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.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
