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.

    • Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways. 
    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
