The Panthers’ offense was explosive last season, but it won’t last with the current wide receiver corps they have in place.  The current batch was inconsistent at points in the season, and the defense was able to save them.

Moving forward, Carolina needs to find true playmakers to help take some of the burden off of Cam Newton.  Will Fuller from Notre Dame could be the playmaker they need, and teaming him with Kelvin Benjamin will give the Panthers a dynamic duo to drive defenses crazy.

If the Panthers had Benjamin and a good, fast, underneath target, maybe things against Denver would have gone differently.  Drafting Fuller gives them a chance to find out.
