Cam's throws today

What I saw today did not look like a QB coming off shoulder surgery.  Not sure if he just needed a few weeks to get his groove on, or maybe he's just finally had enough time to really heal, but that was a damned clinic today.  Accuracy better than I've seen from Cam in a loooong time.  He still throws the dump-off balls harder than he needs when his guys are wide open for easy 5-10 yard completions, but he did seem to be slinging the ball really well.  The Oline did a good job giving him time to throw, so kudos to them.  His confidence was definitely back, and that's the fuel for his engine.

Let's enjoy this win - and may it be the springboard momentum we need to string some W's together!  Go Panthers!

Well, there were a lot of people who said it was going to take a few weeks for his shoulder to get back 100%. So, really we should've expected trash Cam earlier, and as the season progresses the better he gets. I didn't watch the game, but looking at his box score, he had a great game. I'd expect a few more great games from him as the shoulder continues to get better

On the int. If Byrd did not hesitate and kept running his route I don't think it would have been picked. I don't think he could have caught it in double coverage but would have had the chance himself to break up the int. Regardless, that was a bad ball thrown by Cam. Thank goodness that was the only one. Cam looked sharp today.

Funchess made a great play on a ball late in the 4th. basically acted as a DB and saved it from being picked. those two were the only shitters today.

Funchess actually saved the game for us. That break up and that pivot 4 yard pass thst he caught while he was injured

Cam was clearly more accurate and also seemed to have better zip on the ball than he's had so far this season. But the pass protection - or the lack of a Pats pass rush, whichever you want to credit more - definitely helped.

It's amazing the difference between Cam with and without solid pass protection. You give him time to throw and he's a legit MVP caliber QB, even with Shula's shortcomings as an O.C. and even with mediocre receivers, as we saw in 2015.

In that sense he's no Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady as far as operating under pressure, but more of a Peyton Manning, who was money when given protection, but almost looked like a different player when consistently pressured.

I swear, if this organization can just find a steady tackle tandem we'd be set. Today aside, I just don't think Matt Kalil and Daryl Williams is it.

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      By CRA · Posted

      When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays

      Saturday roll call

      9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant

      So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
