BBR: Safe to Assume Cam Starts Sunday


UNCrules2187

Recommended Posts

If Cam's healthy there's no doubt he should be on the field.  People saying Anderson should start for playing reasons are insane.  He almost threw 3 INTs and had one called back for a questionable roughing the passer penalty (honestly that was a gift).  If there's any doubt about his health or injuring his back more seriously, he should sit.  This is a lost season and risking injury to your franchise QB is not worth the chance at this point in the season.

there was absolutely nothing questionable about the roughing the qb call- hands to the face will be called 100% of the time if it is seen

It's easy to forget about those plays. Carolina could have easily lost to Tampa Bay without several things falling their way.

Fact is Carolina was lucky to beat one of the worst teams in the league.

 

Balls boucning off DB's chests, interceptions called back, fumbles bouncing the right way in the fourth quarter....

 

And with Cam we got killed by one of the worst teams (Minn)...beat by two of the worst teams (NO and Atlanta)...barely beat another of the worst teams (Chicago)....

 

So, what is your point?

 

I think Cam probably gives us the best chance to win if he is ready to go.  However, discounting the win under Anderson the way you did without doing the same to the wins/losses under Cam makes you look like just another homer.

that Anderson played a mediocore game against Tampa Bay and was fortunate to get the win

 

 

I'm confident with Cam the margin of victory would have been at least two scores.

probably?

 

 

really? lol

 

Yes...probably.

 

Given the up and down play this season by everyone (including Cam), I have no idea how he will look.

 

He may look like he did in NO (outstanding) or in Minn (like a backup at best).

 

This has just been one of those inconsistent years where anythign is possible.

    • Remember when we had Cam Newton, Derek Anderson, and Joe Webb? Good times
    • Ridley Grieg was handed a 2-game suspension for his sucker punch on Sean Walker during the Ottawa series. First 2 regular season games for the 2026-2027 schedule.
    • Number 9  Carolina Panthers  Bryce Young, the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, produced career highs in completion percentage (63.6%), passing yards per game (188.2) and passing touchdowns (23) in 2025. However, those numbers aren't exactly stellar by NFL quarterbacking standards. Even though the Panthers backdoored their way into the postseason in 2025 as NFC South champions with an 8-9 record, Young's performance was up-and-down. He threw for the third-fewest passing yards by a quarterback to make the playoffs in the last 20 seasons, per CBS Sports Research.  FEWEST PASSING YARDS BY QB TO REACH PLAYOFFS, LAST 20 SEASONS (MIN. 16 STARTS) PASSING YARDS PLAYOFF WINS 2012 Christian Ponder (MIN) 2,935 0 2008 Joe Flacco (BAL) 2,971 2 2025 Bryce Young (CAR) 3,011 0 2006 Steve McNair (BAL) 3,050 0 2019 Josh Allen (BUF) 3,089 0 Young did deliver some high highs, like when he threw for a franchise-record 448 yards passing in a Week 11 overtime win at the Atlanta Falcons and when he went toe-to-toe with Stafford in the playoffs in a 34-31 defeat.  Kenny Pickett couldn't win the Cleveland Browns' quarterback competition a year ago, and Will Grier is a career backup. This is Young's team.
