Hurney and Rivera knew full well the chances of Cam playing an entire season were very low. Everyone knew to stay very cautiously optimistic and hoped for a real contingency plan this year.

 

Cam being out is not an excuse. It is not some sort of unknown variable. It was always part of the problem with this season.

 

That said, this is not an excuse for Hurney or Rivera. They must win or they must go.

Rivera needs to earn his 3rd coach of the year award like his job depends on it. Because it does. And I'm not so sure the answer (for this season) is on the roster if Cam is going to be out an extended period of time. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough what Hurney thinks.

They better try and get Eli that's their only chance. He is better than what we have as backups. I would like to have chances to win but it won't happen with those guys. I just don't want to give up on a season this early but I guess that's what is going to happen.

Uh I wouldn’t say everything happening now...we expected cans shoulder not foot. Though I guess we don’t know how long his shoulder would’ve held up or if his issues were from the foot or shoulder or both...

But there is absolutely no reason to win out unless your name is Ron Rivera.

Eli has a no trade clause and I’m pretty sure he has zero interest in joining another team. He loves the Giants and likes Daniel Jones. I think he just wants to help Jones through his rookie year then retire.

He also has an $11.5M salary we would have to figure out how to fit under the cap.

What do you give up for Eli? A 6th?

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      Yes and 22 fumbles losing 12.  and looking at just this year he is 20th in yards , 16th in passing tds, 21st QBR.  16th is middle of the nfl , with several big name qbs injured most of the year that would normally be above him.  He has had horrible games this season and better games this season .  His last few weeks he has been trending in the right direction.  He shows out and wins next 2 games for the panthers and wins a playoff game I will eat my words and return to say you are correct he is a great nfl qb, but at this point in time he has had probably 6 really good games in his 3 year career.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      I have done some research into this subject. Clete Blakeman’s crew called the most penalties in the NFL in 2024. When Blakeman is assigned, the outcome becomes high-variance. The sheer volume of penalties means the referees have an outsized impact on the result. This is ideal for "trap games" where the league might want to introduce chaos into a matchup that looks like a guaranteed blowout on paper. The assignment makes perfect sense in hindsight for a usually high powered Chiefs offense going against the lowly Titans. But in the end the variance of Blakeman’s crew calling a high volume of penalties allowed the game to be influenced by the officials and yes, have Vegas’s preferred outcome occur. It happens very often.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
