Hot Take: Cam Newton’s receivers suck

The Panthers have a serious problem on their hands — they have no one who can catch the ball at WR.

Okay, that’s perhaps the hottest take of the offseason, but the WR position without Kelvin Benjamin is a seriously dire situation for Carolina, which is going to be very heavily reliant upon Greg Olsen in the passing game. The silver lining in all this is that Ted Ginn is going to get another chance to prove he’s the same guy we all saw at Ohio State…

This is a really interesting game for a variety of reasons, but seeing Cam Newton throw to the group of wide receivers he has at his disposal is easily the most intriguing.
