Cam completed 65% of his passes tonight

[panthers55]

Sure it is preseason and yes it was only one game but Cam completed 65% of his passes tonight. Most impressive was the scramble completions he made for firsr downs. He kept looking downfield and his receivers came back for the ball. A great start for Cam and his receivers. This is exactly what Norv predicted.

You can tell WRs are being held to higher standards this year. Last year no one would have worked back to Cam.

Funchess stood out tonight. He actually played up to his size.

I really like Wright. He just seems like a savvy vet who may not do anything spectacular but he's going to be in the right place at the right time.

Samuel seems greatly improved. It seems like he's settling in as a WR and playing up to his speed measurables.

I'm curious what we have planned for Moore. Reports out of camp were pretty glowing and he looked good in the first week of preseason. I kind of feel like we've been intentionally down playing him since then. We'll see.

8th year, I'm going to sound like a glokinspiel but stats ain't got not no hot sauce.

Funchess has always done that. I mean if he can consistently run crisp routes and not be lazy he is very good. It's the consistency that is lacking because of work ethic. Wright, Frazier, and Samuel are better route runners at this point and it's because they don't get lazy. Moore looks like the speed of the game has gotten to him a bit. Not unexpected coming out of a small program. He will catch up.

Helps when your top target isn't a 300 lb lineman.... I mean WR (cough...cough...Kelvin)

Yup, it's what I have been begging for years...  All he needed was a competent OC and some viable weapons to be at his best.  He still carries the load, but now the work is distributed to a tolerable level across the supporting cast as well...  and Norv just knows when to call what, and that is probably an even bigger piece of all this than the surrounding talent level.  A good coach can scheme to his talent.  Shula wasn't a good coach lol.

I agree with you about Moore.. I think they are hiding the his part of the playbook while giving curtis some shine... Who doesn't play next week will be telling... If Moore sits early he is definitely a bigger part of the offense they aren't showing..

The Big 10 isnt small program.

So we basically waisted 5+ years of Cam’s playing sticking with Shula. That just makes me feel great!

Not sure it was “waisted” as we did make it to the Super Bowl and dominate the NFCS, but it’s still disappointing. 

[Moo Daeng]

We went to the playoffs 4 of those 5 years and made a Superbowl. Its not like it was some horrific failure.

Luckily Norv was available

Imagine an alternate universe where Mike Shula was never Cam's offensive coordinator
