Is Rhule gonna get cute

The smart move would be to continue playing it the same until Cam has a grasp of the offense, and timing with the receivers. 

2 more games til the bye, just keep it rolling no reason to overthink things when it's working

If you want to beat Rivera, just make an adjustment in-game.

Boom, River Boat sunk.

don't forget to use tight ends over the middle.

to see if Cams ready.

I believe that is the intention.  Cam needs time to get use to the game.  As you witnessed today they will bring him along in certain situations.

I'd like to see Cam score via receiving a TD lol that would be fuging amazing.

I thought the same thing yesterday.  Would be nice.

While I don't want to see us "force" Cam in ahead of schedule, let's not kid ourselves.  PJ threw for 167 yards yesterday.  It's not like he set the world on fire with his downfield prowess.

Our running backs won that game.  Not PJ Walker.  So if you're saying Cam won't be able to figure out how to hand the ball off, I'm not on board.

Bottom line however is that Rhule won't announce a starter.  He'll make WTF prepare for both.  That's just smart football.

We were up 17 - 0 at the end of the first quarter, the Cardinals didn't score their first touchdown until the 4th quarter the coaches rightfully kept it conservative and PJ executed the game plan. We had similar game plans like this against the Eagles/Giants but the offense was so inept eventually the defense folded.

In the post game presser Rhule said that we had some deep shots dialed up for PJ but due to the flow of the game, we didn’t need to call them. That’s worth noting. The game flow dictated how we used PJ.

[L-TownCat]

In all honesty, not just to brown nose PJ’s fans, PJ could be the cheat sheet Cam needs to speed up the process.  If PJ is hitting the books that hard already, then he can be in Cam’s ear with the verbiage.

Cam knows the plays, just not the specific calls/checks.  PJ can bridge that gap while Cam learns it for himself.

Im not worried about the PT split.  Cam will dominate the snaps from here on.

I see a problem with that, i was actually thinking about this while the game was going on. PJ was moving the ball well until his INT that was tipped, QB by committee is fine until Cam can learn everything in the offense. 

 

if you could tell, they did a masterful job, that really was more common sense than anything, by making a small section of that playbook catered to Cam and his abilities. 

 

Honestly that's what they need to do. Just use common sense and cater to Cam in the playbook. Have a set of plays specifically for him. Ease him in.  I would not be opposed to that at all. 

Agree . I’m hoping the goal is to get Cam up to speed to be full-time starter after the bye when we play the Falcons. This will have Cam oiled up for the toughest stretch of our schedule with 3 division games and the possible playoff berth on the line.

It's not a matter of getting cute, in my opinion.  It's much more a matter of giving yourself the best chance of winning.

If Cam is able to get the offense under his belt, that's a great step.  Another part is to get his timing with his receivers down.  What Cam can do with CMC is pretty magical, they have excellent chemistry.  

I think it's going to depend on how quickly Cam and the WRs get comfortable with each other.

I have no problem is PJ starts, plays, and Cam has more packages.  We NEED to win next week.  Our margin for error this season is so thin.

Anybody else notice that PJ and Cam seemed to be supportive of one another and look like good teammates already? The sentimental in me feels like those two belong together as Cam starting and PJ backing him up for this season and hopefully beyond.

Cam Newton is the starting QB.  
 

period end of sentence.

For better, or worse. I’m riding with CAM to the end! Cam plays with the joy of a child, and the power of a Lion. His gift to this organization is in his presence alone, and it’s contagious AF!

Cam starts next week. Tepper has already overridden Rhule about the QB position.

They handled Tampa today.

Yeah, but Ron has had Bruce's number every time they have ever played. Tampa barely got past them last year in the playoffs as it was just too much Brady experience versus Heineke's playing above his head. The time before that, Rivera's team won 49-7.
