Wilson & Luck


Dexterity

Recommended Posts

I said after the Seattle game that Cam played his best game from the pocket that I have seen. He was shifting, sliding, anticipating pressure very well, and though he made some errors he did well. He made the anticipatory throw to Dickson which came back to bite us in the form of a pick 6 but those are the type of throws he needs to be making, with different results of course.

 

The complaint on Cam has been he has to see an open receiver to throw the ball, yet when he makes the anticipation throws to where the receiver should be he is chastised. So him attempting that throw shows he prepared correctly and read the play correctly, Dickson just wasn't where he was supposed to be.

Wilson proved exactly what I said last week. Force him to throw into tight coverage, and the accuracy is not there. Period. Give him wide open guys and he'll complete that pass every time. He's no scrub, but he's far from elite.

Wilson can't make the throws Cam makes on a week to week basis. And, for Seattle's offensive system, that's fine. He doesn't have to. They have Lynch to use as both a weapon and distraction, allowing the wide open receivers.

I think Wilson threw, what, 2 passes INTO coverage that got completed? It's not like his picks went right off of receivers' hands that were easily catchable balls. One he lead too much for that slant, which is almost always gonna be a ball that ends up flying in the air (Cam has done this a few times as well), another pick was just a bad toss right at Clinton-Dix, another was a bad underthrow, and I can't remember the 4th pick, but it was equally bad.

Point being, Wilson is a great game manager. Ask him to drop back and throw at coverage like the majority of NFL QB's get asked to do, he simply cannot do it.

Yeah, definitely just a game manager who can only complete passes to wide open receivers.

They are neighbors and quite frankly there could be no better analogy. I've said it dozens if not hundreds of times, our head coach said it comparing Cam's passing to MJ's jumper, and now others are saying it. I also believe Cam knows it too although only he knows that. Football is clearly more of a team game and the playing field and structure for 32 teams and 53 man rosters are clearly more even than the 1990s NBA, and I'm also not saying he'll have to wait 7 years to win his first and will win 6 and play baseball two years in between, but other clear similarities to include overcoming doubters/obstacles (Pistons/Seahawks), multiple rings, jaw dropping talent, advertiser's wet dream, overall GOAT....absofreakinlutely.

No disrespect man but...lmao. Come on. MJ is an undisputed worldwide icon and undisputed best to ever play his sport and is worth billions. I'm sorry but there's just no way. Are you a Panthers fan or a Cam fan? Serious question.

Panthers fan, season ticket holder since day 1. I even straddled the fence on drafting Cam. I was optimistic and hopeful, I saw the greatest single season in college football history but I thought it was a small sample size for the #1 overall pick and he would be coming to a terrible team that didn't have a first round pick the year prior, and took a QB with their 2nd round picks in both 2010 and 2011 (Clausen and Armanti). I was immediately told by reliable sources he was nothing but pure gold during a kid's event at Ardrey Kell High School during the lockout and my hope and fandom became stronger. Since then, nearly everything he's said and done for a young man of his age and talent has been GOAT worthy. The best is yet to come.

Its not really fair to compare NFL players with NBA players. The best QB ever, Peyton Manning and only has 1 Super Bowl. His much younger, much inferior brother has two. Its a team game and half of Cams team probably shouldn't be in the NFL. MJ could take a bunch of scrubs deep in the playoffs in the NBA. The same isn't true in this sport.

Under thrown ball which is why Kearse had to stiff arm/push off the DB when he slowed down so only he had a play on the ball.

 

Nice one handed catch though.  Give props where it is due.  Nice catch.

The two tds to Curse were perfect. The one against us and the game winner yesterday. The Panthers took Lynch out and it was on Wilson.

Not sure what else RW can do to earn some peoples credit/respect.

Maybe he could try to avoid throwing 4 interceptions. The fact that Seattle still won speak volumes as to how little Wilsons' performance has to do with Seattle winning. He is the quarterback in the league who has to do the least in order to win and it is really not close.

Manning the best ever?

Lol, maybe in the regular season.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
