Cam Newton had more rushing yards yesterday than any of our backs have had all season

I don't want him running that much. If he gets tired, he may not be able to run and also might not be able to accurately throw the ball when he's trying to catch his breath.

 

Shula needs to stop being lazy and come up with creative plays that gets Cam to throw the ball rather than run.

Probably ran more than we would like, but that is also what Bengals were giving us on read option plays.

Read option is even more important to run game with crappy o line because the QB is sup posed to just be an extra blocker.

Read options are not inherently designed for the QB to run, it is to occupy a defender to gain a blocking advantage.

It should help the entire run game to have Cam more involved in run game

Cam threw over 40 passes.

 

Posters need to stop being lazy by assuming everything is on a coordinator.  At some point lack of execution should be considered before babbling same ole huddle rhetoric.

What rhetoric are you talking about? Manning or Brady is not rushing for 100 yds just because it's overtime and he's already thrown 40 passes.

    • I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan 
    • Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.
    • I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
