Okay, so where to start with this one?

I don't think all hope is lost. Cam obviously doesn't look like Cam, but he is coming off of another shoulder surgery, he virtually didn't play in preseason and when he did it resulted in a foot injury that cost him valuable time. Watching Cam go from week 1 to week 2, he didn't look like shoulder injury Cam from 2018, he looked like a guy that kept having his brilliance turned on and off line a light switch at any give time, which makes me think he's extremely rusty. When Cam isn't being superman, Rivera simply cannot win games. He's not that type of coach. It's no secret that Cam has rarely, if ever looked good in a preseason game and he usually starts the season off slow, so with all these new added disasters, it's quite possible Cam's rustier than he's ever been.

I wouldn't be surprised if in the coming weeks Cam gets his timing back and the OL gels a bit going from utter poo to just pretty fuging bad. It's not over and I'd never bet against a guy that immediately returned after breaking his spine.

I just re-watched the game and I have to admit that Cam looked halfway decent in the first half. However, i honestly think he got tired in the 4th quarter. This could be a result of the vegan diet and not getting enough protein. I went vegan for 9 months and that happened to me.

Frankly, i wish Cam would put his "drip" on the shelf, get a haircut, eat a steak and focus more on being a football player and less on being an "icon and an entertainer". If he doesn't get his head right his career just might be coming to an end.

Rusty as he may be, his shoulder can't physically withstand the whipping motion he's always used. The new style, while more sustainable, is obviously limiting the distance and velocity on his throws. Then you have the anticipation and accuracy, which is another story. So, yeah, hope he shakes that rust off...

Plenty, plenty of proteins available to vegans. I’m closer to carnivore than vegan or even omnivore, but Cam’s diet isn’t his issue.

I dont see how anyone can say he doesnt look injuried. Cam use to fling the ball 60 yards almost effortlessly.. it was really his super power more so than the running. Now.. every throw looks like he has to reach down inside of him and summon the courage of Zeus's mother to throw the ball 30 yards. This is a travesty.. it's like watching one of the rarest most endangered species on the planet get caught in a fishing net struggling and dying at the same time..

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Week 16 - Other NFL Games

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.
