Rivera: Panthers Tempted to Unleash Cam?

[*FreeFua*]

The panthers should unleash Mike Shula from his job.

Which would then lead to the actual unleashing of Cam

Think about this.  What is the converse of the above statement?

 

The converse is, up to now, they have NOT LET Cam "embrace his natural style of play".

 

In other words, Cam may be digging a hole into the pocket because he's hurt.

 

But considering the above, can't it be a possibility that he's digging his hole in the pocket BECAUSE HE'S BEEN TOLD TO DO SO (i.e. not "let")?

 

Yup....now imagine if we had a Chip Kelly or similar...

 

This is what you get with conservative play not to lose defensive minded HCs.....so tired of it.

 

Dood said he doesn't want him to embrace his natural style of play....lol just wow.

For the life of me, I canNOT come up with any rational reason to tie up or to leash a multi-talented player like Cam.

 

You'd have to be a real moron to do something like that on purpose... right?

[FootballMaestro]

I like the way Cam is playing now if it reduces his risk of further injury.

 

I wish Rivera and Shula would stop listening to the media and have a plan.

 

This is the NFL. Rivera, should have know (but then again, just look at Rivera's history) that Nothing is For LONG, and that his beloved Panthers defense may not be what he wanted it to be. After all, it's only been really good for a season, and decent for half a season (2nd half of 2012 when Luke took over). These guys fell asleep on the offense.

 

Right now (as I've said countless time), the passing game is better than the putrid and injured running game, so they better find a way to make both work with out killing Cam.

 

Of course many of us will say "it's not easy, because". But hey, that's why you wear the Big Boi pants in the NFL, receiving that Big Boi Salary.

 

Anyone can coach when things are going well.

WTF? Unleash him? because Cam has been the problem. Let him move more, sure. Expose him more? Hell no. Get Shula to adjust, period.

Funny thing is hue jackson who we could of replaced shula with last offseason is doing wonders for the bengals offense. 

 

AJ Green, Gio Bernard, top 10 o-line. I hate Shula and want to see him gone but I've never cared too much for Hue Jackson.

[Fox007]

What's funny is when DA was the QB in game 1 we saw some boot legs and roll outs....Cam comes back and how many of those have we seen....

 

No idea how they don't get him on the move more often and this is even when he's 100%

if "unleash cam" means an end to "let's run the ball a lot because that's our philosophy" i'm down for it. offensive balance is essential, but when you're taking plays from cam newton, who will make them, and putting them in the hands of darren reaves, who will not, just to fulfill the quota set by your philosophy, then you end up losing football games, or only winning them when your defense plays like world champs.

 

if "unleash cam" means "let cam do what he does best and design your philosophy around potentially the best offensive player of all time" then yes for the love of god unleash cam newton

I don't know why you'd put a leash on one of the most talented players in the league at all to be honest.

[CharlottePanther]

The issue is Cam is looking good as hell from the pocket, he doesnt really need to run

[carolina-chuck]

Cam for OC!!!!!!!

He can look good as hell at both.

His run game will open up the pass game.

[PhillyB]

Cam for OC!!!!!!!

 

that's not even far off. some of his best drives have come when he was allowed to run up-tempo drives, calling his plays at the line.

See these types of remarks doesnt help Rivera at all. Its just like last year when he finally realized after the Buffalo game that we needed to start taking chance and putting the game in our hands and it changed the season around. But it took a 0-2  start coming off the previous year for him to wake up? Way to piss off the fanbase Rivera.
