Cam Just Said Coaches Were Conservative

Recommended Posts

Post-game on-field interview, Chris Meyers said Ron told him we wouldn't be conservative in the second half, Cam appeared to shrug that off and said, "well, we WERE conservative.  It's not how we wanted to do it, but at the end of the day you have to trust your coaching."

Smh...  look, all that matters is we won, but we've been blowing huge leads all season and have to fight off our heels for a single game saving play, game after game after game.

Again, as long as we keep winning it doesn't matter, but Ron has to know better by now.  Nobody is asking him to throw hail marys every down, but come on man...  that was ridiculous.  We won, but these wins don't feel like they carry the momentum they should when we back into it.

But thats my issue...  he went f'ing knute rockne-era on offense, but after getting torched for blown coverages and mismatches on their first two possessions, you're dialing up corner blitzes with your best cover corner?  Lol...  it was just an all-around brain fart for an entire half.  Send blitzes, play 10 yards off, bite on short and intermediate routes, get burnt.  Or play 10 yards off, stay 10 yards off relative to movement, give up 20 yards a pop. Rinse, repeat.

the defense was on the field practically the entire 2nd half. they were gassed. 

you don't call 3 conservative plays on offense only to put ur defense back on the field. 

that's basic poo the coaches should be aware of, especially after blowing leads to the Colts, Packers, and Giants during the regular season. 

Yeah.

Since Seattle pretty much had throw the entire time. You were literally wearing your defense and pass rush down, as they had to do it repetitively.

    • I think his stats will depend on the development of the rookies and sophomore receivers, which isn't totally under is control. The eye test is a different story. Has to consistently look the part before you decide to pay him Purdy money. 
    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
