How Much Pressure on KB13?


Recommended Posts

I like being underrated and called "bad" before the season or even training camp starts. I'm less concerned with the WR situation because Ricky's really good at getting amazing production out of semi good players like ted ginn jr who didn't look good till he joined us.

Now the lack of a chosen RT/LT worries me. I hope it works out but replacing an all pro LT like gross might make or break us. I am sure cam can find these new receivers but if he's not protected then out O will be dead in the water.

In the redzone he should be able to get a td every time if we are within 5. They'll be stacking the box for Cam and Tolbert running and then they'll have their coverage shifts towards Olsen and KB will be wide open with his 10 feet and Cam should be able to hit him for a td no problem. 1 every 2 games is absolutely reasonable.

 

"he should be able to get a TD every time"......yeah lets ask other tall wrs why they don't get a td every time they are close to the endzone. people make it sound so easy on a message board.

I'm sorry, but do you see Cam Newton playing for any other team that has tall WRs? How about Mike Tolbert? Greg Olsen? All of them? It seems to me that we are the only team to have all those 3 threats at the goal line. And obviously it was exaggerated but he'll definitely be able to get at least a TD every other game. I'm not saying he's as good as Dez or Megatron, but they run a post on the goal line and get a TD damn near every time. Our red zone offense last year for the first half of the year was the most efficient in the league, and adding interior line depth and getting healthy will help as well. Add in KB and they'll either shift their coverage to him leaving the interior open for a Cam or Tolbert pound up the middle, or they'll still stack the box and leave KB open for a TD. I'll change what I said to, "WE should be able to get a TD NEARLY every time."

    • There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.
    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
