I mean I know everyone hates Shula as OC but… Cam went 51-28-1 Playoffs 4 of 5 years MVP it’s not the worst place to look for some plays.

Yeah, I was one of the first people to support Cam coming to Carolina. Way before it was trendy. My view then is my view now. Nothing has changed. It was a conditional. If you have Cam Newton. Then you let Cam do what makes Cam special. You let a lion roar. Otherwise, he isn’t special and then what’s the point. You let Cam be Cam. That’s how he could save our season. No point in neutering him. And given how late he is coming in you absolutely have to run him. and his entire career, I’ve been more worried about him getting hurt in the pocket than running.

In terms of his football body, Cam’s last healthy season was really 2020. And they ran the heck out of him. Cam was run harder last season than any of his career. Yes, he was quarantined with a virus during a pandemic for one game. That’s not an example of his body not holding up to a football season.

Cool, Russ does throw a better ball. But you are still just one way streeting it. and Cam is significantly bigger threat on the ground than Russ. Because Cam is much more than a scrambler and play extender. Cam can win virtually every one on one matchup going downhill. Which is something know one else has been able to do at the position. A power running QB.

We just need 2020 NE Cam to make a wildcard run. Pre covid preferably.

What 4 game stretch did this D lay an egg? Sam channeling Jimmy Clausen and imploding a teams chances to win isn’t the same thing as a D laying an egg. The 85 Bears wouldn’t of been the 85 Bears with Jimmy Clausen and Sam screwing them for 4 quarters

If the media would have left The Golden Calf of Bristol alone I do think he could of been a backup QB in this league. Maybe a gadget red zone insertion here or there. The Skip Bayless type folks that just lied about The Golden Calf of Bristol and made him miserable to bring on your roster…killed what would have been a solid Clipboard Jesus career (minus the hair but plus the Jesus swag).

Sometimes it is tough to tell the difference between decent comedy and crazy. My guess is that is just crazy.

I mean that isn’t probably true. And I am a Cam stan. we got a garbage OL. We can’t have a super tiny playbook and effectively get CMC going. PJ just being able to communicate to the team and audible into the right CMC play mattered on Sunday. Cam couldn’t do that yet. He might know what he would like to do vs looks….but communicating the actual plays to everyone in real time is different. it all depends how fast they can get Cam up and running….in what isn’t even a week and half. I’m no fan of setting Cam up to look bad. I want the Cam revival to work. And still don’t trust Rhule.

Nah, something wasn’t very wrong at all. we got out to a very big lead and quick….against the #4 D in the NFL and were starting a backup QB.

I mean it was 17-0 after a quarter of play. It was a shutout at the half. The game dictated pretty early how that game should be called. part of the reason CMC had a good game is PJ allowed them to run more of the playbook than if you put Cam out there all game. it continues to not actually be about PJ when PJ’s name comes up as needing work right now. You would give him snaps so more could be done. That means so other plays can do more too. Like CMC. You start Cam. Cam likely isn’t ready for 4 quarters yet. And that is okay. And if it wasn’t Ron, I’d throw him out there with a small package for 4 quarters.

Today? Yes. PJ presently has a significantly better understanding of the playbook…..and therefore can run more plays than Cam. Plays that barely involve him too. And he has the ability to communicate to everyone on the field and audible at the line. Which he did often last Sunday. Cam has been here 5 days. No one is happier to have Cam back than me. I’m also don’t want Rhule to screw Cam over. Again, it’s 5 days. The OL still sucks. And you need a lot of the playbook to get around the fact the OL sucks.

Well, when talking about rings, wins and to an extent points. A historically great defense that existed for a huge part of his career is a relevant part to the Russell Wilson story. but again, he is a HOF QB.

How many WRs were actually better players than Calvin Johnson? Lot of people had better careers. But they weren’t better. It’s not just career stats that determine how good someone is at football.

Wilson also played with one of the greatest defenses in the history of the NFL. And a lot of his success and accomplishments are tied to the situation he was in. He is a HOFer though regardless. I don’t considering him superior. I consider his situation superior to Cam’s.

Cam always faces incredible hate. From college, to day one of the NFL, through his entire NFL career... HOF consideration would be more of the same IMO. I mean, look who votes for it. Same type people that have always loved to kick Cam.

yep, PJ has done his job twice. Sam has imploded those type ideal situations. If your options for backup are only PJ or Sam? PJ.

I thought you said he was just an average QB. So now you have at least moved the bar up to not a HOF QB? I'll take that I guess. and when his career is done, there might be a HOF arguement. Again, he would be unique in terms of QBs and will have done things that will sit in the record books likely for decades and decades. Cam was the true start of a new era in the NFL. And that might get properly acknowledged later down the road pending how his career ends.

we cut him. we eat the cap hit. Sam serves no purprose here. That's the cold reality of the NFL.

worked pretty well last week.

Cam has the 9th best career ypc in NFL history. It's not like his career is a highlight reel of 1 yard dives. I broke it down a long time ago when people falsely claimed Cam was basically just a 1 yard TD vulture. Facts didn't back it then. I don't have the energy to prove that isn't the case again.

and he has 72 rushing TDs. Which somehow don't count in the NFL. Which is the most in NFL history by a QB. There is only one ball and one endzone. So he would be a better QB if he simply scored all his TDs in your preferred manner.

start Cam use PJ between the 20s after the opening drive.

Reddick the only unquestionable guy right now. He is the NFC sack leader and playing on fire. Pro Bowl requires either great stats or your name carrying over from prior seasons. Time on the field is presently working against a couple of our guys. CMC, Shaq, Gilmore.

Cam Newton is easily a greater short yardage threat than any of them. It isn't really close. Because Cam has a blocking advantage in the run game over a traditional RB....and the opponent still has to play the pass. You need one yard. Cam is the toughest threat. It is what it is. lol at Emmitt Smith. Cam is 6ft 5 in and a genentic freak on top of the above.
