Ron Rivera wants Cam to run less

Camm Newton

There are so many changes that have to be made to this offensive unit, staff and philosophy for that "want" to become a reality it's ridiculous.

Cam has to run to get rolling. That's how I feel at least. To me it looks like he's sleep walking out of the huddle until he has a dazzling run.

[AceBoogie]

What quality LT was there in the draft at our spot? What quality LT was available in free agency? What quality WR was available in free agency? How would we get multiple free agents and lock up Cam and Luke while leaving room for future extensions for Star, KK, Norman(?), etc. Getting rid of Gettleman would be the dumbest move this franchise has ever made.

Ok

Bell and Chandler last year, Ginn and Brown this year. Failing to resign any of your WRs in one offseason. Failing to find a quality LT. Tagging Greg Hardy. 

If if we fail to have a winning season again this year, that's 4/5 in the Cam/Ron era. No way that Ron, Shula, and even Cam should all survive that. At least one has to go and Cam already has his money. I'm predicting that no changes are made no matter what and that too falls on Gettleman. 

Chandler isn't on Gettleman. Rivera chose to play Chandler over Remmers. And quality left tackles are not just sitting around as FA waiting to be signed.

And you can't put tagging Hardy as a mistake by Gettleman. How on earth could Gettleman anticipate the domestic violence poo storm that happened last season?

Has nothing to do with the domestic violence case. It was widely reported that he was done here even before that came out. He was essentially a one year rental which was dumb. And if all this stuff falls on Ron, guess who's responsible for keeping Ron? There is never any accountability. We were an awful team last year which was masked by an easy schedule and a playoff berth because of a technicality. There's no accountability on this team, none.

Cam running less = something Shula can not handle.

Our wide receivers would be just fine if Benjamin never got hurt.  I don't know why people don't understand this.  Cotchery, Brown, Ginn, they are good role players, especially on a fairly run-first team.  HOWEVER, they are no longer being asked to be role players.  They have to be that guy, something none of them are.  Gettleman knew what he was doing.  We don't need a Julio Jones and Roddy White (in his prime) kind of duo.  With Benjamin on the team too, it would give Funchess more time to progress and eventually he could step up for us as a #2.  Plus, Olsen.

People love to pretend they know how to be a GM, but I'm still confused as to why so many people think Gettleman screwed up the receiver position.  That simply isn't true.  

And Hakeem Nicks sucks.  Even if he is an upgrade over someone like Brown, it's marginal at best.  There would be no point in signing him.  There is a reason why every team is passing up on him.

Double Cam's running. I want to win. I don't care if RR is scared of Cam running. Run that damn read option, it get's us right down the fuging field and opens the passing game up like Moses parting the Red Sea. And don't you dare say both are a myth ;)

[Cary Kollins]

there's always going to be a segment of the fanbase with hurt in the butt because of Steve Smith

Where's that thread where RR was saying we're not going to run Cam anymore than usual. He was saying something like that, and I knew that was bs right away. We're going to need to run Cam more than usual this season, and frankly that's why I want him on the team. Cam in the pocket is not enough. Designed runs and read option are what we need.

[CRA]

Cam is safer running than he is sitting in a pocket (sitting in it far too long waiting on weak WRs to run Shula's long routes).

Cam thinks so.  

I think Cam needs to run more.  Run less read option and less designed runs....he needs to take off more however when he has lanes and his first couple reads aren't open.

Ok

great answers.

[pantherphan96]

I don't get why 50% of the people who post here seem to think every washed up WR that had a few decent seasons 3+ years ago are somehow magically better than all of the WRs on our roster.
