yeah, but how many 3pt comebacks have Cam and Rivera had?

 

They, Rivera and Cam, have had 3pt or less 4th qtr Combacks against:

Jags - 2011

Saints - 2012

Eagles - 2012

Patriots - 2013

Miami - 2013

Saints - 2013

Falcons - 2013

Bears - 2014

Browns - 2014

 

The ones less than 3 are not very impressive. You only need a long fg...

It has a ton to do with our playstyle. In the past two years we haven't been down by more than three that many times. When we were it was usually complete blowouts. It's a pretty specific stat when you think about it. 16 games a year, you have to be losing by more than 3 but not completely blow out. How many chances did we have?

Well..  to be honest,  some of those games were over at halftime.  Can't be down by 2 or 3 scores going into the half...and hope to catch up,  with our 8 minute long drives that kill the clock.. finally score a TD,  kick the ball back to the other team........and then watch them drive down the field in 2 minutes to score again.    Rinse,  repeat for another of our 8 minute drives.

 

We aren't built to be a quick strike offense.    We're built to kill the clock and pray to god our defense doesn't let the other team score.          You'd think with our defense hemorraging points for 3 out of the last 4 years,  that the Panthers would say screw it,  lets build around pushing the ball down the field quickly.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
