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.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By frankw · Posted

      Yeah I find myself flipping between the worst case scenario of Bryce either playing just mediocre enough for our decision makers to justify giving him a contract extension in their eyes because they want to justify drafting him. Or Bryce going back to playing poorly and us having no one else to fall back on because Pickett might be decent for one or two games but there's no one else and our locker room starts to get ugly because we went all in with our salary cap and guys careers are on the line. This scenario which IMO is the higher probability given our schedule and the amount of tape out there on Bryce is why I say if we can trade down and acquire a few more mid or late round picks we should draft a developmental QB. Not looking for a guy to be the savior but someone with the necessary physical tools and who could actually run a QB sneak. But we'll just have to see how it shakes out. I just want a competitive team but the last thing I want is the season to fall apart because we once again threw our arms up in regards to the QB room.

      ^This. Rico was dynamite when we needed it last season, but not enough to keep but it massively upped his earning potential. It was a win-win for both sides. And he was there to cover the hole left by the injury to another RB, and hopefully his release to free agency means there's good news for us on the way. These new ones give us the opportunity to do that again, on the offensive line and elsewhere. We've got some long term question marks here and there due to injuries and age, and these players have a chance to up their value on the open market or settle down with us if the opportunity arises. And none of it ties us down with dead money down the road if it doesn't work out. And we've been in dead money hell for a decade now. Lease the ones you like, buy if you fall in love.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      By firefox1234 · Posted

      Our red zone offense was excruciatingly painful to watch last season. A half decent TE would do a lot to change that.
