Why are there so many threads on Cam and the offense when our Defense is playing so bad?

[FootballMaestro]

Yep, this "fan base" smh...

This team is built to stop people. We have no OL and Shula as an OC. Obviously aren't going to be winning any shootouts.

You have an OC who's mentality is to pound the ball and win the TOP battle. Oh yah and that OC is stubborn as hell and won't adjust to his talent. Mix that with having no run game whatsoever and we're basically screwed on O and it doesn't take a genius to realize that.

Our D has this bend but don't break mentality that relies heavily on turnovers and sacks. Well, we are missing two of our top playmakers on D and Kuechly had been MIA. We aren't forcing sacks or getting turnovers so our secondary is getting exposed big time.

Things aren't going to change overnight, this team has serious problems and Cam is not one of them. Cam proved again today that with a little time in the pocket he can make any and every throw.

 

Close down the thread.

 

Well said!!

[Evodion]

Because lets be honest.. Most fans really have no idea what they are talking about.

[JB82887]

Bad oline kills the offense. Do you people even watch football

[Cam2Benji]

Because people hate Cam is a good looking qb and his gives all our TD balls to the little kid Panthers fans in the crowd.

 

 

*Obviously I don't know why but it's probably just stupidity.

[QueensKing]

Becuase there should be... anyone who watched could tell that Cam just doesn't have it... he should sit. 

 

With Hardy out, Cam is our highest paid defensive end, and needs to step it up.  He didn't even make it into the box score.

 

Cam needs to block better as well, he's the leader of the offense, so he needs to create much more than 67 yards on 26 carries.  I thought he was supposed to be a good runner??

 

He also should call better plays at the line instead of running for no gain and putting us in a hole on 3rd down every time.  He called too many run plays today.

 

We drafted Cam last year to help stop the run... we've been horrendous against the run lately.  We used our first and second round picks last year on the d-line, and Cam got destroyed today. 

 

We're paying Cam all of this money to run the ball... "double trouble" is dead. 

 

Cam deserves the criticism... it starts and ends with him.  He needs to improve his play.

Look-

 

Are defense is going to continue to look like feces until our offense starts to sustain drives and turn it into points. I could give a rats behind if we are winning the TOP battle, that dosent mean a damn thing unless we turn that into a Touchdown, not a field goal, not just winning field position, a Touchdown!!!! The defense right now has all the pressure on them to keep us in the game, and even great, historic defenses arent going to hold teams to zero points every game. Plain and simple, our offense (particularly our o-line) has to have success and score points to take pressure off of  our defense and special teams. You have to score to win the game

[footballisasport]

because we have scored our offense has only scored 3 TDs in 2 games! thus our drives are being shutdown like an unpaid light bill!

 

So then blame ur coaches who keeps sticking to the same script as if they lives depended on it regardless of the situation.

 

Also, each side has a responsibility. The defense allowed the opposing team to score 38 points. What, u seriously believe Cam with that O-line should have been scoring 42? 

[stirs]

We don't control either line of scrimmage.

 

Therein lies 80% of our problems

[footballisasport]

BTW, Drew is throwing the ball all over the field. Do u think it's time for the Saints to bench him?

 

IMO, I don't think many of the players on this team play hard because they are not the ones being attacked by the media.. Noticed as soon as Rivera got on the hot seat in the media, how quickly he turned this team around. Cam is the one getting the brunt of the heat from the media. Not one person in the media is going to tear apart the Panthers offense like they do with their chosen abs' teams when they are not stepping up and doing their part because they don't care. 

[teeray]

Because we are preconditioned to have particular scapegoats. No matter what happens, if it is negative it is because of them, if it is positive it is in spite of them

[top dawg]

Because Cam is a pawn in Shula's offense which really is a part of the defense by extension.  Or at least that was the story during the offseason.

[dunnlx]

because he's black

*runs*

Oh poo

[CatalystNX]

Cam has an excuse. The defense doesn't. And no, Hardy doesn't count. If we're that dependent on one guy on defense then our scheme is seriously fuged.

[dunnlx]

Our offense has shown signs and glimpses of being able to score like that TD that benjamin should of had today. But the way our defense is playing, gives me no hope that this team can be competitive with the panthers schedule coming up. This team's main issue right now is defense not offense.

And coaching!
