Regarding the Monday night game, Cam basically said that the two most important things the team is trying to do is "compete" and "have fun."     What about freaking winning?    Is this just presser fodder or has Cam lowered his expectation to trying to compete and just have fun?    You are professionals.  You aren't paid to compete or have fun... you are paid to win games for your team and your fans.   

 

This combined with the other comments over the past two weeks from Cam and others, I think they are done and have no hope of winning this division.  They have lost faith in the system and the coaches and have settled into a "huddle" mentality of ... "when's the draft?"

 

Sucks... but, isn't this usually when we win an unexpected game?   Who knows what Monday will bring but at least Cam will have fun.

For anyone that has ever played the game in order to win you HAVE TO HAVE FUN. as a former coach and player thats what I always told my players. Go out and have fun.

 

Pied this cause it makes a lot of sense.  I dont have an extensive background in football but it is only reasonable that you need to actually get some enjoyment and fulfillment out of what you do for a living. 

 

I think some people get so wrapped up in how much players make that they dont realize that these guys are human.  Yes they make a lot of money and they should compete at a high level but in order to do that you need to be able to enjoy what you are doing.

This. Often times before big games one of the things on the chalkboard from our coach was "Have fun"

They know it is a big game, but you don't want to be tense or press. Just go out there, play hard, and have some fun

Okay... let me clarify a little.  He said the number one thing was having fun!   Im not ragging on Cam wanting to have fun... I know you have to enjoy what you are doing... but when fun is the number one thing then aren't we sending another message.

 

sounds like im wrong here... but watching the panthers over the past few weeks has not been fun

Basically.  Did you know that all he did during his time off, was play Madden!  WTF!  I mean, he should have been in that film room 20 hrs a day, and on the field throwing through tires and into barrels the other 4.  I'm worried bruh...

Winning is fun, Cam wants to win. End of story. I think you're reading too much into it.

Fun is #1 when it comes to sports.  You start when you're a kid, because it's fun.  You keep playing because it's fun.  If you're good enough to get into the NFL, you get to continue to have fun playing a game that you love.  Play is supposed to be fun.  Games are supposed to be fun.  They're playing the game of football, not working the craft of field geometry.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
