Good to see we don't have to worry about him trying to be forced to throw from the pocket again:

"What he has done has really refined his game, really become a pro, but he's going to play his way," Turner said. "He's going to run -- that's what makes him the dynamic player he is -- but also making the throws in the pocket, going through his reads. All of those things come from experience, and he's played seven seasons now."

I always believed he would become the best QB in football. In my opinion he is. He has those extra dimensions the other guys can't duplicate. Lots of QBs can run but can they run power? Can they juke and break ankles? Can they jump over the pile? Can they truck LBs and CBs? His combination of size, force, speed, agility, great downfield accuracy, leadership by example, etc. etc.

My problem with the NFL is I feel that for years they intentionally sanctioned the stereotypical QB and what they should and shouldn't DO or BE on the field. Cam was the threat that had to be dealt with sanctioned blatantly "illegal" head shots, a free for all that continued into the SB.

I just want to see us focusing on having an overall offense and calling plays that help Cam and the offense be successful rather than hoping that Cam can help the offense and play call be successful.

So what you're saying is that coach's choices in play-design and play-calling can contribute to the success of a play?

Dude... radical. 

You sure you don't want to reconsider this insanity?

I am all for keeping Cam as a dual threat QB vs limiting his running. However, they gotta get the ball outta his hands quicker. Does that mean changing Cam or changing the playbook? To be honest, I think it’s a little bit of both. I hated Shula’s plays but I can’t tell u how many times I was screaming at my TV for Cam to just get rid of the ball. 

Cam might have been held back by dumb coaching, but let’s also not pretend Cam is perfect either. He’s got plenty of things he can improve on. I don’t think anything drastic needs to happen tho in order for him to reach his potential.

I am hopeful that Scott and Norv can help Cam fix the things that Mike and Ken could not. Everyone knows the issues but little changed. Cam is going to evolve from running to passing as he ages and can't take the punishment any longer. That isn't a debate. The issue is helping him by getting the talent he needs and helping him maximize the skills and abilities he has.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
