Just play Barkley, PJ, or one of your other Temple/Baylor rejects. Cam doesn't deserve this.

The offensive line is horrendous, yes, but Cam isn’t that good anymore either. Let’s be real. 

I agree.  His short game is ok, and he can still run the ball.  But his arm is every bit as weak as it was when we cut him.  He just can't consistently throw it more than 15 or more yards with accuracy and hasn't been able to for a while.

He would be good enough with better coaching and without the worst playbook in franchise history. 

This.  He's still a playoff-caliber, winning QB.  If the right things are in place, I still believe he is a Top 15 QB in the league.  But, as you said, this is a combination of horrible coaching, a pop warner playbook, and the worst OL we have ever had.

Every QB we've had under this staff has regressed to career worst days outside of PJ, and thats because he has only had 2 career starts.  It's clearly a problem that has nothing to do with the individual QBs themselves.

Instead people are going to judge him off trying to ward off a defender while trying to bomb it to Moore and it was short.  The "His arm is too weak" line will keep circulating.

I’m closer to a Cam homer than a Cam hater by far….but the excuses defending him are hilarious. His numbers have been atrocious the last 3 games. It’s always someone else’s fault lmao. If Darnold put up these stats the excuses wouldn’t be there. (Not saying Darnold is better)

"I'm not a hater but...(insert worthless tribble)" has been a line used for the last 10 years.

He's lost 12 straight starts as the QB for the Panthers.

He's washed. I'm sorry you can't see that. He's as much of a problem as any other player on the Offence.

Top 15 QB? I love Cam as much as the next guy but that's just delusional. Unfortunately Cam is a shell of his former self. His deep ball is completely non-existent and allows defenses to crowd the box. He's still decent at grinding yards out on the ground but as a passer he's terrible. I understand our offensive line is dog poo but even still his numbers are putrid.

Cam isn't what he used to be but he's still the most talented QB we have on the roster.  Darnold did put up these stats and worse...  he played an entire game without gaining a single first down.  

And as many have said, now that we've seen this offense with 3 different guys who have played in other systems and in other organizations, and all 3 have regressed, it's clear the excuses are valid.  No QB can excel under this staff with this line.  Period.

I couldn’t agree more

Go back and watch his games against Houston and Seattle last year.  He still has the arm.  The defenses are crowding the box, not because of his arm, but because they know we don't have time to throw.  They were doing the same thing against Darnold.

I know Cam isn't what he was since the injury, but he is still plenty good enough.  Counting his ability as a runner, and with these receivers, if he had any semblance of an OL and good coaches, then yes, I absolutely stand by my assertion that he could still be a Top 15 QB.  It wouldn't be hard.  The coaches and OL are just that bad.

Nope.  I don't agree.

We've seen the same poo happen with 3 different QBs in this system with this staff now.  It makes all of them look worse.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
