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.

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.

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.

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 ;)

Not accurate... but okay

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.

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.

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.

      Bleacher report not buying Panthers’ hype

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Well, everyone is a critic.  not much meat on the bone here in analysis but if the team needs motivation … lol   I have also heard a lot of talking head or two say that ‘Young is not in the same class as most of these teams and that in 12 of the 17 games he is the lesser QB   BR write up below  2025 record: 8-9 Last season, the Carolina Panthers made the playoffs for the first time since 2017. They won the division. Bryce Young made strides, throwing for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with a 63.6 percent completion rate. Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan won the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year award. In free agency, the Panthers signed edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd to bolster their middling defense. Carolina can win with complementary football if the offense continues to trend in the right direction. In 2026, Carolina will play the AFC North and NFC North on a first-place schedule, which includes matchups against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, and the Seattle Seahawks. The club will have a much tougher 17-game slate than it had last year, which may lead to regression. The Panthers aren't on the same level as the league's top teams. We'll see the gap between them and division-winning clubs from the previous season. 2026 projection: 6-11

      If someone key is hurt and your bye week helps you by not forcing you to play without them, it is at a good time.  No way to know about that ahead of time.   I would concede that with 17 games and let’s say you are playoff bound, you would love to have it late

      Turk Wharton Neck Surgery

      Hate it for him personally and hope he recovers well. But honestly, reaching an injury settlement and moving on would probably be a best case scenario for the Panthers. This signing always felt like a desperate knee-jerk reaction to losing out on Milton Williams. Williams was a logical scheme fit while Wharton just wasn't. He's best used as a rotational interior pass rushing specialist in an even front. He's way too small to play the nose in a 3-4 and he lacks the length and juice to play the end. Healthy he's a nice roster piece in the right scheme at the right price but we overpaid him to play him in the wrong scheme. The signing just never made any sense to me and I said so at the time.
