Cam needs to step up this year


Recommended Posts

Probably unlike most of the huddle, I am not 100% sure Cam can lead us to a Superbowl win or become that great QB we hope and expected him to be. He has been inconsistent since coming into the league. 

 

Yes, he has had some significant limitations (OL and OC) but OL should be much improved this year. 

 

I would like to be able to see him with an actual OC who has produced top 10 offenses but unfortunately, I do not see Shula getting fired due to our defense keeping all the games close. I hope I am wrong on that. 

 

So, Cam has to take that next step WITH Shula. As of right now, I am weary of investing the farm on a guy that is as inconsistent as Cam.

It's a good thing you're not GM then huh? Do you think that Cam doesn't know he needs to get better? We don't need dumb poo threads calling him out as if he was satisfied with the results of last year. Rivera has said the same thing)without the investing in him threat), and so has Cam. You are not bringing anything new to the table.

We have been hearing the "I / He needs to get better" every year and still we see the same problems and inconsistencies. 

 

It's time to put up or shut up. Or people to stop with the unrealistic expectations and opinions.

Can Cam improve? Obviously. 

 

Is Cam even on an extended list of problems for this team? No. 

 

 

 

Becoming more consistent will be nice and something I hope for. I expect it will come with an improved OL and him finally being healthy. Throw in a hopefully healthy Stewart running the ball instead of Deangelo, Tolbert as well, and another weapon or two and I expect him to make strides this year. Now, will Shula or injuries hamper that? We shall see.

Newsflash but no QB is perfect. You are the type of person who expects Cam to be perfect when there are no perfect QB's in the league. Every single one makes mistakes, so get that through your head first of all. And secondly you act like Cam has had the perfect O-line these past 4 years when he hasn't. You may not want to hear it but circumstances do matter. If an O-line is poo, how do you expect a QB to be consistent when he has to worry about protection. Gettleman has pretty much said that Cam is the franchise QB so short of Cam regressing, he's not going anywhere.

I'm curious. If being a fan of the Panthers makes you so weary, why do it? Plenty of other teams to choose from.

 

If you like being depressed, that's on you. I choose to let go of the baggage of the past and look forward to a new chance to win it all.

 

Do what you want and I hope it works out for you.

Well we haven't exactly given Cam a good enough supporting cast the last few years. However I do agree to extent. I would like to see him start taking over games with his passing prowess and we all know he can do it. He's  got enough to work with at WR now and the line has gotten better. Really really want to see Cam pass for 27-30 TDs this year.

As Cam goes, we go.  2015 decides if Cam is a lifelong Panther or a Dallas Cowboy more than likely.

I'm betting black and blue.

 

In fact, I'm betting we win the South for the 3rd year in a row, prolly win 11 games or more and have a good chance to be in the SB.

 

Let it play out.

He didn't say he needs to be "perfect", he said he needs to take his game to another level, which is true. If we are actually expecting to win a superbowl, he has got to. And newsflash to you too, no O-line is perfect either, which is why Cam has to get better at pocket awareness, situational football, anticipation, etc. so he can help them out as well.

 

What pocket?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
