I dunno man, it looked more like the Bucs beat the Bucs and the WTF's just happened to be on the field while it happened.  I don't think it will be "easy", but our defense is on a different level.

Has Rivera ever lost to Bruce Arians in the regular season? I think the playoffs last season was his first time losing to him. 

Rivera is one of the best defensive coaches in the NFL, still. His decision making in personnel is suspect and the offenses are always behind the defense, except in 2015, but his defenses are usually great assuming he has even average personnel.

We've only got 7 games left and are fighting for a playoff spot, unfortunately there is no time for slowly anymore.  Its a mad dash to the finish line from here on out.   

 

I  get that. These games are important. But the way the game yesterday went, I don't think you need to rush Cam. On the other hand, there is a weeks worth of practice incoming. Maybe Cam can get more comfortable with the guys around him.

 

I just think only 1 week of practice is enough for Cam to truly learn the Offense, and gain timing with all the receivers. That's a lot to ask.

Florio said Ron has a whole file of schemes for Cam 

He doesn't have one for PJ.

Use them both.

Wow. But he doesn't know how Brady is going to use Cam. He can make some assumptions but, assume wrong, and you'll pay.

I always said, as did many here, that all Rivera was missing with Cam was an offensive line and a modern offensive coordinator. We still don't have an offensive line but we do have a modern offensive coordinator. I expect Brady and Cam will do well to help each other look good, assuming Cam can get his timing down.

It's going to be a project which is why I'm really hopeful that Cam will be back next year as well.

Cam needs most of the reps to get up to speed and learn as much as possible.  He also needs to start.  Talk about energy.  That will be crazy. 

all that said, yeah, PJ needs to come in and get work between the 20s.   Cam isn’t going to learn enough in a week….and Ron Rivera knows Cam way too well to have him running just simple Cam plays for 4 quarters, no real audible ability, etc. 

I think this should probably be the plan. Ween pj out of the game. Cam will have had only 10 days to learn a new system and timing with receivers against his former hc who is a great defensive coach and knows him best. I think after the bye cam gets full go against atl. I dunno. See how he does with expanded snaps this upcoming game and the week after against Miami. But cam should be the full time starter after the bye week for sure. We are lucky we’re playing not great teams the next two weeks to ease cam back in.
 

that said the defense is gonna wreck wft offense. They are horrible which should help us out a lot.

Nah, I get it, and hes obviously not going to learn the whole playbook in a week, but hes a 10 year vet at this point.  Im sure a lot of the concepts carry over from offense to offense.  They just need to come up with a gameplan that Cam is comfortable with, and let it rip!

Why not make Ron plan for PJ and Cam? At least try to strategize. Damn

From a gamesmanship standpoint you are right but Ron also already knows the obvious after last night's game and will be planning for Cam regardless.

I can see that. The more Cam gets comfortable. The more you put on his plate. 

 

As long as PJ is playing well, the 2 QB situation is fine. Once Cam is up to speed. See ya PJ.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
