Cam's Clear Case for MVP

May have been said, but our WR's YAC also ranks dead last in the league (or close to it).  Could be attributed to some of Cam's "lack" of passing yards...and obviously the drops. 

Imagine how many more TD's and  yards Cam could have next year with KB, and an improved Funchess (and hopefully Philly)?

They'll, still have some drops though. LOL

The thing isfor me when it comes to MVP. You cant compare it to the best QB. When defensive players can be considered as MVP, you cant base it all on TDs. You have to look at the whole overall game of the player. In this sense its a no brainer. Cam has done the most this year and with sub par weapons. At the beginning of the year, receivers were dropping the ball alot. Cam by far even if they were 9-7 with those stats has had his best year ever. Next year he will be better with KB back. But this is only the beginning for Cam. This is a dynasty in the making.

Imagine how many yards passing he would have made if he hadn't been working with a short field so many times thanks to our defense. 

 

Good point. Really do wonder if this is a good stat, or a bad stat? Will our D take credit away from Cam? Or will folks take into account that Cam can only work with what he was given? And did an absolute beastly job of doing so.

Marcell Dareus was a popular option here at the time. Even Gabbert had a few admirers.

 

I'll admit it. I was on the draft Dareus, then suck for Luck crowd. Hey...I ain't perfect. Obviously.

When your defense is #1 in turnovers, and as a team we're +20.....we're going to have a lot of short fields.  Couple that with we run the ball 50% of the time.  Cam throwing for 3,800 yards is really like throwing for 4,500 yards if he was on a team that is "average" in turnover differential, and throws it more 65/35, versus running.

 

Damm you. I wanted to say this. If we threw the ball more, there really would not be any of that "But look at Cam's yards" crap.

I don't know anybody like that.

Heck, some morons here didn't want Kuechly either.

That's not entirely accurate. You didn't seem to want Newton prior to the draft. You weren't as down on him as TRD and grits were, but it was pretty close. To your credit, you let up quite a bit after he was drafted, from what I can remember. I'd love to reread some of those old threads.

It wasn't meant to be accurate. I was joking (pretty sure Red got that).

I was also one of the 'morons' who hated the Kuechly pick.

It's also Rivera.

Anytime the Panthers, get a 17+ lead, they always appear to tamp things down and run the ball like crazy.

Most coaches, still have their QB's in the game, padding their stats right up until the 4min mark of the 4th Qtr.

Most fans and reporters don't know, and see this.

Honest question, how many TD's did Ginn drop this year AND .. how many of those came on drives that didn't result in points? 

 

I can think of off the top of my head 6. Possibly more. And all were long (over 50 yards). I do believe though that on a fair amount of those drives we still scored. I remember immediately after a wide open bomb dropped by Ginn we went right back to him for a long TD the next play. Another question is how many of Cam's 10 INT were off the receiver's hands? He threw 2 against you guys and 1 was off of Funchess' hands that he should've caught and I think the other was either a bad decision or was tipped up at the line. He threw 3 picks against the Eagles, another off of Funchess' hands that should've been caught and right into the defender. One was a bad pass and the other was one that Ginn caught, took 2 steps and his knee hit down just before the defender stripped the ball but they ruled it an INT. Then there was former Seahawk Norwood's dropped TD pass that went right off of his hands and into the defenders. Should've been a TD instead of an INT. Forget which game that was.

    • If the losses were him not stepping up in key situations then it'd be a disappointment. 
    • I'm well versed in the minutiea of the Canes radio broadcast system... lol I've been back in WNC for about 15 years now. And, until very recently, we would only get Predators games on the RSNs out here. So, radio was the only option for me to keep up with the team. These were the dark years, too. Maybe, once a year, you'd get to see us get smashed on national TV by some original 6 powerhouse. If you were really lucky, Jeff Skinner would bless you with one of his absolutely stunning pirouette passes to nowhere, before Wardo toppled over off his head, giving up a goal on his 70th shot faced that night for an inspiring 1-0 loss. But, that story sounds a whole lot cooler when Chuck Kaiton is telling it to you in real-time with the raspy drawl of a calving heifer! Before TuneIn or the Canes apps even existed, I used to have to find the one spot out in the back yard, where the hills and trees parted just right, that I could pickup 730(?)AM The Buzz all the way out in Catawba county. I'd sit in the shadow of the mighty Appalachians, staring out at the stars and getting high with stray cats, while being serenaded by the worst hockey you've never seen played in your life. That all, finally, started to change around the time TD bought the team. Part of that is due to the new NHL TV contracts and the constant reorganization of the RSNs themselves. Part, was me breaking up with that feral cat and moving to LKN to escape all the painful memories. The march of progress, and all that... I will say though, as much as I've criticized Dundon and as much as I loathe the existence of billionaires on principle, he has done an exceptional job of improving the fan experience, on the whole. Working with the league to expand the coverage map and bringing in outdoor games and all-star weeks has been huge. But, improving the quality on the ice (and of the ice) for all levels of hockey across the state has been even bigger! I forgot where I was going with all this, but... I'll still never forgive him for retiring Chuck K, though! HEY, HEY, WHADDYA SAY!!!!
