What is the problem with our offense?

Coming off this game where Cam was over 300 yds passing and td/int of 3/1; what in your mind is the issue with this offense.

I'm seeing two issues that cost us this and the previous game with the Steelers. First, the time the offensive line is giving Cam on third down. Injuries have decimated our line this year and it shows up specifically on third down, maybe someone else can expound on this point. Second, drops by the wr on the offense (funchess). Cam has been very accurate on many throws that were dropped and cost us drives. Though he does throw up the occasional headscratcher with the bad oline play and has difficulty finding his drop down option in CMC.

curtis samuel not being on the field enough is a big problem.. insisting on running CMC every single time is a mistake.

We probably don’t run him enough since he averages 4.6 but gets 13 carries per game compared to close to 20 for guys like Elliot and gurley. We start giving him carries at first and though he has success we go away from the running game

Funchess killed our drives. It’s hard to win when your supposed number 1 drops 5 passes. Take him off the field and give opportunities to guys who can make plays.

I don't recall, but were his drops mostly 2nd or 3rd down plays? Those can seriously throw off the possession.

Tempo

Let Cam run the offense the way he wants, the tempo he wants. We also struggle coming out of half-time, I don't know why. We suck in the 3rd, come alive in the 4th

Then you got personnel, more Moore and Samuel. Any reason why Ian Thomas can't get any snaps?

I agree. Whenever we play with up tempo we basically dominate on offense. We also seem to run the ball very well in our up tempo offense.

I think if Tyreek Hill were on this team, Ron would have him as the 5th option.   All of this crap about X, Y, Z receivers doesn't matter, you figure out a way to get your playmakers on the field.   Moore / Samuel / Wright, it isn't hard to figure out who the 3 best receivers this year have been.

Yep.

First half of the season you find out who you can count on and the rest of the season you lean on the ones you can count on.

Imo, the guys with a catch % over 70% are the ones who have proven reliable. That would be CMC, DJ, Samuel, Wright, and Olsen. Right there is plenty of targets who can be counted on. Trying to make Funchess out to be a #1 is a mistake and that option needs to be taken off the field and his snaps given to Samuel so Cam can focus on guys who make things happen.

      Man whether it's the Panthers or the Hornets it's crazy how many foolish talking heads there are in the local media. I just unsubscribed from locked on Hornets. Doug Branson with his cheesy mustache is an absolute clown especially when his partner isn't on. Talking about trading LaMelo because he can't win basketball games by himself with no semblance whatsoever of a legitimate Center. These YouTube personalities will say anything for a damn click.

      Dream big: Imagine this future and tell me how you feel

      I’m hoping for that exact same scenario, two seconds would be big for us. I’d hope for 3 impact players. A WR/DL/DE that can contribute like this current class would be key to our rebuild.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      When I look at what I can find, a carryover problem from last season is our receivers are still unable to get enough separation on a consistent basis. Canales is certainly better at scheming them open, like how he sneaked out Thielen for a big play. But then he's also having Thielen running routes he frankly shouldn't be doing anymore. I feel part of the RZ issues is not really having anyone - after trading Diontae - who can make those quick cuts on a short field to give whoever is under center a wider window to throw. We also only have one guy with blazing speed in Thompkins and from what I could see, he's really used more to draw away coverage. I bring this all up because what Canales needs for sustained success - other than QB - is the other receiver pieces we'll be getting in the offseason.  Otherwise, I have to say that Canales isn't as afraid to be aggressive offensively. As others mentioned, still doesn't run the ball enough at times. Finally, I still feel his playcalls still doesn't line up with his mantra of getting rid of the ball within x amount of seconds. Maybe I count too slow. Oh, and I'm glad Canales first game after a bye looked good. I feared he'd be like Ron Rivera where we would fall flat on our faces.
