I don’t know why coaches think timeouts are such gold that they end up outsmarting themselves. Waste 20 seconds and then double down on not calling a timeout (and basically wasting a play) with that run? Call a timeout with over a minute left and it’s 2nd and 2. Instead, 4th and 1 and 30 something seconds.

Yeah. The bigger thing IMO was that it was then 4th down, AND they had to use the TO. Just a big hit overall.

Tired of the constant shitting on Cam about his passing, when he was already good and still improving every year and had just reached the peak of his passing abilities when he got hurt and couldn't do it anymore. Anyone writes their own narrative for someone they don't actually like underneath it all for reasons not related to the field.

I'm never going to write the dude off. I'm going to think/wish/dream that every year is the year he can win a Super Bowl. It's going to be like this for me until he's 45. He improved so much from when he got here. He gave every part of himself to this team and the entire region and I want him to have that moment that the Rams players got today.

Exactly, but everyone is going to believe the pre-draft analysis of Cam, no matter how many times it had been proven wrong, that he can't throw because they don't like Cam in the first place.

With the way the league is setup these days it's hard to see a non-QB ever winning the league MVP again.

Need to make a QB MVP award and an everyone else MVP award. Offensive and Defensive player of the year are fine awards, but just put the QB's by themself. Like what baseball does with the Cy Young. Just create a Joe Montana/Tom Brady award and have it go to the best QB each year.

No he doesn’t. I love cam, but he never put in the real work to become a better passer. He could have done so much to improve his mechanics but never did. Coasted on his running ability until his freak athleticism aged out.

Did you say the same of Delhomme when he selfishly tanked the franchise with multiple INT games for two seasons. Not reading the field with shitty mechanics. 
 

Just because Cam could run doesn’t mean he had to prove to anyone he could play the game like an average athlete. He literally carried the offense to 15-1 with scrubs with multiple freaks throws and clutch moments. And sometimes when your 6-5 240 and a sub 4.5, the smart play is run for 5 yards and a first then to trust Devin Funchess to catch the ball. 
 

If you look at way the Rivera the offense was ran and the statistical breakdowns of our play calls, we actually put Cam in very hard positions to succeed and more often than not he made it work. He was excellent in 2017/2018 before his shoulder got crushed.

Dumb they need to worry about getting an oline. Hell Moore will just keep having mediocre seasons because of it. Hell I don’t how to judge him since he’s never had a qb, I don’t think he’s even close to a number 1 wr imo.

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
