There will be NO BIAS HERE!  =)

 

As a Panther fan, I take Cam.  He's got more talent, and the right coaching staff over his career would maximize his talents.  Is he in that situation now?  I don't know.  We all have our problems with our Coaching staff.  It's often fun to go "if only we had X coach..." to play that greener grass game.  How would Cam do if Mike McCarthy was our HC/Offensive Guru?  Would he be Arron Rodgers like while running rampant across the NFL?  Who knows!?

 

Wilson has shown since day 1 he is a legit NFL starting QB.  He's smart with the ball, has an incredible knack for avoiding pass rushers to extend plays, and has a great winning percentage.  How much of his success do you place on Team versus individual attributes?  I don't imagine Seattle fans or coaches would be willing to part with Wilson right now!

 

So random epiphany:  Wilson is a plug and play guy.  He'd have success in nearly any NFL system.  Cam is a build your team guy.  You can build your system around Cam, but he won't fit into every offensive system easily.  Am I wrong?  There is a good chance!

Russell would actually be pretty solid in our system.

 

He has pretty terrible pocket awareness and even tends to feel something that I saw coined "phantom pressure". With how bad our offensive line is, I believe that he'd do a pretty solid job due to his scrambling nature. However, Cam's my guy.

 

Russell is the type of player that once a blue print is drawn up, he will begin to struggle.

 

I said the following a different thread.

 

The real key to stopping him is having the corner's play off the wide receivers (Wilson is deadly in play action), play a zone scheme on the back end (Wilson struggles against the zone) use a spy on Wilson (this keeps him from taking off if there's nothing available), getting pressure up the middle, and playing contain on the ends (keep him in the pocket).

 

Look at the particular play that I attached.

 

- Corners off

- Zone Coverage

- Kuechly spying and picking up the leaker

- Contain on the outside

- Rush up the inside

 

I believe Wilson scrambled for a one yard gain there.

I love RW for his/my time at State, he's a nice dude and obviously a great football player.

 

 

But give me Cam. He's had one of the most historic openings to a career ever...and still can improve immensely. The sky is the limit for him potential wise, he hasn't been given the best weapons or OL yet, he's battled injuries and incompetent coaching, and from a marketability stand point I don't think there's anyone better in the NFL than Cam. If I'm picking a face of the franchise from a business and football standpoint, Cam in a landslide. If I'm picking based solely on talent, Cam still has the edge for me.

    • Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack
    • Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.
    • Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
