Yeah, that was a bad one. Still wish we had just lined up and ran the ball three times from the one. You have cam and J stew..  Let them do what they do 


Yep, should have pounded it in on four straight plays if we needed to. That's who we are, I hate when we get cute at the worst possible time.

I remember when we ran that EXACT play last year (I forgot against who), but Cam ultimately came all the way back to his 3rd read with a defender in his face and layed it out perfectly to Dickson. Cam just isn't seeing the field as good as last year. Partly is due to O-line, other part is due to lack of focus and pre-snap reads. Just hasn't been going through his progressions quick this year.

Ed Dickson all alone in the end zone for an easy one. Cam keyed in on Olsen.

Yes, even Cam Newton makes mistakes like every other NFL QB.

Damn it.

But how do you know that the play design didn't make Olsen and Tolbert (also going out for a pass in the flat, but held up by the defense) his #1 and #2 reads?  If they were, how was he supposed to go to #3 (Dickson) with the pressure coming up in his face and the unseen pressure coming from his backside?

Yes, this well could have been Cam's "bad" read.  But are you sure the play design didn't contribute to the failure?

Cam locked on.

He has to be quicker, especially when the O line is suspect.  This is an NFL MVP, top 5 paid QB, 6 year vet we are talking about here.  The play was there, and Cam missed it.

He just flat out has regressed this season.  Still a great player, but he needs to be better...just like everyone out there not named Lee, Star, and Kuechly this season.

Great QB's see the field much quicker. That is an Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady TD 10 times out of 10. Cam has to improve in this area.

      I suppose it depends on what you mean as 'elite'. I typically mean someone that can play with lower level pieces around them and still win. There are very few of those.

      The running back situation....

      By frankw · Posted

      It would obviously be incredible if Brooks came back and just ran away with the job on his opportunities like Rico Dowdle did last year. But any Panthers fan that has been around the block knows better than to go ahead and make plans for that. Brooks has missed a ton of not just playing time but meaningful early career growth in a league that has increasingly devalued the position from an investment standpoint beyond one or two superstars. There's really not any comparison to look back on that lines up with the current iteration of the league at least not favorably. The key thing that this RB room has going for them is our investment in the OL. The highest paid OL in the league two years in a row paired with our staff should make it easier for just about any RB to get into open running lanes. But that is also anything but a given considering our OL was largely middle of the pack last year. In the end it might all be a moot point anyways if we again struggle to establish a viable passing attack.

      I don't have him making the team and I think same goes for the staff, but they are hopeful for a PS spot.    I mean of course I'd like 3 all-world at RB and every spot, just doesn't work that why. Panthers normally carry 3. dan always talk up Etienne, even called him a future star.....I think Brooks will be fine as a 2 with health pls.....  Chubba can carry a seasons load as lead dawg.    Its fine, I mean backup OGs or CB is much higher on my worry scale(Id even put QB room as worse than RB room too...)
