Rivera: "he wanted to win; I'm proud of the effort"

How nice Ron. It's too little too late, but it's something.

"Cam Newton was about as courageous as it gets," said Rivera, who contemplated pulling Newton from the game. "He didn't want to come out. He tried to make some throws he probably shouldn't have, but that's him. He's a competitive man. He wanted to win.

"He's playing hard, playing to win, and he was not going to stop. I'm proud of the effort."

Translation: Cam shouldn't of been playing in a pointless game but...we played him anyway because Cam always wants to play. 

Hell, Ron, Cam wanted to play the game following breaking his back and then did every game after.....yet you shutdown a healthy Luke? 

Not good management of Cam.

Cam was obviously hurting yesterday. Continuing to play him was dumb for his health and for the team. Running him on 3rd down to set up a long FG attempt in a meaningless game was dumb. The inability to tell your star player he needs to sit is dumb. 

This is the play that pissed me off the most.

3rd and f*cking 4 with 17 seconds left and TWO timeouts and the ball is on the Tampa 43. It's a meaningless game and your QB (your everything) is already banged up and you run him up the middle?

For what??? 

Also like I've been saying for a few years now we need a new kicker. I'm not sure how Gettleman structure that awesome extension he gave that loser Gano but he's got to go.

Cam should've sat. Or when Ron was ready for him to come out, he should've pulled him out. No ifs ands or buts. You're so right, it was dumb. Him playing the game yesterday was dumb. Should've let Joe Webb play a meaningless game. I don't see what harm it could've done.

I love Cam but he needs to learn how to audible more especially knowing how often teams blitz.

He nees to improve his pre-snap read along with laundry of list

What we need is a delayed route that goes in the vacant spot of the 2nd wave blitzer.

If you watch Cam's presser it  was about having the "Keep Pounding" mentality no matter the situation.

Keep Pounding!!!

    • That's why I said stats aside. I lived in CO during Allen's college career and didn't have kids at the time so I watched most of his games. Bruh, I'm telling you. Balls just spraying all over the place. The type of throws where you're honestly trying to figure out who he was even trying to throw that one too. It was crazy. Richardson was inaccurate in college but at least you could tell who he was trying to throw it too. He threw a lot of early in the game Cam Newton type balls where it seemed like he was just a little too amped up and everything was a few feet high.
    • A lot can change over the next week, but here is my best 53-man roster (note: I'm just basing this on guys on the 90 man roster currently). Obviously there could be trades/ waiver claims/ FA signings.   Offense (25) QB (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton RB (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne TE (4): Tommy Tremble, JT Sanders, Mitchell Evans, James Mitchell WR (7): Tetoria McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Theilen, Jalen Coker, Hunter Renfrow, Jimmy Horn, Brycen Tremayne  OL (9): Ikem Ekwonu, Damien Lewis, Austin Corbett, Robert Hunt, Taylor Moton, Cade Mays, Chandler Zavala, Brady Christensen, Yosh Nijman    Defense (25) DL (6): Derrick Brown, Bobby Brown, Ashawn Robinson, Tershawn Wharton, Sam Roberts, Cam Jackson OLB (5): DJ Wonnum, Pat Jones, Nic Scourton, Princely Umanmielen, Thomas Incoom  ILB (5): Trevin Wallace, Christian Rozeboom, Krys Barnes, Jon Rattigen, Claudin Cherelus S (4): Trevon Moehrig, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom, Nick Scott  CB (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Corey Thornton, Shemar Bartholomew    ST (3): LS: JJ Jansen  P: Sam Martin  K: Matthew Wright    Would like to hear everyone's thoughts
    • He was a more accurate passer at 56.2%. That's what I mean. Even by outlier standards, this dude was inaccurate. Closest I can recall to something like that would have been one of those GT QB's like Reggie Ball. Career 48.6% passer.
