Confidence Boost! ...maybe???

So I know a lot of folk are concerned with Cam’s ability to be great after his performance in game one. 

Here was his stat line:

C/ATT: 25/38, 65.8%

YDS: 239, 6.3 AVG

TD: 0

INT: 1

FUMBLE: 1

RTG: 72.1

===========

C/ATT: 21/35, 60%

YDS: 262, 7.5 AVG

TD: 0

INT: 1

FUMBLE: 1

RTG: 71.4

 

The second stay line is Brady’s, against the Rams, in the super bowl. 

Maybe, that doesn’t mean anything and isn’t a fair comparison. But maybe Cam was actually just rusty like he claimed, and he’s still as capable as he always has been of being a tremendous quarterback. 

Rejoice! Because tonight the Panthers will come to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And they’re all out of bubblegum.

Wasting time and energy defending Cam's play is a fool's errand.  We lost the turnover battle and couldn't stop the run --- if those aren't the two keys to winning any game, then I don't know what is.  Cam is good enough to beat any team out there on his best days, and still half of them on his average days.  But if his supporting cast doesn't do their job, Uncle Rico himself can't overcome lack of execution, sloppy turnovers and brace yourself...missed opportunities with four fumbles and zero recoveries. I sat in the nose bleeds with an endzone view and 75% of the time I saw our D-Line getting gutted, over pursuing plays and completely abandoning their gap assignments...yet Cam and his head scarfs are the ones to blame...oh okay den.

I've said all week that what Cam did on Sunday is actually much better that what the average mob thinks it was.

TD's and INT's tend to work themselves out over the season.  But if you take his stat line from Sunday and extrapolate completions, attempts and yards over 16 games you get 400 / 608 for 3800 yards at almost 66% completion.  It would only take a couple big games to become a career year for him.  If Sunday is "bad Cam" for 2019, we are in for a helluva show.

Any of us could run that offense from sunday. Checkdowns and hitches

    • It’s definitely a bit of a crapshoot, but Joe covers the team for a living—there’s a baseline expectation that he should have a deep, working knowledge of the roster, positional groups, and overall team needs. That kind of familiarity should come through in the analysis. At times, though, it feels more like he approaches covering the Panthers as an assignment rather than something he’s genuinely invested in. When you read some of the other beat writers at The Athletic, the contrast stands out. There’s a noticeable difference in how deeply they dive into roster construction, scheme fits, player development, and front office philosophy. Their work often feels more detailed, more nuanced, and more connected to the day-to-day reality of the team. That’s not to say Joe doesn’t provide value, but compared to some of his peers, the level of insight and depth just doesn’t always feel as sharp or as thorough as it could be
    • Per Tony Pauline: https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-active-news-sources-giants-heavily-weighing-wr-with-ten-pick-amid-malik-nabers-injury-concerns-david-bailey-a-game-changer-for-robert-saleh/ Surprise Picks In The First Round As we get closer to the draft, the chatter is getting louder about surprise picks in the bottom half of Round 1. So which teams are talked about as pulling shockers right now, just a few days out from the start of the draft? Most I’ve spoken with say keep an eye on picks 20, 21, and 22, presently owned by the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Los Angeles Chargers. I’m told cornerback Chris Johnson and linebacker Jacob Rodriguez are in play for the Cowboys with the 20th pick, their second selection in the initial round. Rodriguez is also being spoken about as a possibility for the Buffalo Bills at the 26th pick.   
    • Who was better Jon Beason or Jrod???, for college prospect terms in their drafts...   I think its clear and Jon was what 25th?   Jarod does have luke-like traits and that was 9th overall.   I feel Jon had him covered tho....
