For his part I thought PJ played well. As much as we kicked Arizona's butt people forget they were 8-1 and their defense was only giving up right at 18 points a game. Does PJ need to.protect the ball better? Of course but this was his second start. I wouldnt be surprised if they dont platoon PJ and Cam to save a little Cam like we do with CMC. While Cam isnt a RB he surely takes a bunch of hits. I could see using them both based on who has the hot hand. That might be a way to extend Cam even if it is only 8 games.

I mean, if PJ was going to implode the team in a Sam like manner....well, the opporunity was there.   Yet, the O kept putting Cam on the goaline for the glory.  Even Cam referenced the reality of that.

PJ is a backup QB that has done his job twice for us.  He doesn't suck if you acknowledge the job he actually has.  He is a backup QB.  He looks the part.  

 

Listen, people are gonna dislike PJ walker regardless. Truth is PJ walker helped win this game, but cam is getting the credit. I get it, its cam, the emotion. But there is no use in trying to explain PJ walker to these people.

I like PJ but he is not starting QB worthy, and I personally don't think he'll ever be. 

 

CMC had 10 Catches, nearly every pass was quick and decisive to make it as easy as possible for PJ and it seemed very vanilla, the rushing game really led the way. I would love to believe we can see that on a regular basis but the sooner cam is up to speed the better I believe

Right but against NE, Sam moved the ball a few times before his turnovers, too. But no Cam to fall back on... Same is true in most non NYG weeks (just look at ATL).  The issue has been the red zone and decision making where Darnold has been craaaappp in weeks. 

PJ definitely is more decisive. For better or worse. And AZ was much worse at bottling the run vs NE (maybe this is an OL and Cam difference too.  Maybe they did fear PJ more).

Cam did credit CMAC for getting him to the goal line... He really did. That statement isnt a knock on PJ btw. CMAC is just really good.


Sam didn’t move the ball at all vs NE. 
1, 6, 12, 3, 3, 5.  That is the yardage of every Panther drive in the first half. 

2nd half 

4 , INT, INT, INT.

I still don’t think there’s been a solid argument for Cam not getting 100% of the snaps if he’s physically ready.

Save Joe Brady calling a play that Cam doesn’t have down yet there is no reason why he should come off the field.

I stated in another thread that you either believe that Cam can make all the throws that P.J. made this past week which ultimately lends credence to Cam getting all the snaps or you believe that P.J. will throw a better ball than Cam right now.

They may script 30 or so plays to begin with and then give Cam a list of additional plays that they want him to know for certain situations… it’s not like he needs to learn the whole playbook this week.

Ultimately it should come down to who gives you the best chance to win and Cam can simply do things that P.J. can’t.

      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
