Well, “we” got one (Davidson) from Cleveland and one (Tolbert) from Buffalo. I wasn’t wow’ed by either when they were signed.

The Panthers must employee a new strength coach. Across the board they have weak legs and poor arm strength.
Only John Fox would employ an offensive lineman as an Offensive Coordinator, although, play calling seemed a little better against the Bengals.
The offense needs to double or triple the play reps in practice. The timing of the receivers and quarterback is terrible.
Typically, our receivers make virtually no effort in running their patterns. They are slowing down before the QB plants his feet. They never never achieve separation. No exceptions…Apparently the offensive coordinator and the receivers coach do not possess the skill level to recognize these issues.

I don’t think Carolina “should” lose. I think they may well lose but that isn’t the same thing. The reality is that we have the raw talent to win this. The questions are can we limit the mistakes enough to do so, can we mix up the play calling a enough to do so and can we transition to more of a west coast passing game to take advantage of our new QBs best throws? Clausen is not a deep passer. He is a west coast passer. Patient, willing to dump it off and extremely accurate up to mid range. So I believe if we can do better than average in those 3 areas than we have a legit shot. And yes I didn’t mention the D or Special teams. Because they are on pace and improving. I expect them to do what they have to. The offense is the gaping hole in this team right now.
