What Saints Fans are Saying

sorry, dude. I can't agree with the Cam = the panthers line. Cam is not more valuable than our entire defense. Also, saying Cam is our entire offense is an insult to the OL, Greg Olsen, Stewart and everyone else out there balling and making plays for the team.

Cam is certainly the MVP of the team, and maybe even the league, but the team wins as a team. Put Cam on the Browns, or most other teams, and they aren't 11-0. There are a number of QBs who could replace cam on this team, and we are 11-0, or close to it.

This is a great team. Cam is the greatest part of this team, but he is not the team.

While I agree with most of your post, aside the ELITES, I don't see a Matt Ryan or Romo leading this Offense with the options (or lack of) at the receiver position. I'm sorry, I just can't buy that. But solid post.

"the team they have put around Cam"

Cam is the fuging team 

That's not fair, we have a squad fuller of killers. Luke, TD, Norman, Short, CJ, Stew, Olsen, Kalil, All these guys are playing at the top of their positions respectively. Saying Cam is the whole team is discrediting a lot of people. The team knows this is a team sport and are playing for eachother. We as fans should take notice and feel the same. They all do their jobs and they all deserve recognition

Ehhhhhh. I don't know about that.

How many of those QB's can replicate what he brings to the run game, which in turn opens up our passing game?

Not only pure rushing yardage, and touchdowns, but those crucial 3rd down conversions at critical points in games.

There isn't another Cam Newton in the NFL right now.

I don't disagree with everything you are saying...

 

but name 2 QBs you could put in this Cam centric rush O that could have us 11-0?

Cam's power running and ability to evade in manners no other NFL QB can just can't be matched....and our O is built and thrived around it.

Cam is 5th in the NFL in rushing 1st downs 

Cam is 3rd in rushing TDs.

Our offense depends on that.  Everyone talks about his rushing TDs but it is his first downs that make him the monster for opponents.  No one talks about them but his career numbers are crazy in terms of picking on first downs (and that is why you can't compare him to anyone else in the game )

I like to pick on first downs too... it's fun!!

 

Also, I completely agree man. Nice job summarizing.

we let the backup generator torch us with the quick slant passes last time against us.... the Saints should not be taken lightly, they unseated ATL when they were 5-0

Atlanta was smoke and mirrors at the beginning of the season.  All the saints did in that game is prove that Atlanta is actually just as bad as the Saints.

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
