This defense has given up 60 points in 2 weeks, yet here is another bitch about Cam thread. What kind bagger vance, green mile, magic ***** bs are you looking for from a guy 2 weeks off his couch. There is a pervasive sickness in this fan base that disguises itself as criticism.

The defense is a gimmick and it’s been exposed. Phil snow is garbage.

I guess my best response to that would be as follows:

With that much experience under his belt, shouldn't we be good at any of it?

The D-line is mostly okay at pass rushing, but the rest of it....Christ.

I could make the argument for this being the worst special teams and offensive line we've ever had.

I agree with regards to our OLine . . . but our ST's are actually in a good place right now.

Our punter is #5 in the NFL for gross average, and middle of the pack for net average.  The mess we had early in the year has weighed down our team numbers, but Edwards is doing well.

Likewise with kicker.  Gonzalez is having a career year with us.  He's at nearly 91% for FG's right now and he's making great progress on his touchbacks.

We gotta look at the big picture as fans and make sure we don't get caught up in how frustrated we are.  For example, across the NFL, an average offense scores 24 points per game.  If our offense was just "average", we'd be 6-5-1 right now.  Likewise, the average NFL defense surrenders 23 points per game.  Our defense is "above average" by that measure.  The twist comes in that any time we give up more points than the average, we lose.

It boils down to our offense being really bad, which is easily what we see on the field.  Defensively, we are just painfully inconsistent.

I will say that I'm just as much on the fence about Cam as I ever was, and that's a shame. I always wanted him to reach the highest of heights and could never have imagined he'd fall to the lowest of lows. He may have grown as a man, which is the priority at the end of the day, but I've yet to see his growth as a player, and unfortunately he may not get another opportunity to live up to that potential. What you see and have seen might be his best.

Rhule's preferred style of offense is probably closer to John Fox's than Sean Payton's.

But then he went and hired a Sean Payton disciple to run his offense, so... 😕

But this year we've seen what Sean Payton's offense looks like without Drew Brees. Even with Sean still calling the plays.

It hasn't been good.

Gonna greatly dissagree with this post. you dont do as well as he did the previous 2 weeks to oh hes done after 1 game. you act like he had a ton of time to throw and he only threw 2 ints. one game tells you a guy is done? we took lik 7-8 weeks to see Darnold wasnt it and he had like 3 games with 2-3 ints and no touchdowns. cam overall 6 toucchdowns 2 ints...and hes finished after 1 bad gm lol

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
