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.

Great post. Sadly you have an incoming onslaught of haters making their way here to overreact.

No room here for reason or logic.

Man, I honestly think it was two good teams that played poorly. Cam did have about 3-4 throws that he should have made that would have moved the chains, but it was week one with VERY limited preseason reps. I don’t think it’s time to panic.....yet.

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'm here to watch people overreact , oversimplify or totally refuse to engage with the information provided here. 

I'm here for the passive meltdown.

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.

If we win 41-14 and we have two bombs and break out the 3-4 im on board. If we repeat last week im not doing this again

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