This is why we need to spend a 1st rounder on a WR, we need someone like Sammy Watkins that can develop that relationship with Cam, because it's so important.  Look at the list of recent pairings you posted

 

 Tom Brady and Wes Welker

- Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall

- Ben Roethlisberger and Hines Ward - Fell apart and out of playoff contention without him

- Carson Palmer and Chad Johnson -  Fell apart and out of playoff contention without him

- Matt Stafford and Calvin Johnson

- Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson

- Philip Rivers and Vincent Jackson-  Fell apart and out of playoff contention without him

- Drew Brees and Marques Colston

 

Rivers and Keenan Allen, though, seem to be forging a new friendship. Playoffs looks to be in their future.  Most certainly, touchdowns.

Historically speaking, when you think of a lot of great quarterbacks, you also think of receivers associated with them. Truth be told, some quarterbacks have gone from good/very good to great primarily because the team found them their 'partner in crime', that receiver with whom they share a chemistry so strong it borders on ESP.

.......

Some more recent pairings:

- Tom Brady and Wes Welker

- Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall

- Ben Roethlisberger and Hines Ward

- Carson Palmer and Chad Johnson

- Matt Stafford and Calvin Johnson

- Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson

- Philip Rivers and Vincent Jackson

- Drew Brees and Marques Colston

And for a fella by the name of Jake Delhomme, there was this guy named Stevonne Smith. At the moment, those two still would be considered the most prolific passing combo in Panthers team history.

So here's the question...

Is Steve Smith also 'that guy' for Cam Newton, or is Newton still waiting for his 'partner in crime'?

Given the difference in age and the vast gulf between where they are on their career paths, can Smith really be the guy that, over the long term, makes fans cheer and defenses fear?

And if the answer to that is 'no', then who might that guy be? Where do we find him?

 

 

I'm not a GM but I say the best odds are we look to draft  WR named "Johnson" 

 

Although that sounds more like a Craigslist ad than the classy match dot com you kind of referred to

      As long as we have DB, odd man fronts are the way to go for us. We want to line DB up between the guard and tackle (4i-tech) because of how quick he is off the snap and his punch on the guard off the snap. If anyone is wondering why he pretty much has to be doubled (or combo blocked) just about every snap, its because he is lined up in that spot in our odd man front. If we change to an even front, it becomes a lot harder to have DB play the 4i-tech.  Not sure if I would say Evero likes smaller NTs - I wouldn't call Bobby Brown a small NT by any sense. I think we run a 1-tech NT, so they are usually getting double teamed (or combo blocked) by concept alone. I actually think Bobby Brown did a pretty good job of eating blocks and being positionally sound on most runs at him (not his fault we were rocking ass LBs last year + Wharton being god awful). The bigger problem came on the toss plays/outside runs where DB wasn't able to blow it up in the backfield (i.e., the Bills game). Lloyd should help with the run D and getting a rangy LB in the draft will definitely help. There are also some good 1-tech DTs (and 0-techs) that can be instant day 1 starters for us in the draft.

      Thanks for bringing receipts. I appreciate the facts, but they are a stark contrast to what we see on the ice, but maybe, as I've said before, his "aw sh!t" moments just seem to weigh heavier than his "attaboy" moments.
