Also, the Cardinals are the #4 defense in the NFL. This isn’t the Jets. Got to keep that in mind when people nitpick the play of a backup QB.

We have 2 confident QBs playing today.

Connor isn’t a beast. He is having a decent season. Had one great random game. He is in AZ because he isn’t a beast. And he largely plays second fiddle to Edmonds and vultures TDs. Too much stock in one game where where so many new guys were on the field. NFL is all about game tape. McCoy had 63 QBR for a reason too. He wasn’t out there doing a lot despite that completion percentage. D should be able to feast if Kyler and Nuk are out But it is worth noting that PJ will be facing a much tougher test today than Sam had all year.

NFL is notorious for doubling down on clear mistakes. It’s like that Bears player that was hip checked by the ref. He got a fine.

what’s the most important stat in football?

They aren’t even close to the best team in the NFL without Kyler and Nuk on the field. and what is this nonsense about McCoy lol

I don’t think it is a poo team. We have had the NFL worst QB imploding us. we have the #2 D in the NFL right now. That gift wrapped a bunch a games for us and we still gave it away. Largely because Sam couldn’t do basics the last 5 weeks.

Matt Rhule.

If Cam is simply 2020 Cam. That is a good pairing with this D and team.

I remember Sam clausening our team the last 5 weeks. Say what you want about PJ. Clausening ain't his game. Rule out the the chance of the upset if you like. But not this guy. Not on the week we saw Cam Newton return.

to my knowledge, Murray and Nuk have been out all week. They both missed last week's game. That's why we have a shot at the upset.

Not turning the ball over. Some average offense. With the AZ injuries pending no surprises the D should be able to take it to that O. If we can control PJ's aggressive throws. I think we have a shot. And I still think he should take some shots. But where you greenlight that matters.

PJ is simply easier and more fun to root for than a Sam or even a Will Grier. Think @Mage sums the why part up perfectly above. Hoping whatever has to happen does....so that I can show up and give you all the Lavar Ball gif you deserve late Sunday.

that was surprisingly worth the quick visit

and Cam hits you with the Keep Pounding at the end. Nice.

Cam won 7 last year with NE....and that roster was comically bad. It was a weak roster that was then hammered by COVID holdouts on top of that. I mean, NE Cam would have had this version of the Panthers at the top of the NFC if he was here from the jump. It's still amazing the offense was bad enough to lose some of those giftwrapped games the D gave us.

guessing it would take too much attention away from things right now. Think that was the point of putting Shaq out there to start stuff off. In house, they are trying to pull an uspet to help stay in this thing. So there is something to the team rallying around PJ and not Cam in the present moment. I would assume early next week Cam gets thrown out there. Plus, you can put him out there next week and then have him play some maybe I'll start this week and maybe I won't. Not that it really helps that week. I mean, Ron knows Cam better than any other coach so I it isn't much of a monkey wrench to have that unknown hanging out there

I think with no input from Joe Brady....this front office could of easily thought Teddy made sense if they wanted to be done with Cam. So you take Cam away and ask this front office to then look around for a band-aid? Well, that was Teddy. That wouldn't be a unique Joe Brady take IMO. Matt Rhule knew he had limited time and he knew Teddy knew the system he was going to run. Joe Brady isn't a Rhule guy. Snow is a Rhule guy. There just hasn't been any indication IMO that Brady has any real pull here. We know Snow does. I don't think it makes a lot of sense to believe a random first time OC that Rhule doesn't even know.....dictated how the foundation of the Matt Rhule era kicked off.

people keep saying this. There has never been any evidence that Joe Brady has any decision making power or real influcence with Matt Rhule. We know Phil Snow does. That's it.

Best Cam was always the slow no huddle Cam.

Yes. If he plays well you bring him back. You then draft a kid. Let him learn behind Cam. Obviously you don't give Cam a mega deal. But you pay him very well in short increments. Basically what we should of done this whole time. Kept Cam. Paid him well on shorter contracts as we monitored his health. Drafted Fields. Fields learns behind Cam in an offense that would have already been slanted to what you would want to do with Fields.

Cam Newton is still the best 4th and 1 call in the NFL. That's over anyone.

Just let Cam make up his own dang plays.

Give how tough the redzone is. How important it is. And how tough that area is for PJ. I don't see why you wouldn't have a Cam package vs AZ. I mean you could make it two plays. Some type of RPO with CMC and a then some type of QB power play.
