Bridgwater, Darnold, etc have never had that poor of a performance. Cam was a whole new level of bad.. So much that whatever he did the previous 2 weeks doesn't even matter. His performance lost him all credibility. PJ Walker should be the starter next week and its not even debatable

 

There are so many problem with the knee-jerk-Cam's-done hot takes.

Did you even watch the game?  Did you see our OLine?  Yea, it was the worst it's been all season.

Do you judge a QB by one game, really?  Why not choose Sam's game against the Jets, or Saints and judge him on that?  Or TB5's first game against Atlanta last year?

And again, did you watch the game?  Did you really look at those plays?  Why is it that our receivers are not running open?  It seems that there is always a contested catch or defender closing down.  Our play design is not very good.

It's so disheartening to see our fan base act like a bunch of children when it comes to their "hot takes".  I said it when Cam came in and I'll keep saying it now.  He may succeed or he may fail, but we won't know if Cam is still an NFL QB until the season is over.  We brought a guy off his couch to play the hardest position in football on a team that isn't very good.  Two weeks in we can't suddenly determine his success or failure.

Thanks for demonstrating what actual cognition looks like. This is 1000% factual.

cause the way he played today is the reason he was sitting on the couch and his days of starting is over.

If he wants to stick around the league he is going have to swallow his pride and either be a backup or accept the Taysom Hill Role cause he is not a starting QB anymore.

Give me the name of one qb who could do better than average behind our terrible o-line and working with an OC who should be designing plays in college.

people miss the fact that Cam has been an average QB his entire career, he was average at Florida & Auburn, sure he set records but most were for his legs not his arm. He was often the best athlete on the field which does not make a good QB. Did Carolina get him killed? They sure did but name me a QB with a chip that was better with his legs than his arm, I'll wait....

Cam wasn't average at Auburn.   

Cam had 30 TDs in the air with a 66% pass completion.  Which is what Trevor Lawerence averaged per season.

He averaged around 10 yards per pass on good days, never good with the deep ball and he was definitely a better runner than passer even then. I watched his whole career, he was never good with the deep ball and that showed when he got to the NFL, his game never changed. Stud athlete, poor QB.

Trevor Lawerence averaged 8 yards per pass attempt at Clemson

Cam Newton wasn't average at Auburn.  He was a one man freakshow and owner of one of the greatest football seasons in the history of college football. 

What he did in the pros has nothing to do with how his college career is viewed.  It's like The Golden Calf of Bristol.  The Golden Calf of Bristol is a college GOAT.  A NFL chump.   But the fact he couldn't play in the NFL doesn't mean he wasn't great in college.

And Lawrence is underperforming as alot of us expected. Cam was average to below average @ Florida and had 1 great season @ Auburn after gaining 20lbs of rip & sitting out almost 2 years. He's always been a fantastic athlete that can't be denied, but not a great QB. One good college season does not make for a good QB, he took us to the Superbowl but that was with his legs, not his arm. Von Miller said the entire game plan was to cut Cam's time in the pocket and he wouldn't be able to hit the side of a barn proved to be pretty correct. We hired 2 almost 7 foot tall receivers and Cam still overthrew them. He did alot for the organization, but the Cam worship has to stop, Delhomme also took us to the superbowl with far less athletic ability.

No point even talking about FL with Cam.  He had like 6 pass attempts.   

You called him an average QB at Auburn.  I disagreed.

and Trevor sucking with Urban with the Jags.....doesn't really mean anything when talking about college.  Trevor wasn't an average college QB either.

Jacksonville is much more eager to see Urban gone than we are Rhule.   Urban running the biggest shitshow in the NFL right now.     

Hard to say Trevor is underperforming given what Urban has going on.  And I am a Trevor stan, and I easily predicted his season wouldn't be great.  That was a pretty easy call with Urban. 

On this we agree, these College coaches just aren't cutting it. We signed Rhule for like 60 million, I don't know how much of that is guaranteed so I don't know if we get rid of him anytime soon.

I mean whether he still has good ball left in him or not we are literally in the twilight of his career. If dude is still trucking his way into endzones in his mid to late 30s he's unprecedented, and I think even with good pas protection it's too late for him to become the sort of pocket statue that could play at a high level in his 40s.

I've seen some stuff that suggests Notre Dame is Meyer's dream job but I don't know how true that is.

I hope he goes there.  I like hating on Notre Dame.  That just makes it even more fun too. 

I don’t see Urban making it two actual seasons in the NFL.

      Another Bryce breakdown

      By rayzor · Posted

      then we're stuck.  tbh, at this point i would settle for just making it interesting. forget winning a superbowl for now. just get a team that can win games consistently and hope that it's enough to get to the big dance.  we want superman. we aren't getting superman. we had him and we blew our chance with him.  find a way make it work and hope that we can with this little guy and quit wishing our lives away for the second coming of superman. it just ain't happening.

      Gonna have to strongly disagree with you here. Here are the last 20 Super Bowls - only two of them IMO had QB that didn't play like Superman to get them there/win the game/both, and that was Peyton in 2015 and Ben in 2005. Even then they both had that ability, Peyton was just old and Ben young. That said, there were flashes in the pan like Foles in 2017 and (to a lesser degree) Flacco in 2012. But even counting that, it's 4/20. 20% odds aren't good enough and Bryce was absolutely drafted at #1 to be a guy that elevates an entire team and plays like Superman. If he can't do that then it's a failed pick, full stop. Being a poor man's Teddy doesn't cut it for a #1 overall and that's true for any team, not just Carolina.

      the problem is if we're waiting for Cam v2, we're going to be waiting decades longer.  our best hope is that bryce is better than we all think he is and that canales is able to work some serious magic with him and the scheme to help him live up anywhere close to the potential we thought he had. he's a smart kid. we just have to be able to have a situation that allows him to use his smarts.  the truth with cam was that een he had to have a system tailored for his skillset coming into the league. the difference between him and luck (which was the debate in '09 when we thought luck was an option) was that with luck, he could be placed in any offense and it would work...hence the higher floor he had  than cam. cam, though, needed an offense that was built around him to reach his potential. he could have done alright in a more pro-style offense, but to reach his ceiling (which was seen by a lot of people as being higher than luck). i don't think having to have an offense tailored around what you can and can't do well is a problem for people who can develop around them...after they've truly identified what those can and can't items are. we didn't have that last year. i think we have that this year. we want a guy who can carry a team on his back, but those kind of guys are very rare. we don't need to spend our time trying  find that guy, because even when you have them there's no guarantee that they will be enough.  championships are won, quite often, by teams who learn to compensate for less than the greatest QB play. you have a great defense and can protect the ball while wearing out the other defense and you've got a chance.  we don't need Bryce to be superman (despite where we drafted him and what we paid to get him). we just need him to be able to run (manage) a good offense.
