Some blame can also go to Cam has he had a tendency to hold onto the ball to long in the pocket instead of the check down which he started to use more frequent in the latter portion of his career here. 

Some of that was due to Shula's offensive strategy. He generally chose to counter blitzes by keeping additional blockers in to protect. Those additional blockers are the guys who would generally be the check down options. It was that very tendency that Wade Phillips expertly exploited in the Super Bowl with his blue dog blitzes. He had the talent in the secondary to play straight up man coverage against our subpar WRs and if your guy stayed in to block, you blitzed to nullify the extra blocker and force one on one situations.

Yea I agree Shula offensive philosophy was horrible. Cam's arm talent made up for the lack of imagination in the offense.

This thread starting to remind me of the Jets thread unfortunately...smh

I liked Cam...but once he signed with the Patriots he lost all respect, Smitty(tied for best panther ever, might I add he and Olsen should call our games), didn't even do that

We released him. He signed a contract with a team offering him a contract. How you can hold that against Cam is baffling. I mean, Olsen signed with the Seahawks and there for awhile during his career here they were probably our most heated non-divisional rival. I don't hold that against Greg.

Cam, 89 and Olsen all lost their jobs and went on to find the best one they could get when they left with another team.  
 

where they went to play changes nothing about what they were to us.  None of them forced their way out.

Cam posted right away on Instagram to "not feel sorry for him" but I can't help it.

I loved the excitement and attitude he brought to the franchise and the dude works his ass off.  I hope his career continues, and soon.

 

I can honestly say, in 20 plus years of being at the stadium, there was nothing like the Luke and Cam show on Sundays.  

I’m glad I got to see it. I doubt fans will see the like again

grateful I got to see it for awhile

The Patriots....

He knew Brady was a Buc, that move made sense to hurt us twice, very petty, I liked that type of ish too...

I would have loved for Cam to win a Superbowl with the Steelers but the Patriots... that's all I'm saying...that like if Jordan came back to the Lakers

It sucks seeing a favorite player sign with a team you don't like, but it doesn't really make any sense to hold it against them. They're just trying to further their careers.

Now when players leave and then trash talk the organization, that's another story.

      Perfect example why Zod said they are getting rid of the Tinderbox. 😉 Segmenting which swallow has the best airspeed velocity is what divides us! Bravo Zod.

      Who needs to step up in 2026

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      I've been reading around on different websites about our team and OTAs and minicamps.  There are several members of this team that need to step up.  These are a few of mine.  Please feel free to add to the iist. 1. Bryce Young, Obviously the No. 1 person who needs to step up.  Bryce has been given everything a QB could ask for.  We have a top tier offensive line. Big WRs that can get open and make plays.  A decent running game.   Over tha past couple of years we have really put enough players in position to help him.  He has to be the guy to step up and utitlize his players. 2. Jaelan Phillips, Just because of the massive contract we gave him.  He has to be the leader of the pass rush.  He has to be in double digit sacks or the money isn't worth it.  He has to bring Scourton and the rest of the group to the top. 3. Ejiro Evero, Two years ago he had the statically worst defense in NFL history but was given a reprieve because we focused primarily on the offensive side of the ball for Young.  Last year we improved and we just didn't have enough to stop elite QBs.  This year he has been given just about everything a defensive coordinator could ask for.  IMO he has 4 cornerbacks that have impressed this offseason.  He received solid help for Brown with Hunter and Phillips. Our weakest area, LB Corp, we signed Lloyd to solidify that group.  With all the tools he has this season he needs to show why we kept him after 2024.  IMO he has no excuses this season.   Lastly, IMO is X. Legette. He has shown sporadic flashes but nothing to justify being a first round pick.  The WR room is stacked this season and any number of players from that group could make the 53 man roster. XL is going to have to show out this preseason.  At minimum, he performs well enough to possibly get a trade to a team needing a WR.  I think with T-Mac, Coker and Brazzell in the mix for the top three position we would be wise to utilize the remaining WR spots for players with a larger ceiling than XL.  Training Camp and Preseason will sort them out and IMO if XL doesn't flat out show out he's done in Carolina.  Feel free to add to this list.  And of course, your opinion.

      I'm all for it. Improved moderation sounds great. A number of thoughtful dudes and I believe 100% of the thoughtful women that used to post here have been gone for years.
