Our 27th ranked pass offense comes down to not enough playmakers


top dawg

Recommended Posts

In what catagory are we 27th?

 

We're 3rd in yards given up.

 

2nd in TD's given up (only stat that really matters)

 

We're 18th in sacks- which sucks for us.

 

We're tied for 7th in INT's.

 

So, what exactly is your complaint? Please tell me it isn't completion percentage, that would be stupid.

 

Pass OFFENSE, JOA.

you're looking at the wrong side of the ball i believe.  this is just another whiny bitchy thread where someone is complaining about lack of wr's.

 

We have WRs, most of which would not be befitting of a starting position on true contenders, but are apparently good enough for pretenders.

It makes sense that our passing attack is ranked low in yards because we are also 29th in attempts.  Some of that is the fact we played one less game but it is also due to the fact that we pass less than other teams.  Plain and simple.  We are balanced as opposed to teams that pass every down.  So why is our yards per game also down this year?  Much of that is due to a lower yards per pass average and taking much fewer shots down field.  In the past we had one of the highest yards per pass attempt and one of the highest yards per pass average.  Is Cam different because Shula isn't letting him play or because he has to find the check down more often because opposing teams are blitzing more often this year and the o-line hasn't held up that well.

Smith would be good anywhere, Ginn is proving he should have gotten more looks elsewhere and Lafell is getting back to form. Olsen is a great TE and we have guys like Tolbert and Williams out of the backfield.  Given we are not going to pass on every down, exactly how many passes are there left to go around?  We could use one more great receiver to take pressure off of Smith and replace him when he retires.  Otherwise I think the "most" characterization is way overblown.

I think AZ had a great run D and made us one dimensional.....hence the passing yards being up.  If WRs caught balls early.....we could of stomped them passing.

The OL is holding the offense back, end of story.

 

I think this is spot on.

 

We have enough skill players at RB, WR, TE, and QB. 

 

WR's are not an all-pro group, but Smitty, LaFell, and Ginn are definitely enough to get it done.

 

DWill, Stew, Barner, and Tolbert make a stellar backfield.

 

Olsen is a great TE....hope Williams can be that #2 TE that we need.

 

Cam does have the weapons....what we need is an upgrade and infusion on the OL.  Better run and pass blocking would really open this offense up.

we make things hard on ourselves.  OL is a prime example.

 

also, living in the past w/ 89 makes it hard on Cam.   Basically our primary WR is a 5 ft something possession WR.  That doesn't really mesh w/ Cam's style and strength's either.

Smitty is our only sure stater on another team. Lafell  "getting back to form" is funny as hell (LOL). When he strings together more than three games (perhaps two) of 100 yard performances, then you may have an argument there---a shaky one, at that. His form is doing well for three, maybe four games a year. The NFL has waited on Ginn for going on  eight years to break out.  So, no, I don't think that "most" is overblown.

Regardless of these posts

 

1st pick this year should be WR. Watch we ONCE AGAIN don't do it and every Panther fan won't have a problem with it

only problem is we won't have a LT or RT or RG of starting caliber on the roster...
