Cam on last season

[CRA]

Probably all true.  I still think he is done as a starter.  Could be a great short yardage role player.

That...doesn't really sound like somebody who wants to come back here.

Cam played well enough to win in his first start. The only fuged-up situation he inherited at that time was an incompetent coach, an incompetent owner and a roster of players who were ready to end the season in mid-November.

The Washington game was one of the better QB performances we saw last year.  That game still had similar Cam returns juice that AZ had. 

that L was on Phil Snow and Jackson IMO.  Waited way to late to put Gilmore on Scary Terry on passing downs.

Podcast is up.  Should be a fun listen for later

The Fvcked up situation was with Rivera, who used him like a QB/FB

That's what allows him to be great.  Double edged sword.

Yeah which doesn’t exactly jive with the whole “learning the offense” narrative. His best game was his first start, and his performance basically declined more and more as the season went on.

This is true. But he’s also the most important player on the field. Sure let him run. But it needed to be limited. At what time did this FO get a bruising back to help out and preserve their QB instead of being lazy?

The offensive system was so bad, he played worse the more of it he knew.

And it got us to a Super Bowl. Coaches have to use their resources to the maximum at all times in this league. They don't give you points for having a gently used QB. 

Kuechly was also used as a tackling battering ram and it shortened his career, but he was the best in the game while he was there.

It's a tough sport, it grinds up the athletes and we won't cheer if they aren't trying to run through brick walls for their coaches and their teams. As an excellent example I present the 2020 and 2021 Carolina Panthers.

so, cam, how do you feel about this situation down here in carolina?

The Washington game was just a handful of cherry picked plays for Cam.   That basically has a one week shelf life.     Rhule also admitted the plan wasn't to keep him out there that long w/ such a limited set of plays but it was working. 

So his next start he didn't know the offense and their was tape on the hand picked Cam centric plays he could run without knowing the playbook, verbage, etc.  

I mean, Cam is done.  But what he says makes sense.  Rhule used him to stop the boos.  Once the magic was off his return and folks got a lot at what Rhule was going to do with him it was ballgame.
