IMO, If we are giving Cam weapons, I would go with a vet WR over a high draft pick. They know what it takes to be successful, and could potentially develop chemistry with Cam quicker. Even the best rookies take time to develop, and we don't have that luxury. We still need to bring in some youth to grow with Cam. Just not as a starter.

Same with CB. Bring in a talented vet. We have the kids to fight out for the other spots. It could behoove us to lock down a lock down CB to settle down, and mentor, the kids.

O-line is another story in my book. Lots of kids come in and produce right away. 1st pick LT, second pick RG, 3rd pick best playmaker left, then go BPA on Offense the rest of the way.

If we are going to spend money on any FA I want a vet QR and CB.

So in conclusion. A quality vet WR, and Ginn jr. on the outside. Smitty in the slot, with Olsen at TE. That should give Cam plenty of weapons. We got Barner who has speed. Add a couple more next year and this Offense could be dangerous.

I agree with a lot of what you said.

 

IMO, I believe this team should have been seriously grooming a WR or two three years ago when they acquired Cam. Many on here want to believe that Smitty still has it, and I'm sure he does, but this team shouldn't be about one person and their personal stats. Smitty, like the other WRs, should be out there earning his stats, not having Cam play favoritism. Especially if he's not delivering.

 

During the Giants Game, Cam and the other WRs not named Smitty, was connecting. All of a sudden the Offense reverted back to looking like games one and two on this past Sunday. I remembered some folks were making a big deal out of Cam not scanning the field and only seemed to zoom in on Smitty in games one and two.  I honestly want to know what happened mentally to the team that they went from playing so weak the first two games, to lightening it up in game three, back to playing weak by game four. Let's be real, the Giants game wasn't all about the Defense. The Offense did put up 38 points. So what happened?

 

The O-line is another story. But it's sort of feed into the whole if Cam is showing favoritism because he's asked too, then him taking to long to get rid of the ball, as some of you have stated happened this past Sunday, because he was waiting for Smitty to get open, does affect the O-line. Especially when they are not that strong to begin with.

 

It's time for this team to really stop with all this sentimentality. Like other teams, every position has a responsibility. Smitty might be Cam's go to man but if Smitty is not stepping up, then it's time for Cam to find another Go to guy or two that can run fast, jump high, and go the extra distance to help his team.

Our receiving crew is truly awful.  I mean putting that perspective on it is a hard hit.

 

Free-Agent wise, we've given Cam:

 

Legedu Naanee

Louis Murphy

Domenick Hixon

Tedd Ginn Jr.

 

I mean the FA is where it's easy to identify who can help you out because of the sampling from other teams and we've given Cam crap.

 

Really, we've given Cam these freaking wideouts to help him out and at the most drafted Joe Adams and Pilares.  It's just flat out wrong.

and what is this team doing with those guys?

 

When I listen to those Talking Heads speak of their favorite teams, all I keep hearing is, Peyton Manning's "go to" WRs  or Drew Brees "go to" WRs. When the Choosen QB's WRs are performing well, they are called out. Who are Cam's "go to" WRs? And when Smitty demands that he be the "go to" WR any given Sunday, does the others simply fall back and  do their job in hopes that Cam will look their way?

 

In all honesty, there doesn't seem to be any real consistance with this team. One week Cam is sharing the love with his WRs. The next week it's all about Smitty.

      Updated 2025 draft order

      By Champagnepapi704 · Posted

      The qb position has been eliminated due to the low probability of the success of selecting one early.  This part got me hollering the most "You can't get so hyperfocused on one position(even the most important position in football like QB) that you just draft a QB and any QB. This leads to wasted draft picks and years of torment as you are stuck in a development cycle for nothing." " "Also, if we don't get our franchise QB this draft....oh well. We got the next dozen or so drafts to keep taking cracks at it."

      Then be prepared to draft a QB the next year. When the best one would surely not play here. Then what?   This fanbase keeps preaching patience, while other bottom feeders are finding their QB's. Panthers fans are becoming blind. The losing has caught up to the fanbase. We preaching patience when we have been a bad franchise ever since Tepper took over.   But because you don't like Sanders or Ward we should pass on a QB. Then when they become franchise changers you feel bad.   Everyone knows this franchise will continue to suck until they get a franchise QB. Chasing LBs and DEs isn't helping us. We can address the defense after we get the QB.   Cmon Hepcat don't let the blind lead you they blind for a reason!

      Imagine posting on a forum to mock people for posting on a forum. Whether you realize it or not you just played yourself. LOL  Guess what? We've heard people like you lecture people with opinions about how *insert former Panthers front office or coach moron* knows best and we're all just idiots. This forum exists to discuss Panthers football and that includes *GASP* sharing opinions that may be contrary to what the Panthers end up doing.  If you just want a circle jerk of an echo chamber reassuring you that everything the Panthers do is brilliant despite the abysmal record on the field, I think they made a Discord group for that.
