Based on his recent play and Brady as OC I’m not either. I hope they prove me wrong, but this move screams desperation.  Yes, this team is desperate so it makes sense. I feel bad for Cam because once again he will be a battering ram behind this line. 

I think that we can win a little more consistently with Cam back there vs. Sam...but we do have to stay healthy and the D HAS to play at a top 5 level.

Again, not optimistic, but it does give me a reason to tune in for at least a couple more Sunday's.

Cam made Byrd look incredible frequently lol. Cam had a handful of very bad games, and all of them came after COVID, with half his INTs in 15 games coming in the 2 RIGHT after he came back. He's still dynamic and exciting to watch, and he'll have one of the best supporting casts of his career on O.

No more excuses for Brady and Robby tho.

I don’t like that we’re gonna throw him out there in 3 days. Unfair to cam. Yes he probably would still be better than pj. But he’s not in football shape and going against the #4 ranked defense is a tall task. cam is ultra competitive so he’s gonna play to win. Especially with the added mojo of being back with the panthers. I’d like to see him get another week of practice with the receivers especially Robby to get in rhythm. I suspect DJ and cmc will be good to go with him already tho.

Is Tepper signing off on this because they think Cam can actually help the team or does Tepper just realize he’ll make more money with Cam on the team.

Little of both I'm assuming.

He was likely embarrassed by the multitudes of visiting fans, terrible losses, and flat out bad QB play.

Guessing this makes fans tune in, show up, and buy merchandise....and hopefully wins a few games along the way.

It will be interesting for sure. I watched almost every Patriot game last season and Cam wasn’t very good very often. I still think physically he’s done, but we will see.  I hope people temper their excitement because they may be in for a real letdown.  Some people expect Brady to come up with a playbook to suit Cam, that’s funny, Brady doesn’t have a clue.

Now who was the numb nuts that told me they were tired of people talking about Cam Newton possibilities when I brought it up? I have a feeling he is pretty much physically almost done and can't be what he once was but best choice by far. Maybe he will somehow fall into at least a little of his old form and ride off in the sunset as a Panther one last time being sent off the right way.

Sam is the #2 ranked starting qb for avg pocket time. He makes a not good oline look considerably worse. Cam can actually read defenses and make throws in rhythm. There’s still going to be issues where cam is gonna have to bail them out with his legs. It’s why I don’t think we’ll make the playoffs with him with the schedule we have remaining. But cam is going to stabilize the offense and give us some hope. If cam started day 1 here? We would’ve stacked wins and gotten in. 

Cam's pocket time in 2020 was longer than Darnold's this year, but I agree that he has the tools to hopefully handle that issue better. We'll see. I really hope so.

I do believe that he is all but finished...however there could be a little more juice left...I'm not a huge fan of the move as a "football move", but I totally understand.

Everyone is desperate in this situation.

      Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' preseason loss to Texans

      By Icege · Posted

      I'm happy with TMac, but Tyler Warren was last season's Tyler Linderbaum for me in that he was at a position that wasn't one of the five pillars but he was the best player at his position AND one of the top talents in the draft. I cannot fuging wait for the Panthers to start winning again so that those guys fall to us like they seem to for teams like Baltimore & Philadelphia.

      Panthers' content round up

      By Icege · Posted

      Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!

      Allen was borderline unplayable in College.  He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has.
