He was already turned. Watt came from Cam’s right not from his blindside. I would bet he saw him (I would be worried if he didn’t) and tried to make the deep throw. Point is, you have to see that guy on the right and know he’s either coming and CMC is wide open or he’s covering CMC and you have to find another guy. Kind of like a read option in a pass play. No TE on that side so QB has to read that OLB. Even the announcers remarked that he should have seen him. I think Cam did see him but was willing to take the hit for a big play. I also have a feeling that we got down so quick that Cam was thinking big plays. When we were 6-2 we only lost by 1 score in both of those games so we weren’t in desperate straights (maybe 4th vs. Eagles) until Pittsburgh so he could take what he got and not risk the hits.

Some may disagree with me but that shot by Watts was coordinated.  I have no doubt that those defenders were told if they can get a hit on Cam to target that shoulder.

Very possible.

If we hear things...or should I say when we hear things like "pitch count" "vet days" "new normal"....and then during pre season if our offense looks exactly like it did last season....I think we will have a pretty good idea.

Thats the nightmare scenario.

All too often, people look at how a veteran or an injured player is performing in week one and say "See? He's fine" without accounting for the fact that an NFL season is a war of attrition.

The guy who looks great in week one or two might not look so good by week ten.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
