What has Cam done?


The Question
 Share

Recommended Posts

I used to think it was just being un vaccinated and that he'd really take a role as a backup as to why he didn't have a job earlier ... But if that's true... Why doesn't NE bring him back?  l think it's because even though he says he'd be a backup *he* thinks he'd still be a distraction whether he would be or not... Because unfortunately maybe he would be.

I mean we are talking about the guy that made a video interview with his dad after he was released... I dunno... I think that kinda thing is a turnoff to FOs and coaches, whether it should be or not.

I think next year he'll get a shot to compete in camp though.

I think he is too strong of a personality to be a backup. Cam is an alpha on the field and he just isn’t good enough to be a starter anymore (aside from our team, but we burned that bridge). Plus he would have to learn a playbook mid season. At this point most teams are rolling with what they have either to the playoffs or for development of the team. Only lower tier FAs will be signed as backups to fill roster spots like a Barkley.

One game. I followed the Patriots last year and was on their message boards monitoring the fans, they were ready for cam to be gone. He was throwing passes into the dirt like never before. 

you cannot present a logical argument to an emotional question

i’m not sure why people would rather finish 5-12 maybe 6-11 instead of 4-13 by signing someone like cam…

look at the remaining schedule, assuming cam and this putrid team can win 2 more, i am being very generous 

draft pick is far more important right now and so is any money to sign cam, or any shitty qb, it is better rolled over

time to stop with the moral victories that have already cost us so much, wish this FO would just face facts for once and realize we have to pay our dues during rebuild time like everyone else and stop trying to find shortcuts, we have given up enough already

i am not saying purposely tank but stop spending so many resources trying to find a short cut fix…roll with the mistakes and reap really the only benefit losing has instead of throwing that away too

This.

Panthers are going nowhere this year.  A potential win or two more with Cam isn't going to turn this team around and make them into playoff contenders.

It's pretty likely that it will only take 9 wins gets the 7-seed. So a few wins might be enough.

Although I think a different QB may have yielded a 9 win season, I just don't see that happening over our remaining schedule... With the options available I don't see us getting 5 more wins this year personally.

    • Almost may as well keep Dalton. Geno won’t be competition. IMO.  He could be but I don’t think they will take that approach. I think more Andy pt 2, big bro, mentor, emergency starter.  I really want to be wrong but we have had no encouraging signs there for two years.    If we are stuck with Bryce again, and it looks like we will be, I would so much more prefer a younger player with a possible future. A guy that hasn’t been great but maybe didn’t have the best situation - and let nature take its course. But I don’t expect anything that I want to happen, as far as it goes. It never does. Not one time yet under Tepper. Starting with the 3-4. 
    • We can go on and on about the players, but I'm more into judging Canales O based on the playcalling and general design. It's still a very mixed bag for me. There are times where I like what I see. The rolling pockets he'll call at times seem to play right into Bryce's best qualities which I like. Him using Jimmy Horn with certain plays is good - although execution by Horn has been frustrating when he missed an opportunity for a big play. if it's 4th down and a pass play, I like the odds of a good play. Giving Coker more snaps over XL recently is a potentially good sign that he's not satisfied with XL's mistakes and is adjusting accordingly. I don't follow why we don't use the tight ends more often in the pass game, but seems that those work better than average. At some point, we were really running the ball well, so that's something, I suppose. On the other hand, while he has shown to adjust, it often is too much of a swing in the other direction. Too often, we do something and it's working - like if running to the perimeter is getting us yards - only for Canales to then go back go stuffing up in the middle and wasting a down. Don't need to harp about the times when he tries to be too cute and it blows up in our faces. Canales has too many bad tendencies that our opponents are picking up on, like how we are quite likely to run on first down. Finally, I sometimes get the impression his play designs are for players that we don't actually have. We just don't really have explosive players on our teams that can make guys miss, and so these route concepts really should reflect the reality that YAC is not really expected and so it needs to be more vertical and/or have elements that help create separation by design. In other words, it still feels like the margin of error for a successful play, even a basic one, is too narrow.
    • Sure want him to play if possible!!!!
