Panthers Job More Attractive Than Packers - CBS Sports

What’s holding him back? First it was Shula so we got Norv then lack of weapons and we have an all world rb and fast wideouts  now it’s ron. So under what scenario would we win with cam?

I'm over making excuses for Cam and we see a lot of other QBs do more with less.  My biggest issue with Cam is I don't trust him to deliver game winning drives.  He's having a career year and he's been terrible running the 2 minute offense.  Stats don't show this but anyone that has watched the Panthers this year can't feel good about Cam in the 2 minute offense.  

Now it seems he can't stay healthy and this is a problem because a pocket passing Cam that can't or won't scramble is not a very good QB.  Take away Cam's ability to run and and you only have an average to below average QB and the stats back this up.

Yeah but unlike the panthers those teams could win without a great performance from their QB

Thats my point.

 

If the D was playing anywhere near the level they've played in the past few years we would be talking about HFA and first round byes.

What's fuged up is the first name that came to mind that would be perfect here is Josh McDaniels. Then, I remembered the screw job with the Colts and he's tied down to that franchise. And then i was like fug, you know who would be better? fuging Frank Reich. Returning home to his first starting position. Not happening now though. Why aren't we going after the Oklahoma guy? fug Kliff Kingsbury.

McDaniels would be bad news for us. Can't forget what he did to single handedly dismantle a very solid Broncos roster to bring them to the gutter.

I like the line, "What we're getting for three hours on Sunday should be better than this,".  Sums up the situation.  And the blank slate situation is rare and should attract a group of coaches we'd probably never get with the previous owner.

I thought that summed up the Panthers pretty well, even before the 4-game slide.  With the possible exceptions of the Bengals, Ravens, and first Bucs game, it applies across the board.

Exactly.  Even I could have played QB for those teams because there were some dominating defenses in that group, and the Giants had a bruising running game.  The Giants teams that won with Eli were arguably the weakest on that list and they stepped it up to this level when the playoffs came.

You can make a credible case that perhaps the Panthers could have taken the whole thing in 2015 had a game manager played in the Super Bowl.  The Broncos were barely noticeable on offense in that game, and 18 of their 24 points happened with 3 yards of offense.  The problem is that without some heroics out of Cam earlier in the season, they might not have been around to play that game.

Pretending our 2018 defense could impact a game, any game, to the level of the teams those QBs played on is a fool's errand.

Can you win a ring with cam ?? That’s the question to be answered

it's like people forget that even with Shula calling plays, arena football level receivers, and Mike Remmers getting abused by Von Miller you can still find yourself down 6 with the ball in the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl with Cam Newton as your QB

Cam's not the problem this year, it's the soft swiss cheese defense that can't get off the field on 3rd down making below average offenses look like the Patriots.  The game last Sunday was an aberration.  I really want to believe that every fan can see what the Panthers record would be if the defense had shown up this season.

He should have been fired before he even coached his first game there.  Then add the Indy "I'm in, just kidding" scenario and I don't know why anybody would get within 500 miles of him.

It’s a legitimate question I like Cam but this seems to be a cam love fest forum where we make excuses for cam and blame every other player and coach except cam 

Have you watched our games this season? Are you blind?

Cam missed a throw on a 2pt conversion and played poorly last week. 

Big deal.

Our coaching staff and defense have plagued us all year.

This defense hasn't been able to stop anybody on 3rd down all fuggin year, and somehow this fanbase still finds a way to bash our future hall of fame QB. God we do not deserve Cam. If our defense could stop ANYBODY, we would legit be 9-3 right now. After all the sh*t this man has done for us, carrying this stupid ass franchise on his shoulders for 8 years now, making a dipsh*t coach a two time coach of the year, smashing the NFL and winning MVP (with Ted fuggin Ginn as his #1 receiver) only to have his coaches come out with the dumbest gameplan EVER in a superbowl, while also having to deal with practice squad level WR talent almost his whole career, you would think this fanbase would be more appreciative, but I guess they yearn for the Clausen and Matt Moore days.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
