Perspective, Directive, and Erective - The Panthers offensive woes and you

[top dawg]

Fair point about the O-line getting blown up that play. I was so fixated on Hubbard, that I missed the complete collapse. Speaking of Chuba, he even caught a clean pass last night. He's going to have to continue to work on his hands. That's the only way that I'm gonna be sold on him. That, and the ability to block consistently, but I believe the latter will come with development.

Slye may be a likeable kid, but...

Props for Grier showing improvement!

Shi Smith was a bright spot on several very bad South Carolina teams. I’ve watched him make tough, contested catches for 4 years. He’s an absolute baller. 
 

I agree about the oline. Put Brown and Christensen on the right side and let’s roll.

I think that Shi Smith put any talk of him not making the team to bed last night. You said it right: he's a baller. And, no one can legitimately say otherwise.

Carolina has had redzone issues over the years that spilled into the regular season even with a running threat like Newton. To think this won't translate at all is naive. They can and will get better but our run blocking needs to be fixed first. And ffs stop signing these bums to protect your investment!

This is a lot of an excuse making and I can appreciate you trying to calm the masses. However certain things that teams struggle with in the preseason absolutely show up in the regular season. 
 

That being said we really have no clue because Darnold hasn’t played.

Kick the kicker

Slye is gone, so don't even worry about this. Would not shock me to see the ECU kid on the Ravens get picked up by us. He looked pretty good. 

This is so disappointing to me. I was really pulling for him. He's got such a powerful leg, if he could just improve his consistency, he'd be a stud. But we've given him more than enough time to get whatever his issue is figured out. And at this point I thin the problem is more between his ears than anything with his mechanics. So yeah, he's gone, and I don't see how you could possibly think otherwise after Rhule's comments last night. That was almost like the Fredo speech.

We'll meet our new players after the 3rd pre season game.  Also that'll give the new kicker ( fingers crossed)  and other possible starters  over 2 weeks before the opening game Sept 12.   

No, not the way I'd draw it up..  I'd have our 53 plus players in our own camp now... but they'll be coming soon and have a couple of weeks to get acclimated to our system.

GO PANTHERS

The biggest problem this team faces in 2021 is a horrible lack of depth. This showed against the Colts and again against the Ravens. This won’t be fixed this year, it will take another off-season. So just cross your fingers and hope we can stay relatively healthy.

[CanePantherHornet]

This gets even more annoying when you find out that the Lions fuged us out of Sewell and they aren't even playing him at LT

It looked to me like Paradis was doing a 5 step drop.

I cannot imagine Elfein staying in the starting lineup for long. 

...unless he's moved to his more natural position and replaces Paradis at center.

This^ 

The team is obviously lacking in depth and is not quite ready to hang with the perennial playoff teams just yet.  

The are still 1 or 2 good drafts away from getting the depth they want.  Another draft like the last one and we are pretty damn close.  Just my observation. 

[Zod]

Hard to develop depth when 1 guy from the entire 2019 draft is worth a damn.

Who is playing FB and “lead blocking” on that goal line play?
