most part. After reviewing the all-22, Bryce made the right call here. Tremble was the hot and KC sent both LBs. He gets it out with a clear pocket but it's quickly collapsing. If there was a little more time it looked like AT came free at the end but whether or not Bryce would've been upright still is another story. Smart move to get the completion and keep the field goal in play to stay alive. George Karlaftis is about to get himself a big ole hug and Bryce heaves it to where David Moore is going. Trent McDuffie slipped just a step or two before this shot, but we can see the clear DPI here as he's wrapped around David Moore before knocking him over as the ball gets there.

      I’m taking a TE early day 3 Ian Thomas and Tremble are FA.  We should have no desire to bring them back.   There’s more than enough film of ball bouncing off their hands or facemask.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      Daniel Jones sometimes would sling it for 300 or 400 yards.  That's my stance.  We know what Bryce is.  If you consistently play any QB at this level, they largely are going to end up w/ some good days/games.  last time Mahomes was at BOA, Teddy Bridgwater threw for 300+ yards and a couple TDs and the Matt Rhule Panthers almost took him down.  We know what Bryce is.  Now we got people predictably falling into a predictable trap.
