The Panthers’ previous front office failed to build a wide receiver core with depth. Largely due to this failure, the Panthers’ exited the playoffs early. Additionally, the injuries received to by the Panthers’ wide outs forced Cam Newton to throw to the pitiful wide receiver trio of Brenton Bersin, Kaelin Clay, and Devin Funchess: all of whom failed to haul in potential game-altering throws. Just look at the Wild Card Game against the New Orleans Saints during the playoffs. Despite Cam zipping the ball into extremely tight windows, none of those receivers could catch!
Ex-General Manager Dave Gettleman completely failed to surround Cam Newton with weapons.
