We won't allow Cam to show what he can do with innovative offensive coaching?

Everybody is missing the reality of how football works.

New coach and new OC come in. They look at the signed roster. They are told the FA guys from last year that the GM wants to re-sign. They then meet with the team. They talk individually with all the guys. Based on that and any physical look they might be able to get within NFL rules at this time of year (not sure how that goes, honestly), they decide who they want around.

If Cam and the new staff don't jive, they part ways. It is that simple. If Rhule and Brady just really don't want Cam, then Cam will likely get traded. The reason being, it'll be essentially a lame duck year if there is animosity between coach and QB and that isn't fair to anybody involved.

Having said all that, I honestly don't anticipate it. I know guys who have seen Cam around Charlotte and said that he can be sort of full of himself (he's a young star NFL QB, of course he is. I don't view it as an indictment like some people do), but I honestly feel professionally, Cam will show up and play. Period. If the coaches don't like his play, then that's on them and Cam wouldn't hold any ill will. He'd gracefully leave Charlotte. But I just don't see it happening. Cam's potential upside is far too high. I am, however, completely prepared to see Cam traded because it does fall within the realm of possibility and for good reason, as I have stated.

Cam has no leverage. He'd be seen as too much of an issue by the new regime if he refused to play out his final year since he has played 10 games in two seasons due to injury. He has to prove that he can still produce AND stay healthy at this point. If he balls out, Cam is getting PAID next off season. If he doesn't, we move on from him and he might get signed by a team in need for a QB on a three to five year deal somewhere.

I'd argue the exact opposite. I always went nuts trying to figure out why we didn't throw slants when we had Funchess because it was almost always automatic assuming Funch caught it. Cam can throw the quick pass, and I think he'd benefit gratefully in the kind of system NO runs. Tons of quick passes with the occasional shot down field. Before he got injured two seasons ago, he was executing that minus nailing the long ball. Having the shoulder fixed, maybe that deep ball is back.

Imagine Cam throwing those slants and deep ins to DJ and Curtis. Brady's offense is literally designed around those levels concepts and flood concepts. Those are Cam's strengths.

I don't agree... Cam was very good at getting the ball out quickly on short routes early in 2018.  He also still had the ability to deliver the ball accurately deep early in 2018...  But that faded with his shoulder health.

At times in his career Cam has lacked touch on his short balls that made them hard to catch.  But he improved on that for 2018 IMO.

Just because you have only seen Cam play in an antiquated offense, doesn't mean he can't play in a modern offense.

Norv and Shula's trash offense was exactly that, trash.

Playing devil's advocate for a minute.  But Cam couldn't even get the plays off in time. What makes you think he can quickly release the ball.

      Hmmm... not a good start. Maybe I'm reading too much into this but after the guy who has been carrying your offense expresses frustration with his sudden lack of use and your HC just blows it off and confirms they haven't even talked, your PR team decides to use the guy who should be his backup as their poster boy hyping this week's game? Yikes. Hard not to interpret that as another slap in the face.

      For some reason this is becoming a disturbing trend in the NFL. Teams are shutting down one part of their offense without causation from the opposition. Shane Steichen did it an overtime loss against Kansas City last week with the best back in the NFL. Pete Carroll allowed Chip Kelly to completely abandon the run game against Dallas the week before he was fired in Oakland as the OC. Matt Lafleur abandoned the pass instead choosing to rely on a bottled up run game when we clearly were having issues with the passing game. Big brain play callers some of them HCs are what the league wanted along with high powered offense and these dudes are making some of the dumbest situational calls I've ever seen. At least most of them are young and can learn, Canales included. I remember Norv Turner trying to throw the ball around the yard in a certain SuperBOWL, going in at halftime down 13-6. Emmitt Smith said get me the d*mn ball and took over in the 2nd half. Remember Kyle Shanahan in the 2nd half vs. the Patriots? This shite happens to the best and the brightest. We are just actively seeing it play out in real time just like Atlanta and Dallas fans before us.  Also, not saying Canales is going to become either of those, just begging/hoping for our sanity he gets his shite together if he's going to be our HC.
