(Buck and Kincade on 680 The Fan, to be exact.)

 

Were more logical and understanding about what Cam's going through this year than many Panther's fans.  It almost sounded like Igo, Scot, and philly sent them a damn script.

 

Points covered:

 

- Cam may not be "injured", but its more than obvious that he's hurting badly.

- Whatever is making him "hurt" is obviously taking him clean out of the kind of game that makes him a special QB.

- The Panther's OL may be one of the worst OL they've ever seen.

- A head coach keeping his "hurting" franchise QB on the field behind that OL in a game that is already way out of hand for "reps" is the definition of insane.

-  Discussed the possibility in Cam's situation of taking him off the field and/or IR'ing him if he can't heal enough to at least get some of his unique abilities back.

 

I was amazed.  Atlanta sports talk seems to be more in touch with the needs of the Carolina franchise QB than said franchise QB's own coaching staff and front office.

Pretty much everybody gets it but the front office. Fat man says "big men allow you to compete", then pretends the offensive line either doesn't exist or should be 'offensive'. My only hope for the rest of the season is that Cam doesn't suffer a catastrophic injury.

Good points.  I can't congratulate Atlanta radio too much, though. 

 

They hired Marc James.

Let's not give them too much credit here, everything they said is very obvious to anyone that has watched him play this season. OP did make me click the thread with his "holy crap" title though.

Edit: was expecting to see (Julio out for Sunday) now that would be "holy crap" worthy

Reminds me: Someone had posted a thread a few days ago about Atlanta radio (and I think Marc James specifically) supposedly having said they hoped Cam Newton got hurt last game.  I clicked to read it and it promptly disappeared.

 

What was that about?

 

Ron Rivera posted before he paid his dollar? ;)

Dude is soft in the head and he got mentally owned by the spy and show blitz then drop coverages.

He hurts because he mentally had no answer

FO has admitted he's not injured.

I haven't heard him come out saying that he was or seeing a specialist. Maybe I missed that part.

Yes still got a lot of growing up to do. I no longer care if he does that growing up on Charlotte or not.

He was beaten like a drum. Cluless with the ball holding it too long and reacting at everything anticipating nothing.

It was a bad day for all Panthers fans.

Future dashed.

Experiment : failure.

I really think that Cam is playing in order to maintain his leadership ad avoid a quarterback controversy.  What would happen if Anderson came in and played better which wouldn't be hard to do.  Would that hurt of help Cam in the eyes of the rest of the team.

That is the only thing that makes sense with our normal conservative approach to injury.

 

And why Ir so he can't practice with the team.  You can sit him without putting him on IR especially if everyone agrees he isn't injured.

U could be right but it shouldn't be up to Cam. That decision should fall on the coach.

Cam is hurt. It was acknowledges before he stepped on a field this year he would be playing through pain all season long. Dude is clearly hurting.

Cam ain't gonna sit. Cam isn't going to make excuses. When he tells his coach "I'm fine". They both know he is hurt. Ron is just taking the line Cam wants them to use and not talk about how broke down his body is right now.

Cam wanted to play week 1. Cam wants to play. Just the way he is. He doesn't want any other QB on the field even if it is a nightmare zone.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
