Cam had the 4th-worst QB rating in SEA this season

Which is ironic considering that he didn't play too poorly. The game got away from them because the defense kept getting burned on 3rd down, and then DeAngelo's lack of vision and Tolbert's bad hands.  

 

1st interception = Philly Brown's fault. He didn't have Sherman beaten so it's not like he couldn't have "stopped" too and at least tried to knock the ball down, but apparently he couldn't.

 

Fumble = Cam's fault, but the whole offense came out playing tight as if they don't know what "house money" means. I'm still pissed that a team that's been running well didn't run straight ahead on 3rd & 1 on its first possession. Shula should be fired for that reason alone. Pick up the first down safely so your team can relax, you tool.

 

2nd interception = all Cam's fault, but I've seen that happen a hundred times when a team is trying to come back, and happen to some of the "greats." Apparently Cam Newton is the only QB who's ever done that according to some people around here.

Well, I mean, it wasn't all Cam's fault.  I am not defending Cam per se, but Bersin fell down on his route and Ed Dickson didn't make any type of play on the ball.  He sat there flat footed and didn't attack the ball.  If he does he cuts off the safeties path to the ball.  He even admitted as much after the game

 

Not saying it wasn't Cam's fault, or that it wasn't a bad decision.  But there are a lot of things that can happen that avoid what happened, some of which Cam didn't have control over.

Perhaps Stephen Hill wouldn't have fallen?  :ph34r:

 

Did anyone on TV ever acknowledge that Bersin fell?

Aside from a few mistakes, I thought the whole offense did a great job. The whole team actually. I mean they played in the defending Super Bowl champs home, with a crazy environment, and were in the game til a few little mistakes turned the tide. We may be able to get away with those mistakes against Arizona and company but not the Seahawks. And cam threw great the last two drives when he was forced to, just starred Dickson down and paid for it though.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
