With Cam, we are a contender. Sounds crazy, but this defense is pretty close to elite status. 6th in pts allowed. 1st in passing defense and 12th in rushing defense. 

Cam can give this offense the jump start it needs and he brings a lot of energy to the team. 

Having Cam changes everything. Even if he isn't the Supercam he used to be, he can still play smart football and will the team to victory. Especially with all of the talent he has at his disposal now.  Darnolds biggest downfall was his decision making. Also felt like the game was too fast for him. Cam doesn't have that problem.

I'm almost sure now That Sam can't read defenses... Or can't read it fast enough to put fear in any DC in the league..

Hes literally the slowest decision maker from a starting QB that I have ever seen in my 30+ years watching the NFL.

The deep ball is going to be continuously brought up when it’s not an issue…

For starters, in 2020 Cam’s passer rating was average or above average in 10 of the 12 passing zones. If he can maintain his 2020 numbers while limiting the interceptions then he will be fine.

Secondly, above was Cam’s passer rating with a Patriots wide receiver corp that ranked in the bottom six in separation last year. With Moore, Anderson, Marshall, and Zylstra, along with non wide receiver players in Tremble, McCaffrey, Hubbard, and Abdullah, Cam should be able to find open receivers much easier.

Finally, if Brady continues to scheme up plays like he did yesterday then the deep ball is really only an option just to keep the defense honest. The offense looked very Saintsesque yesterday with the amount of slants and short yardage routes that were drawn up. Cam will thrive in that type of offense and with how well this defense has been playing the Panthers could be a team that no one wants to face in the playoffs.

I agree. I don’t think he can figure the defense out pre-snap. Even though the receiver is the first read based on the play call, he could not read the defense & understand the 2nd read would actually be open at the snap. He locked on the first read & danced around to the second & 3rd read & then panicked.

it always looked a little odd how he made his reads. Nothing calm about him at all & it never looked easy.

True, one thing I noticed with PJ is he was quick to call out what he saw to his O-line, really great communicator. Also he had good footwork and didn't get antsy and bail from a relatively clean pocket. Sam is bad at all these things

I'm telling you, it's the yips. He had this 1+ second pause as he was looking at his first read. He just couldn't pull the trigger. I'm not sure if it was caused by the beating he took behind the Jets OL (and ours) but it's not super unreasonable to think that it might could have been coached out of him. Sucks that it didn't work out, but at least we're moving on.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
