Mr Mojo Risin

Because he isn't the problem. How can a guy who's been here for a month be the reason for our offense and defense sucking for the last 2 seasons? Explain that to me.

Because of the incredible drive and work ethic that a player like that possesses. If you think any regular Joe Schmo can come into the NFL and have a career like Cam has had you are sadly mistaken.

And how many of those players had to learn their playbook and teammates on the fly? Remember he joined NE 5 weeks before the season started. No other starting QB has had to do that. Then he comes here and has to play behind this god awful fuging oline. He has put together great drives in every game he has played for us these last few weeks. The oline ends up getting man handled and it fugs everything up as the game goes on it really isn't that hard to see.

How many other Qbs were signed off the street during the middle of the season to start for a franchise this year? None other than Cam Newton. Last year? None. That is some terrible logic you just used. When Cam became available the last TWO offseasons every other team already had their plan settled at QB. He wasn't even available this offseason. The Pats waited until after preseason game #3 to make the decision to release him. Teams don't wait until after TC to figure out who their starter is at the QB position. It's funny people want to judge how good of a QB Cam is but the dude hasn't had an offseason full of OTAs, mini camp and training camp with a team since before the 2019 season. He's had to learn the playbook on the fly and adjust to the chemistry w/ his teammates DURING THE SEASON. No other QB has had to do that

People really don't understand the game of football and how important it is that your quarterback has time within the offense he's playing in to learn the playbook and get the timing down within the scheme with motions, progressions and overall chemistry with his teammates. Cam hasn't been afforded that opportunity yet. With the Patriots or the Panthers. He had 5 weeks to learn the Patriots offense and playbook. He had a whole 1.5 weeks to learn ours before he started a game. What can you honestly expect him to do? He has not had a full offseason with a team since the 2019 season when he got hurt in the preseason. Hopefully he comes back next year but I doubt it.

When he first got here he said he didn't believe in firing coordinators or assistant coaches

Henderson must be over a 100 passer rating when targeted since he's not on this list

Cam was on the roster for less than 3 weeks. He's the last one to blame for Sundays loss some of you are literally brain dead or just plain dislike Cam. Idk, but whatever it is it's very weird

Need to resign Cam to a 1 year deal and have him and Darnold battle it out in camp. Give Cam a legitimate shot to prove he can still lead a franchise. The dude has had to learn the playbook on the fly his last 2 seasons in the NFL w/ no offseason with his teammates...QB is the most important position when establishing timing and comfort level within the scheme anyone expecting Cam to play lights out on such short notice is asking quite a lot especially with this offensive line and an injured CMC. ALL of our resources this offseason need to go into the O-Line. Even if its at the expense of resigning some of our defensive FA's. I'd much rather have O-Line help than Reddick, Gilmore, and Jackson (Would love to resign Reddick if we can manage it though) Rhule gets a 3rd season to prove this team can be trending in the right direction. Bringing in a new HC and FO with the draft picks we have and the cap situation next year is not a smart move. Give Rhule a 3rd season and if he fails we likely end up with a top 5-10 pick and that's when you make the move to hire a new regime

I feel the Carolina Panthers best solution is to continue to grind out the season and maybe get to 7 or 8 wins by years end if we're lucky. Let the team continue to learn together through trial by fire. Rhule gets a 3rd and final year to show real improvement in the team which I feel is fair. We've added a lot of new players in a short amount of time, give them the rest of the year and an entire offseason to grow and learn together. Bring Cam back for at least 1 more year and let him, Darnold, and PJ battle it out in TC. We have no draft picks. There are no Qbs worth tanking for in this draft, worst case scenario we suck even worse next year, fire Rhule, secure a top pick with a new HC that has a full draft at his disposal. Bringing in a new HC this offseason would do nothing productive. Let Rhule try and focus on the O-line, let Donte go in FA, resign Reddick, bring in some O-lineman and d-lineman and see if we can make a run at the playoffs next year.

I'm surprised the OP has enough brain cells to login to the internet and actually post this drivel....sheesh

I'm the emotional one that needs to grow up? But you are the one that is "reporting, blocking, and ignoring" me. LOL. Keep living in your "fantasy world" little guy

By progression you are talking about seasons 2011 -> 2012 correct? The years in which we went 6-10 and then 7-9? Well if Rhule manages to win 2 more games this year that puts us at a 7-10 record. The 2012 Carolina Panthers were 3-8 during Rivera's 2nd season as HC before closing out the season with a 5-1 record. Was that clear progression evident when the 2012 team was 2-8 during the first 10 weeks of that season? No, it wasn't it looked a lot like regression from 2011. I imagine these forums then looked a lot like they do right now.

5-11 -> 7-10 is technically an improvement no matter how ugly it looked at times. Like I've been saying you don't go after a "program builder" sign him to a 7 year deal to fire him after 2 seasons especially since its the first HC you ever hired. Has nothing to do with money

Oh no you're going to block/ignore me? :((((((( You have no idea how sad that is going to make me

Sure you can assume that it would be easy for anyone to assume that about a team thats played like this one has the last 2 weeks

I don't care either way maybe adjust your reading glasses or something? Let me summarize my last 5 posts to help you understand. I. Was. Against. The. Matt. Rhule. Coaching. Hire. And. He. Signed. A. 7. Year. Contract. As. A. Program. Builder. So. We. Are. Likely. Going. To. See. Him. Get. At. Least. 3. Seasons. As. Coach. Of. The. Carolina. Panthers. Did that help you understand? Let me know I can try crayon next

This is the NFL nothing ever works out 100% the way it's supposed to. Bottom line Rhule is highly likely to see a 3rd season as much as you people who have suddenly turned on him don't want that to be true

Regardless of where this team is at currently it was going to take longer than two seasons. That was a known fact when he was hired, go back and read the thread at all of the people that were okay with it and "in it for the long haul" well this is what that looks like.

No one here has access or knows anyone with direct access to that locker room and has no idea what is going on behind closed doors. Is it possible? Maybe. Definitive? Absolutely not

Jackass I've been one of the few that was against the Rhule hire when it happened, even got banned off the main forum for a bit for voicing my displeasures but nontheless he was hired to a 7 year contract and is a PROGRAM BUILDER meaning he rarely has had success in the first year or two at the places he's been. I would assume he'd get at least 3 years before he was fired whether your whine and cheese ass wants to believe it or not it is likely to happen

Rivera got 3 years to start winning and I'm sure Matt Rhule with his 7 year contract will get at least 1 more year as well. Rivera was 6-10 and 7-9 and a lot of people were saying the same thing about him not being HC material...he then won 2 COY awards. Rhule is a program builder which means it was going to take time to see winning results. A lot of you, like 99% of you were on board with this hire when it happened and even said you'd be willing to give him 3-4 seasons before you expected a playoff team, well it's only year 2. Lots of cap room next year to fix the oline and retool the defense, Cam should be brought back on another 1 year deal this time with a full offseason w/ the team under his belt in a make or break it year and then go from there. No young QBs to grab in next years draft so if we suck again next year we'll at least be in position to grab a young QB with a new HC the next year if it doesnt workout.

I think you show off your insecurities more with these whiney passive aggressive posts moreso than the people who just want to see Cam AND The Carolina Panthers succeed

While Rivera does deserve some blame for how the back end of Newton's career has gone, I don't believe for a second injuries derailed Cam's career as much as you guys think it did. A lot of big name QBs have had season ending injuries only to come back and find themselves in a familiar situation or at least a "good situation" after their injured seasons...except Cam. Cam hasn't been given a fair chance to come back from his injured season the way Aaron Rodgers got too, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Dak Prescott, Ben Roethlisberger etc. ALL of these guys had pretty serious injuries at one point in their career. Now compare the situations they got to play into after their injured year and compare that to Cams last year. Has he been honestly given a fair chance to prove he's not damaged goods? The guy put up 3200 yards of offense 21 total tds 10 ints and 66% completion on 368 attempts with one of the worst supporting casts in NFL History and only 5 weeks to learn their system. It hasn't been anywhere close to the same as those other guys. And now he signs with a team halfway through the season to prove he can still play. What could have been had we never released him in the first place. Cam just needed a fair opportunity, hopefully it works out this time around
