    It kinda seems like we've got great talent at about every position but QB.

    An argument can be made that receivers aren't great, but even Smitty's production is way down. Does Smity suck, or does our QB?

    Frustrating. Great line, great backs, smitty, very solid TE corps.

    I don't think the line is great by any means, Smith sure but no other receivers are remarkable. None of the TEs are great. RBs are potentially great I guess.

    Deagelo and Smitty are elite. Stewart's a top 20 back in the league IMO. Past that I'm not crazy about our skill position guys.

    The O line may not be elite, but hardly the issue. We have better than average players, we have strong guys and athletic guys in the running game, and pass protection has not been horrible. Jake's had time more often than not.

    It's really about the skill positions on the passing game. We've got one elite WR, and marginal talent around him. Jake's play has declined, but the fact is we have been dealing with the lack of a secondary for years.

    Jarrett had a lot of chances last game on some passes that were there for the taking for a playmaker. Didn't come through. That hurt us more than anything.

    The most offensive talent I ever saw was a girl in San Fran who filled her maw with baby lotion and then laid on her back and shot it out like a hairy volcano.

    OL, it seems to be a huge difference between the ability to pass protect and run block. Still the most solid OL the Panthers have seen.

    Our WR's... outside of Smith, we don't have one on the team that could start for any other team in the league, and wouldn't even make the team on most... But in my opinion, it's not like Fox hasn't tried to get better talent in here over the years, they looked good on paper at the time.

    TE's not much more talented than our WR's

    Jarrett is a mistake. He would need to improve about 25% just to suck.

    oh, absolutely the version of the QB we have right now is the weak link.
    If he plays like last week, he's not bad, though. I'd take that guy every week.
