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.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
