Based solely on today's loss.

Based solely on today's loss, what do you think is our biggest need in the off season?

 

Here is how I break it down.

 

The weakness at receiver was not as evident today.  I'm not even sure I remember any drops in this game.  Smith, Lafell, Ginn and Olsen all seemed to make plays today.

 

Not sure I'd blame Cam's sack on any of our guards or tackles.  Cam had plenty of time and it was our blocking backs and tight ends that could not hold their man.

 

I'm looking at our corners as our most glaring problem today.  Constantly were beat all day.  Kapernick didn't even have to scramble to make plays to his receivers.  Just straight up got beat.

 

And as many have said our play calling on offense is wanting.

i was impressed by the amount of time newton had in the pocket. if it wasn't for him getting beat up early in the game, he may have had the legs to make plays later in the game when no one was open.

 

something needs to be done about the run game. period.

 

no more patchwork secondary. what they did this season overall was commendable, but it's time for an over haul.

Oline, db, wr.

Oline needs personnel that match the teams philosophy. If this is a run first team, you need your oline to be a force, not merely adequate.

DB, defense is the best in the league once this gets fixed

WR, Ginn is improving but not a star, Lafell is essentially a skinny tight end praised for blocking but with bricks for hands. And 89, the best player this franchise has ever had, may be done. At most he has a year left.

I still think WR is #1, O line to me is good for the pure fact it was a patch job for much of the season, if we can get a healthy Oline...that is an area I think we will be fine at.  CB is #2 to me, we had great fill-ins this year but not a shut-down corner like we wanted.

100% WR.  Then secondary, then O-line.  If we don't address anything on the defensive side of the ball we'll still be a top 10 defense, and if thats what we gotta do to get some serious offensive firepower around Cam, then do it.

    • I saw that too--and what you said made sense because there is something like that in the rules--said that he is unlikely to get picked up (and I was not suggesting that we do) and Jones wants to go to a winning team.   After getting beaten to death in NY behind a sub par OL, poor WRs, and brutal fan base, I get it. 
    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I’ll admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.
