NGL, the announcers and crowd seem to be favoring Mac over Cam, and it seems like McDaniels is too.  One thing that really irritated me with McD last season was he seemed to call some old Wing T, Lateral-passes-only offense with Cam in last year, and then started calling pro-style offenses when Stidham and the other guy got in last season...  he appears to be doing the same so far this season.  

Multiple screens and runs on Cam's two drives...  seemed to run a ground and pound, run heavy style...  then Mac comes in and they ran one time so far and then had him chucking it down field every other play.

I don't like the way this is playing out.

Well Mac Jones is pretty much the typical game manager. He’s going to take the first read that’s there everytime. That’ll keep you from losing games and maybe that’s what Bill wants, but it damn sure won’t win you any. Defense was much different with Cam in the game as well going against their 1s, with our buddy Ron calling some blitzes.

I've been thinking this as well.  It just really irritates me that McD uses Cam like he's effing T3bow.

Why? He has shoulder issues that don’t seem to hold up long term. What’s the point of making him sling it in preseason. You also know what you have and they need to thorough test out Mac.

It was reported that Mac was awful in the beginning and is progressing quickly. Cam is going toe to toe with a rookie. It would surprise me quite a bit if Cam is their QB for the whole season.

Of course it is just practice and preseason, and that never says much about anything.

No he didn’t….fumble sack, threw a 4 ft screen pass behind his RB

 

I missed some of the game so I didn't see that. The drive I saw he was staying in the pocket, setting his feet, and throwing high velocity darts. I don't think he ever went deep though and his shoulder always gets worse as the season goes on.

There is a reason for that most likely.  I feel like they pretty much know his shoulder can't handle making many throws especially during the preseason it's not worth it.  He also just cant make as many of those deep throws any more.

    • I mean, poster also said Young or Mahomes, it would have made no difference.  If there was way to actually test that hypothetical, I would sell every belonging I have and wager that Mahomes would indeed yield different results.  Mahomes automatically changes the D coverages.  He automatically changes the threats.  He attacks and threatens a field different vastly different.   We have seen good QBs and great QBs play behind horrific OLs in a single season....and they don't default into being the worst team in the NFL.  Frank Reich was old, stubborn and not creative enough to deal with an anomaly QB like Bryce.  The best QB in the NFL wouldn't be handicapping Frank, they would be enhancing Frank.  Starting week 1, Frank didn't even trust Bryce with basics....Frank gave him I what I feel comfortable with you being able to do offense.  Which took throws and plays off the table because Bryce couldn't do early on what a bad vet in Dalton could.  Mahomes would not yield the same results. 
    • All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.
    • but what if.....and here me out....the pro Bryce Young stuff was coming from people under Fitterer.  You know, the people who are employed to feed him that input.  And they happen to all still be employed here.  when Rhule was fired I desperately wanted Fitterer fired.  It set things up for Fitterer to be the sacrificial lamb the next time things went poorly....every time we move on from a disaster, we are retaining a heavy % of the folks who helped bring the disaster we are "moving on from".  Everyone argued Fitterer probably could be great and it was all Rhule.  We are just repeating the same stuff to a degree IMO.   Panthers needed a clean slate post Rhule era.  Needed another post Frank era.  Things were just too bad or too dysfunctional IMO to be salvaging so much.   We keep failing to do that.
