Saw this tweet earlier.  Wasn't gonna make a thread on it, but this seems like an appropriate place to drop it.

Cam Newton can do better than this and give a team a better chance at winning a game at the end. Neither are going to win you a SB, but why must we keep downgrading the QB position. It hasn't been this bad since going from Beuerlein to Lewis to Weinke. Makes me wish we had a Pickles situation where we go from Delhomme to Pickles to Newton.

Newton to Allen to Bridgewater to Darnold to Baker is half a decade of missing on QBs

There are 3 QBs that would perform like Delhomme and 1 QB that is sitting out there available like Kurt Warner. Trade for them or sign the best of the 4 off the street.

These front offices keep thinking these college game QBs can transition to the NFL with success, and they are dead wrong.

Cam has been washed for several years now dude. It's absolutely brutal but Rivera and Shula ran him into the ground and got his shoulder destroyed

This has been a false ass narrative. There’s a difference between being washed and not knowing the playbook. I watched every game he played in NE and he wasn’t washed. Keep in mind the very next year with Mac Jones 5 of the top 6 pass catchers for Mac wasn’t even  on the roster for Cam. Go back and watch Cam in the preseason with New England, he was throwing darts. Then he came here and didn’t know the plays. But hey it’s nothing new for the black QB.

You are blinded by your bias. He can occasionally throw darts but far too often for an NFL QB he has throws that have nothing on them. His shoulder is completely done. He would be wise to look for a Taysom Hill type role as he can still excel in that role, but his days as a starting QB are 100% done.

he was skipping passes like nobodys business in NE and then last year it was painfully obvious he is shot

Isn't Baker's completion percentage like 55%? Doing math here, but that tells me he's actually playing ok all things considered. He's facing stupid rush and we run the ball with our highly paid RB like 10 times a game.

I'm not as down on Mayfield as others, in general, having watched him play since he entered the league, and with being in this new (unideal) situation, however,  55% is not good. 

Drops haven't helped, route and timing issues and communications (on QB or WR or both) aren't helping, but Mayfield is not throwing accurately, and he needs to fix it. 

He was one of the more accurate passers in college, and opened 2021 with the highest % in the league, so he's more than capable of bringing that back up above 60, and ideally higher. 

But, we don't need to excuse 55% passing. Also, we should not expect to see that number continue. He'll get more accurate as the season goes along, assuming he's not benched or killed behind the OL's poor unit play (but strong individual play).

Does Dan describe the situations on these downs?

If its 3rd and Long it doesnt matter where the RB should be lining up, its going to be a pass period. Now if these "tells" are happening on first and second down consistently, then it should be something addressed. If Baker is in Shotgun on 1st or 2nd Down, what Retard wouldnt know its probably a read option play?

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
