I don't think we'll be back to Cam getting 20 carries a game, but I do think the strategic use of the zone read is going to help slow defenses down and open up the rest of the offense.  He'll also be the redzone threat he's always been.

I have no doubt that Cam can do anything Darnold could do, just better.  God, if he cut down on the turnovers, got us 3 more 3rd down conversions a game, that's MILES better than Sam.

This.

Yessir!  Good post!  And I will say, one of the few bright spots for Brady this season was his creativity with runs in the goal to go situations earlier in the season...  if that stuff was already in the playbook, it makes this offense infinitely more intimidating with Cam running those speed options, shovels, etc.

We shitted on Rhule and Tepper and have to give it up for swallowing it and just owning the egg on face. Does take some big breeches to do that so at least they aren't too prideful and we've seen poo like that before. Panthers just going down with the poo ship. They are at least trying have to give them that too.

Our offense isn’t going to all of a sudden look great, Cam did drag Shula and Rivera kicking and screaming to the super bowl behind a line almost as bad and much much worse weapons around him. But that was pre-headhunted Cam. I’m just happy Cam is back and all is right with the world again. 
 

2021 Cam has a slightly better HC, slightly better OC, slightly worse oline, much better weapons and much worse shoulder.

We have been giving him hell for weeks and calling for his head, all of a sudden we have Cam, and we can compete? Idk, with Brady at OC can you even trust him to use Cam's skillset to the fullest? 

Probably not.  Rhule will probably give Cam the power to change the play if he sees fit.

2015 Panther oline was the best in franchise history ranking around 2, some 3 in the entire league. Remmers was the single weak link and he actually did well until the SB.

Rivera’s oline was up and dow his entire career, often alternating to the 20s and then around average with two outliers in 2015 and the worst with Bell/Chandler coming in at 22-23.

Cam’s worst seasons coicendently aligned with when the oline was a down year.

Cam has never played behind a line this bad, ranked at 29. And that’s worrisome.

Brady vs. Shula and Rivera vs. Rhule at this point and time is meeh.

Cam does have superior weapons no question there. But I always thought he was good enough to not really need a Julio or Smitty etc. So long as he had a line, and 2015 confirmed this.

It’s really hard to think he will have success here but we can only hope.

The 2015 line has nothing on the 08 line and the years around that. Not even close to the best we’ve ever had. And if some metric rates them top 5 in the league that year, that’s highly suspect. They were middle of the pack at best. Our guards were good but Remmers was one of the worst in the league, Oher was subpar and Kalil was a shell of himself.

Joe Brady was already running Sam and Sam ain’t a runner. 

But I suspect the OL will look similar to what Bill did in NE with Cam.  Run and play to the D.   A conservative O with a power run QB mixed in.   And with this D and OL….that’s a smart play IMO.

Yea NE was running Cam just fine. You gotta use his whole skillset and that includes the power run game which has sucked for us anyway so Cam improves that instantly.

Whatever to keep the defense on their heels and give our defense a rest.

2015 is a very overrated group of individuals imo. Especially around here.

      J Person article on Canales and game plan and Rico

      By strato · Posted

      I think you know. Apparently winning is secondary to Bryce’s development. Same as it has been.     In a way it may be good because we didn’t need to make the playoffs and extend this fuging charade about Bryce being the guy. Better in the long run if he gets enough rope to hang himself with.

      I know DC is overthinking this and he really needs to be OC or HC, but how do you call plays with a QB that in all reality, shouldn't be starting. Bryce is wildly inconsistent. He should lean on Rico and the run game, but if he does and wins, it presents a false narrative that Bryce is better than he is and he's potentially stuck with him for another season. If he doesn't, he looks incompetent as a play caller, but it exposes the ugly side of his QB situation that he really does need a QB that can execute at minimum a basic NFL offense with some decent consistency.  I feel a little sorry for the guy because he was anchored with Young this season and even more weight with Dalton getting a 2 year deal. He has very little to work with at the most important position on his team and it's not his doing. The trade deadline was approaching and it was plainly obvious we needed to do something but we didn't for whatever reason.  I don't think he's a complete bonehead and don't know what he's supposed to do. Win games and potentially keep Bryce or lose them by putting the weight on Bryce's shoulders. Either he succeeds or fails.  As a coach I know you're supposed to play to win the game, but do you win now at the ultimate long term detriment to your team and locker room?
