Don’t wanna bother going too far down this road, but the objective of a QB is to score points and lead his team.  Why the fug does it matter if he’s scoring TDs on the ground or not?  That’s what made him such a special player.  Sorry the former MVP doesn’t fit into your archetype of what a quarterback should be

Cam was literally just qb sneaking the ball at the goal line. Most teams would just let the RB do it but instead cam did it. Still he wasn’t a TD machine. He only threw for over 25 TDs once. 
 

heres something else to think about, how many times would cam run for 4 yards instead of passing to a wide open receiver and getting the first down?

I mean to an extent he is being taken out of context IMO.   It’s a one sentence soundbite. 

QB is the biggest difference in terms of which rebuilds are the furthest ahead. Wentz just arrived in Washington. 

NY, Dal, Philly all have established QB rooms. Even the backup in Dallas has been in the system for years.

You have to be kidding me.  Yeah, most teams would just let the RB run it.  Just like we try to run with our backs nowadays in the red zone and are constantly stuffed?  Like that, right?  We ran with Cam because it fuging worked, dude.  He made it happen.  You can’t be this delusional.  
 

Here’s something else to think about, how many MVP’s from other teams have been talked about by their fans as if they’re mediocre at best at their position?

first of all, he's right. maybe this reverberates through the locker room and screws up the team dynamic but he's 100% correct.

He's wrong.  The Cowboys are winning with Cooper Rush - their backup.  The Giants are winning with Daniel Jones, who was very close to being shoved out.  The Eagles are winning with Jalen Hurts who couldn't do anything consistently well early in his career.

Rivera should have said "We haven't done a good job developing and protecting our QB and the other teams have".  But that would be taking responsibility for the situation.  Can't have that.

Calculated Risk-Taker Ronald clarified that he was talking about the QB's familiarity within the offense, i.e. Wentz has been with Washington for 1 year whereas the other QBs have had much longer to learn and operate within their respective offenses.

Quote

Tuesday, Rivera clarified that his comments about other NFC East teams were regarding the QB's familiarity with their systems while Wentz is in his first year with the Commanders.

"My whole point being is when you have a quarterback that's been around and been around your building for a specific period of time, the players know the guy," Rivera said, per The Post. "They develop this cohesiveness and this bond. We have a quarterback, he's been here for his first season, and as he continues to work and develop with our guys and assimilate to what we do, I think we will be progressively better. I thought he played very well this past week. He had some really good moments. He had a couple that I know he wished he had back, but the guy played, for the most part, a pretty doggone good football game."

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By Basbear · Posted

      LOL, I tried to do this also....But I never found enough to make a guess.

      Who is/will be an 'All time great' thats on our roster right now?

      By Basbear · Posted

      gosh no one cares about the OGs...   Id list hunt here too, if not for missing 95% of the season.   Best I can say, Tri Turner was the best OG in panthers history if you factor in career length. Wharton was super solid, but never elite. Norwell while having a 1st all-pro, only played 2.5 starting years.    If lewis stays on the panthers and keeps his play lvl at 2025, his path is right there and easy. In 2028 he could be the best OG in panthers history.    Dang if panthers or NFL don't have long great careers.....its sooo rare.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By Basbear · Posted

      All true, Stafford and Mccvay were both talking about "retiring" during those future picks too, I member. In my computer when you make future trade, I feel you have to factor in the worst case or close to it from your side. The big issue for the panthers, maybe even now is that they have not proven they can draft well enough to trade. I know that Dan and company have not traded future picks and they seem to always want 7-8 picks overall. They like to trade 3 picks for 3 picks or 2 for 2.   It would have been great to flip BB for that haul and use those Rams picks instead of the first overall pick...... Verse wise, Jesus what a beast....... Garrett is the top dawg and all, but man this is rough for me. I also noticed this about the panthers they are pedo bears, they like dem young. So a 25 year old verse would have gotten gigged with the panthers. Even with NIL and 6th year, and even coofus fallback, panthers prefer younger players. Monroe Freeling (Round 1, Pick 19 | OT, Georgia): 21 years old Lee Hunter (Round 2, Pick 49 | DT, Texas Tech): 22 years old (estimated) Chris Brazzell II (Round 3, Pick 83 | WR, Tennessee): 22 years old Will Lee III (Round 4, Pick 129 | CB, Texas A&M): 21-22 years old (estimated) Sam Hecht (Round 5, Pick 144 | C, Kansas State): 21-22 years old (estimated) Zakee Wheatley (Round 5, Pick 151 | S, Penn State): 22 years old (estimated) Jackson Kuwatch (Round 7, Pick 227 | LB, Miami OH): 22-23 years old   Tetairoa McMillan, WR (Arizona) — Age: 22 Nic Scourton, EDGE (Texas A&M) — Age: 20 Princely Umanmielen, EDGE (Ole Miss) — Age: 21 Trevor Etienne, RB (Georgia) — Age: 20 Lathan Ransom, SAF (Ohio State) — Age: 23 Cam Jackson, DT (FL)- age 22 Mitchell Evans, TE (ND)- age 22 Horn-22   Fitterererere just turned out to be a awful hire, too green, too willing to please, no sense of what talent looks like on teams other than Seahawks, too much pressure, didnt have the correct network of coaches and FO office people. Kick was herniay leftd him with a bare bones talent to start with and besides taking a bottom level team and improving it, he made it even worse AND trading prime draft picks to prolong the timeline to fix. People forget Dan didn't have the 1st overall pick and 39th overall(that dude looking good for bears) to repair this team. Dan could have traded that 1st overall for a proven 1k WR, 9th overall, future 1st and future 2nd......
