I'm legit shocked there seems to be so much concern about essentially getting out coached and out schemed by Ron Rivera.

That's hilarious. If that happens that'll be the most massive red flag ever.

I mean, we lost to the Giants.  

Losing to Ron wouldn't be as bad as the Giants game.

We lost to the Giants with Sam Darnold at QB. This is a different team now. The team lead by Sam Darnold was depressing, sad, garbage. The team lead by Cam is exciting, positive, fresh, and winners.

With Darnold at QB with a few games under his belt in the system for DCs to get a look at and no CMC, you're losing to virtually everyone - as we saw.

Its now glaringly evident that Sam was the main, gigantic problem on our offense.  Even the o-line looked like a real NFL line once Sam was out, and thats with a bum like Daley playing LT.

well, that was still Matt Rhule's team.  He couldn't coach around Sam Darnold enough to beat a bad Giants team that was basically missing everyone. 

I still don't think losing to Ron would be as bad.  And Ron knows Cam Newton better than any coach in the NFL.   Matt Rhule IMO could put Cam in a bad spot.  You can't put Cam out there for 4 quarters running simple stuff, not having legit audbile ability, etc vs Ron Rivera.

That is why I have been vocal in my hope that PJ Walker still gets to see some playing time, especially these next couple games while Cam is still learning the playbook. The 2 QB system could really work in this offense. Joe Brady's offense has already been called predictable by several defenses the Panthers have faced and this gives defenses something else to prepare for. Especially with Cam in the red zone.

Yep. I honestly didn't expect the OL to look so much better but I'm not at all surprised that the WRs did. The Darnold slurpers always kicked me for calling out Darnold's hospital balls but look at how much better our receivers caught the football when they didn't have their heads on swivels wondering if Darnold was throwing them into another car crash.

This whole "Ron knows Cam" narrative cracks me up. What's he going to do to Cam with all of that 'knowledge?' His defense is on IR, and he's going to have a hard time slowing down Cam now that he's not his coach. He can't bench him for not wearing a tie on the bus, or run him into the ground because his OC is too busy eating paste to draw up a decent game plan. IF, and that's a massive IF, he's able to stifle Cam, we can just swap in PJ and blow his mind. Ron is trash against backup QBs, and with our current setup, basically both Cam and PJ are backups depending on who's in the game. Call it Schrödinger's QB. 

Well, they did manage to beat Tompa Bay last week.  So they can at least put something together.

Ron knows every blitz, coverage, look Cam struggles with.  He knows his tendencies when a play breaks down.  The throws and runs he likes.   I think that is why you have to work PJ in and not have a play and audible handicapped Cam playing all 4 quarters.

    • Yes. Big surprise that the man that couldn't even operate a pizza joint even with his name value in Charlotte can't run an NFL front office. Can't get over his 2023 and 2024 draft classes. Taking XL, Brooks, Wallace takes a special skill of incompetence. Can't get over his plan at MLB. Was apart of the Fitterer team and their comedy of errors. We need fresh ideas in the building next year not only at GM, but in our scouting department. 
    • Alabama yes. In general the ‘SEC success guarantees NFL success’ fallacy was really tough to overcome too. You still have to look at the player and extrapolate what their college performance would look like against a team full of NFL vets.    I think 62 SEC players were drafted in 2023. But there were over 1600 players rostered on SEC a teams. You might even  face an SEC defense that had no one drafted. Like Vanderbilt had no one taken in 2025.  So you just can’t blindly hold that hey he was great in the SEC he is a lock. Damn, especially with a weak armed little guy with bad throwing mechanics,     
    • The question was regarding Bryce only play well when the game doesn't matter and us out of reach. Bryce did not have a great 4th quarter but he had a great 1st half.  Started the game 4 of 5 for 45 yards and a passing TD. He made a lot of great plays in the drive where we scored our 2nd TD which was a short run by Chuba.  He also had a great run to pick up a first when the pocket collapsed around him.  Great pocket awareness and plenty fast and athletic enough. The point being he played very well at a time where the game was not out of reach or garbage time. That was my point and those games listed are the evidence that prove that point.
