Which secondary gives up less passing yards this Saturday night?

[Matthias]

Ever since we changed up our starting secondary in our second game against the Saints, the Panthers' defense has been off the chain.  I don't believe we gave up a deep pass down the field since that time. (I know the Browns were able to get a long touchdown pass, but that was off a quick slant if memory serves me correctly)  So who gives up less passing yards in our game this Saturday?  Legion of Boom, or the Legion of Whom?  For those who aren't familiar, of course the Legion of Whom is a name Jon Gruden gave to the Panther's secondary during our MNF game against the Patriots last year if I'm not mistaken.

The numbers could be skewed if one team gains a significant lead early. Their secondary is better but ours could have a better game since Wilson < Cam (passing wise).

[Bozarden]

Cam's ceiling is higher than Wilson's BUT at the moment there's no question that Russell is the superior passer. You never see him throw off his back foot.

I gotta go with Wilson on this one but I don't see either getting over 20 attempts.

you rarely see Wilson throwing from the pocket either, it seems Like he scrambles every other play. As far as being a pure pocket passer, cam is far superior even though he might throw it off his back foot once in a while.

Once in a while?  How about a whole damn game?  That's what he did versus Arizona.

Russ is a great passer... but to go along with him being a great passer... the play calling is scheduled around his strengths. He's the most dangerous QB when he's rolling out of the pocket and the plays are drawn up to his strength.

 

We should take a page out of their playbook.

[Jackofalltrades]

Wilson will have better passing stats...because he's a better passer.

[Chief_Chokeaho]

And here we go with the Wilson vs Cam argument. Wilson is consistent. That is the one variable that sets him apart from Cam. When (healthy) Cam is on, RW doesn't come close in passing or scrambling. The ceilings are not even close. I personally believe RW is very close to reaching his potential ceiling. Cam isn't nearly there.

[Jackofalltrades]

One thing that helps is Wilson is consistently accurate. That's my one real beef with Cam and what I think set not only them, but all QB's apart.

Not accurate... but okay

[Beast Mode]

This poll is a trick question.  Is Carolina the Legion of Whom?  Or is that the slang you're issuing to the Seahawks. 

 

Cam will probably wind up with more passing yards.. but that's what happens when you're trailing and need to come back

It pretty much is accurate. Yesterday on his weekly Sirius segment Kirwan asked Rivera about Cams throwing off his back foot. Rivera said he was rushing his throws anticipating pressure. Called the Az game a teaching tape of what not to do throwing the ball for Cam.

[PanthersClinic]

Neither Wilson or Cam throw for much yardage anyway. Yards won't win the game. It'll come down to turnovers, time of possession, rushing yards and touchdowns.

 

Cam averages 223.4 yads per game (23rd)

Wilson averages 217.2 yards per game (26th)

 

Wilson is much more efficient than Cam in terms of accuracy, turnovers, taking sacks for loss, etc.

[VerticalThreat]

I said LOB simply because I think (and hope) we will establish the run. So, fewer passes = fewer yards passing given up.

Are you trying to be literal?  Because, no, it's not accurate.  He didn't throw off of his back foot the whole game.  I saw pretty well from my seat, and this video says he didn't either.

I'm not saying he didn't throw off of his back foot during the game, but to say he did it the whole game is asinine.
