CAn the Panthers Win with This Receiving group?

[Davidson Deac II]

Taking a look at the Receiver group of the Panthers I noticed 2 big things. First thing is they are very young and inexpirenced besides Steve Smith. Second thing I noticed is the drop off of talent after Smith.

So questions arises, can the Panthers win with this receiving corp?

Do the receivers have enough talent to keep teams honest?

If they are that young, then how can you determine how talented they are? No one knew how talented Steve Smith was until he actually played a couple of years.

rookie receivers and rookie qbs do not mix... there will be plenty of bad passes and miscommunication this year

Jimmy Clausen is the number three QB at the moment and, until we're told otherwise, Matt Moore is the starter. Pretty sure that means we don't have a rookie QB.

hell no

You're right guys. It won't be possible to replace unstoppable Moose with the notably faster rookies. We're focked.

I think we will see a heavier dose of passing to TE's, especially early on. King is a 5 yd guy, but the other 2 can stretch the field a little. That will take a some pressure off the rookies. And, Jarrett did look better with Moore in there. Actually, so did Smitty.

Matt Moore will make Jarrett look like Jerry Rice.

We knew Smith was talented. He made the pro-bowl his rookie year as a returner and was a pretty good receiver at Utah along with Ocho Cinco. And once he started to play receiver he did pretty well right away. He has more yards and catches in his first full year as a receiver (2002) than Jarrett has in his career.

Ocho Cinco went to Oregon State. He and Smitty played JuCo together at Santa Monica CC.

The giants were very effective last season with the "other" Steve smith and two rookies...Nicks and manningham. So yes, we can win and we can an highly effective offense. Our problem or potential problem will stem from how the defensive line plays...and whether or not they can produce.

exactly. stop worrying about our offense people.... our defense will determine our season.

They can win. They won't be any worse than they've been for a while.

We knew he had speed and could run with the ball, but I don't think many knew how good a receiver he was going to be.

But the point is, none of these guys have played much, so imo its to early to make a blanket statement that they are not very talented.
