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.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
