Ryan Clark defending Cam

Recommended Posts

Cam has always played on the field and lived off the field with great care and concern for his team, his teammates, his coaches, his fans and his community. To say anything else is to not just be wrong but to expose a sad personal agenda.

Yes, his recent play is worthy of criticism. Yes, his mode of dress does invite some catcalls and ridicule. You cannot, however, argue his history, his accomplishments, his commitment or his integrity.

The guy is a man among men and when he was on, he played like a man among boys. Injuries eventually catch all the great warriors.

Real poo right there, how the hell you gonna drag Cam when we ONLY been relevant because he carried the team since he's been here, especially since 2014... after GMan blew up the offense the 1st time!

Then later blew up the defense after the SB by screwing the pooch on the Norman deal! Then f***** our depth by drafting a DT, and three f****** corners and a 7th round TE in the same year!!

We are where we are due to leadership, Cam Newton ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD has given every damn ounce!

Yeah...that ain't happenin'

I recall reports that Tepper was among the minority owners making a strong push a few years ago to get rid of Tomlin. If that was true then yeah no chance, but if that report wasn’t true then the connection is there and Tomlin may be on the outs pretty soon.

You dont know and I dont know. Right now, it’s a possibility. 

I know Tepper was one of the guy that wanted tomlin out in Pittsburgh but Tomlin is still a pretty good hc that tepper knows. I dont see tepper hiring a young coach from no where. 

I definitely could see him hiring a "young coach from nowhere" before I could see him hiring a coach he doesn't like.

Add in that if any of the Kevin Colbert stuff plays out, that might not bode too well for Mike Tomlin's chances here either.

    • BPA comes with the caveat of positional value and roster need included. Never let the latter two completely overwhelm the first, however. Our FO seems to lean heavily into "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE POTENTIALZ!!!" as a fourth category and often it seems as the #1 overall pursuit. With as many needs as this roster has, I am not going to get upset over a real roster upgrade at WR versus some reach at EDGE or whatever other extreme needs we have. Overall, I want to see the roster get better. There is far, far, FAR more than one offseason of work left to get this roster into the top 10-12 in the NFL. That should be the goal. 
    • I would say we are more likely to get smoked by Tampa, blast Seattle and then perplexingly lose to Tampa again. 
    • In general, Dave Canales tends to target his TE's the least frequently of any position group(WR/RB/TE) during his three years of running an NFL offense.  However, if you notice this percentage has crept up over time. 2025 is the first year that TE has eclipsed RB in target percentage. Production has also gone up in 2025. This is a percentage of total output in each category. Canales has always used a very TE heavy offense. In fact, on average his offensive formations are 2 or 3 TE sets roughly 80% of all offensive formations. So, the question may be, with this uptick in total TE output, could an elite or top tier TE make a significant impact? I believe there is some evidence this may be the case. Here are a look at TE snaps and Cade Otten specifically. These are the snap percentages for all rostered TE's in every Dave Canales offense. The bolded cell is Cade Otten's whopping 96.46% of total snap counts in the single year he was in the Dave Canales offense in Tampa. This was overwhelmingly his career high. His production was higher with less utilization in 2024, however.    In conclusion, while I don't anticipate ever seeing a top 5 producing/Pro Bowl caliber TE performance in a Dave Canales offense, there does appear to be some evidence that an actual upgrade in our TE room would actually lead to increasing overall offensive efficiency. I think Otten's utilization rate does indicate that the splitting of time between our relatively even TE group would cede significant snaps if a far superior option were available. I believe this is an area we could(and should have this past offseason/draft) made a more concerted effort to get a dynamic TE threat, after the apparent failure that J. Sanders appears to have been.
