Adjusted Expectations

[L-TownCat]

At 4-5 with a stretch of winnable games ahead of us, we could feasibly have 7-8 wins by the time we hit Buffalo.

Playoffs are a hot topic again now that QB1 is in the building, but I wonder if securing the front end of back-to-back winning seasons might be the best of a bad situation?

Say we win 9 games and miss the playoffs.  That would still be some decent mojo going into 22 with Cam and Co.

A chance for Cam to be the first Carolina QB with B2B winning seasons and a playoff berth?

The story is writing itself.

I mean let’s see him play first a little too soon to think playoffs much less next year imo.

That’s what I’m saying.  Folks talking playoffs, and I think a winning season would be a colossal save.  We were dead on the mat.

Here are some facts that people are forgetting:

1. Cam lost a starting position to the fourth rookie QB taken in the draft.

2. Cam seemed to have throwing issues and was incapable of hitting the deep ball.

3. Cam was not picked up for a half season. 

Cam has 8 games to show the world he can still play.  That is where we are.  Forget 2015---forget 2017, the last good year he had.  Lets pull and pray for Cam to be fully recovered and back to some resemblance of his former self.

I don't expect to win many. Maybe 3 more but being competitive would be nice too.

Between 6-9 wins is still where this team will end up.

Just depends on his arm.  We will find out soon enough.

I'm not concerned with his arm. I'm concerned about the OL and Joe Brady.

I can't tell of the line was that bad or it was sam or a combination of both.

To be honest that was some of the worst poo I have ever seen.

So with Cam things seem a bit more positive.

@AZ L 27-14 

VS WFT W 31-17

@MIA W 24-21

BYE

VS ATL W 20-10

@ BUFF L 35-17

VS TB L 28-16

@ NO W 21-7

@TB W 28-20 TB rest starters

Is about my expectations now.

He played well in the preseason and training camp I a pretty sure. Pats just wanted to see Jones right away because they were impressed enough with him. Also, he had multiple offers that he turned down and was also un vaccinated for a while.

It was both. What’s going to happen the next few weeks is the offense is going to get a little better but still have issues.

All the Darnold people who bitched about the line are going to blame Cam and all the people who blamed Darnold are going to bitch about the line.

If Cam is simply 2020 Cam.  That is a good pairing with this D and team.

Love to see him fully recovered where we will feel good giving him a 2-3 year deal.  Give us time to build the OL and bring in a QB in 2023.
