Or he could be looking at the god-damn play clock and always getting a jump on the chipper between Shula's time consuming play calls and Cam's LOS adjustments. 

Correct. It wasn't mentioned in the article, but this is a big reason why the Panthers offense is predictable, and it is embarrassing to be called out for it in an article by the player that cost the Panthers a championship.

Or wait, no I'm wrong. Everyone else is right. This isn't embarrassing. He's just a great player. The Panthers are just cursed because they have a black cat as a mascot, predicable snap counts and offensive tells have nothing to do with it.

Von Miller is a hell of a player, everyone should and for the most part do acknowledge that but the Panthers made his job a lot easier by having the play-clock run low each play and Cam dropping too deep when passing.

It's not that much different than how Luke can see something and knows exactly what the offense will be running. Some players dedicate themselves to film study and have the memory, instincts and ability to blow up a play. It's not often you find players with that combination.

Do keep in mind that players always say stuff like this when they win. There's always some embellishment in there.

Von Miller is an absolute beast and clearly a very intelligent football player. 

Was he using us as an example? Maybe, but if I had a Superbowl MVP performance I'd be bringing it up too. 

I think he's a little competitive with Cam specifically because Cam went #1 overall and he went second.

Of all the teams Von has played against, of all the sacks he's gotten in his career, he picks the Panthers to illustrate his point. Chris Harris used a Panthers play in his article too. Wonder why...

Cuz we were the team that was center stage playing them for the world to see, and they executed their poo perfectly.  No other reason

I love Von Miller


Not that I don't want Cam as our qb but I can't help but wonder what this team would look like of we had our second round pick the year we drafted Cam. We could have taken Von at one and Dalton at the top of the second. I think we would probably be a better team now because the coaches and front office would have had to acquire actual talent on offense instead of just letting Cam carry it for so many years.

I'd still take Cam in a do over draft. I just love Von as a football player and an individual. He's the good, funny, weird, make sense version of the Bennett's brothers.

In a lot of ways Cam and Von are very similar personality wise, if you put them on the same team they would probably be fuging inseparable. And again I want to reiterate I am not saying i don't or wouldn't want Cam but it would be interesting to see what we would have looked like if things had been different.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
