Dude are you high or is this a joke!!!

you can’t fix accuracy with a better scheme or less or better talent. 

For real.. I saw Cam get a change in scheme where he didn't always have to throw to 50/50 hand wr in tight window down the field all the time.. To having better pass catchers and players who made plays off easier throws to a 6 to 7 point jump in completion rate... I saw Josh Allen go from a career 60% comp rate guy jump to almost 70% last season why??? Oh wait that added better pass catchers around him and gave him way more easy throws during a game...

What are you talking about??.. If you've have watched football the last 5 years you would see this trend happening all around the league...

These are the passes we were consistently asking Cam to make with 1 proven pass catching targets. 2014-2015 season...

2018 -2019 we give him better weapons and a scheme that didn't asked for always throw needles threw screen doors.. Before he got hurt in the Steelers game was his best comp% season ..

His arm is strong enough to throw it 40 yards in the air and he can make all the throws. He will develop more velocity as he improves in an NFL program physically and mentally.  He won't be confused for being athletic but like Brees he is elusive in the pocket which is very important.

The dude wins games.

Something we could stand to do.

Alabama wins games. But… Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Justin Fields, Trey Lance, Mac Jones, Kellen Mond, Kyle Trask and so on and so on all won games. Teddy B in college won games.

I'll trust the staff if he's the guy, but I'm not getting excited about the poor man's Matt Ryan when Teddy already exists. 

When his selling points are "he can throw the ball" and "he won games" that's quite the low bar.  When you toss in the details of "he can throw the ball to the best skill group ever assembled in college with an amazing OL and run game" and "he won games at Alabama where career backup QBs can win a national title", it's a little less appealing.   Dude just screams safely mediocre and not much else.  So if the Kirk Cousins & Alex Smith's of the world get you all hot and bothered, go nuts. Couldn't be me though.

I'll still take the 2001 Canes.

McGahee, Portis, Gore, Johnson, Winslow and Shockey. Two certain HoFers.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
