so.. you think the draw was a good thing? 

 

educate yourself dude

 

"Educate yourself?" You sound like a guy peddling church-pamphlet science.

 

A draw counts as one-half win and one-half loss in the standings. It could end up being huge at the end of the season when teams are fighting for playoff spots.

 

And I'll gladly take the draw considering how piss-poor the defense played.

Cam was Galloping and Stampeding Cincinnati like The Budweiser Clydesdale in a new Commercial. 

 

As long as Newton dropped back to throw, it would have been impossible to deny him that first down in space, the way he was running.

 

Of course there were a boatload of errors, and woulda, coulda shoulda's. But the fact, that Cam worked so hard this game, you should have given him the opportunity to win it.

 

He laid his body on the line, with those 19 or so rushes, since Whitaker got hurt.

I have read a lot at this forum, but never posted a post before now. I can't believe the call of not going for it at 4th and 1. It is just completely unbelievable. I serously question coach Rivera's football instincts. By kicking the ball with just a couple of minutes left in OT, the best panthers can do is a tie. With Cam destroying the Bengals with the run all game, it is just mind blowing. With 4 minutes left in OT, I said that the Panthers now has to go all in and go for the TD, because a kick would just hand the ball over to the Bengals and give them at least a tie since they could run out the clock.

 

For me, this is at the same level as the call Rivera made back in 2011 I think when he used a timeout to stop the clock for the Saints fieldgoal unit. How can you play for the draw with Cam under center? He makes the quarterback sneek almost every time....

 

Ahhh, so frustrating....

Rivera, believes in his defense, even when they suck!

 

I guess he used up his River Boat Ron privileges,going for it,  earlier in the game already.

INTELLIGENT PEOPLE are more upset about wasting the first drive in OT by checking it down on 3rd and 6 instead of actually trying to get it. Stupid people will never realize the fact that that decision is where the win was actually forfeited. Cam was on fire, with his legs and arm. Cotchery had just dropped the game winner. Still, either have Cam read option run or pass and you could've gotten 6 yards easily. But no, Rivera didn't want to take any risks, so he wanted Cam to check it down.

 

What a waste. 

 

That is where the game was lost. Period.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
