Watching Lamar Jackson is a painful reminder just how hurt Cam has been

Easy to forget that Newton was doing that as recent as 2017. He was our leading rusher, and nearly led the offense to a playoff upset in NO with an absurdly thin WR core. Also started out 2018 with early MVP whispers.

Shame so many are unwilling to give him the benefit of the doubt. But then again they never did to begin with. Just waited for the next opportunity to say I told you so.

It all began with TJ Ward, Week 1, 2016 IMO and then we ran him into the ground in 2017 and gave him an awful awful OL. 

2017 was the year that f*cked him up and he somehow retooled into having a great 2018 until we all know what happened against TJ Watt.  2017 really wore him down IMO and that's what he's still working back from as much as the injuries.  DG and Rivera really served him crap for years and Cam had to figure out new ways to win in spite of them. 

It's al these damn TJs. 

BLAME TJ.

That being said, I can see him coming back with fire but also retire so it's just such a mixed bag scenario all around.

Lamar looking like 2015 Cam Newton out there. Pisses me off to no end what could have been under competent coaching and health management. 

 

Also, I'm drinking bourbon.

 

Love,

If you think it pisses you off, think of Newton 

If Newton goes, I want Hurney and Ron out of here. They have had nine years with newton, Luke, Christian, to get it done, they haven’t 

we have Marv Lewis less then character issues

      I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
