Cam Newton was absolutely atrocious

I know I defended him last week, but this game was completely out of the usual for him. Balls were constantly behind the receivers, he missed wide open throws, he delivered balls late, he was almost intercepted thee different times. I know the protection was awful, but even when he had time he was downright awful. I am not sure how much longer you stick with him if he continues performances like these, he let the defense down, he had single high coverage 90% of that game.

So you're ready to clean house, and trade players for picks? We're not going to find a quarterback overnight. This team sure as hell doesn't have an elite defense, or a good enough offense that some random can just stand back there and game manage.

As bad as Cam was, I do not understand how we didn't attempt a ton of screen passes with the Bucs literally running jail break blitzes rushing 7 or 8 guys. Doing that a few times would not only result in big plays but also force the Bucs to chill with their blitzes. The god awful playcalling only encouraged and rewarded the Bucs for blitzing every single down

I don't know how you do much worse the way he played tonight against a soft Bucs D.

I'm not sure it's the right path either, but if Cam can't get right/get healthy then this season is lost anyway.

Could Cam have put the ball on target?

Yeah every time you saw them creeping up to the line and playing press man on the outside you could just feel the sack/hit coming.  Must have been utterly demoralizing.

how many qbs could play for this coach and in this offense behind that oline?

you have two dinosaurs coaching the team, a radio host as GM and an owner who is too weak to pull the trigger on firing anybody. it's like an 80 year old driving a ferrari, driving 10 below the limit in the passing lane.

I don't care about how much some may defend him, he's done so much for this franchise, but his play tn with this coaching staff will result in a cascade of losses.  Factor in the OL play to the left and we're going to have some MAJOR issues.  This wasn't even a great defense, just one who knew how to attack our offensive weaknesses without Cam running.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Wanting that type of play and being okay with paying $55 million a season for it are two entirely different things. If Bryce were to become the same player Purdy has been, then he would surpass my expectations of him and I'd be okay with him as our QB of the future (and again, I've long been one of the bigger anti Bryce people here who doesn't think he is capable of being our long term solution). But in no world would I be okay with paying him THAT kind of money, paying an average starter elite money is just a terrible decision.

      I don't think they can overcome that mistake. Hell Lance was a hiccup compared to this. He isn't going to be able to carry that price tag and now he is going to have to do just that. Lol. The NFL is so dumb sometimes.

      So, one could say that T-Mac is quicker than someone of his size should be and while he might not be quite as fast as Evans in the 40, he's more athletic than Evans. If only someone, anyone, could have seen that in his tape and mentioned that on here, hmmmmmmm In all seriousness, hearing he tested in the 89th percentile in that drill at his size is crazy impressive.  Just tried to look up the times of the top WRs in the league right now, most don't show at time for that, but I did see Chase ran his in 7 seconds flat. I honestly don't know how true this is, but I do remember seeing one breakdown of his tape and the person said he has quiet and efficient feet.  That he's really good at using the minimal steps possible to make his cuts and because of that, it actually makes him look slower to the human eye because you don't see all the quick chop steps that the guys like Tyreek would use in their running. I'm still in a state of disbelief that he's a Panther and it might not fully hit me until week 1 and I see him out there making plays for us, still feels like Goodell is going to just be like, "YOU GOT PUNKED!!!  hahaha, he's a Cowboy now, suck it"
