Tre Boston On Cam Newton - "Why does Cam get to have just average lines..."

Tre isn't wrong about this. 

Our offensive lines for the vast bulk of Cam's tenure have been criminally bad

Look at Grier yesterday. He got absolutely rocked and knocked out of the game.

Over the past 2 years alone, our offensive line has gotten Newton, Heinicke, Allen, and now Grier hurt to the point of having to leave the game.

It's embarrassing.

I'm honestly glad Tre is saying this. I dont think he's worried about being back next year

It is the truth. I can't think of any QB in their right mind that would want to play behind this offensive line right now.

Allen and Grier aren't the answer, but they never had a chance behind this atrocity.

Both those guys are better than other backups that have taken snaps this season.

This is why I get so angry with uneducated national media ever question Cam's toughness.

Heinicke, Allen, nor Grier were wussies but they got injured getting hit bc this team couldn't assemble a unit capable of proving not dominance but not even q baseline of protection

Tre has always spoken his mind.  Sometimes to his own detriment.  But can't lie, I appreciate him speaking up on this to continue the momentum to rebuilding the OL first and foremost. 

Based on some of the comments today, really felt like the offense and defense were two different teams at times and didn't support each other.  Or at least players lacking support in decision making (cough Hurney cough). Defensive group chats about playing elsewhere, defensive support of Cam, almost feels like some outright shots at the offense or decision making there & personnel there. Might just be frustration boiling over, but a lot of honest feelings being spoken instead of the usual "we have to get better" blah blah.

    • I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
    • I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
