Andy: Addition by subtraction.


To be fair, this is what happened to our defense, addition by subtraction and we went from worst in NFL history to top 5.

the author may have a point considering Steve Smith is past his prime and LaFell and Ginn are not even WR2 worthy.

We really didn't change a whole lot of personnel last year. Ellis wasn't retained. Smith was injured in preseason.

We brought in Butler, but he didn't play a snap. Lewis and Vacarro were the real key.

And our personnel wasn't the biggest factor for our defense's performance in 12, but it was how our personnel was used (for things they weren't good at) and a confusing, convoluted system where responsibilities weren't clear.

So you saw a real turnaround when Ryan came in because he built his defense around what the players he had were good at.

Carolina isn't changing systems. I don't see that type of improvement.

Honestly we don't have a true wr1 and haven't really had one since Joe Horn. Colston is really a 2 playing a 1 and benefits from playing with a hof QB. Not taking anything from Colston but its the truth
