Is Fields really the answer in Chicago? He is not a very good passer and has to run a lot to be productive. We are now seeing the toll running qb's like Fields and Lamar Jackson are taking. No way the Ravens give Lamar a fully guaranteed contract he is demanding. That situation could get interesting.  

Justin Fields just threw the ball 25 times this past week, completed 20 of them for like 250 yards. He ran the ball 6 times. He was super effective. And yeah, one of those runs still went for a 50 yard touchdown run. And he had two completions over 40 yards throwing to guys like Pettis and St Brown. Fields is looking like the answer in Chicago. The only knock on him now is he isn’t finishing games. But look at the talent on that team.

He.never got any better he was essentially the same guy in 2016 as his first day with us.

 

Getting better is a player's responsibility on his own. Before and after the TJ Watt hit he was blowing games late with his inability to pass the ball.

 

You mean you forget like 3 games before the injury he lead us to 21 points in the fourth quarter in a wild comeback against the Eagles? And how he was competing like almost 70% of his passes that year? 
 

Scoring wise we were one of the top offenses in football up until that injury and folks and analysts were talking about Cam being an MVP again.

He never got better? I disagree. As to blowing games late he had 12 4th quarter comebacks in his first five seasons. Rodgers had 5 in his first 5 and has never had more than 10 in a 5 game stretch.... Yet people talk about him being clutch all the time. 🤷

I can't believe a Panthers' fan said Cam never got any better!

That's great but that's unrealistic in this draft and who knows in the next. That you wouldn't want Cam as a QB... 🤷

Cam with a decent offensive coaching staff put up record numbers for a rookie... We held him back.

It's unrealistic in any draft. You're always hoping for an MVP caliber talent but if that's the floor of what you're willing to accept then you're highly likely to be continually disappointed.

The reality is that he'd rather lose games with a Kirk Cousins than win games with a Cam Newton. Some of these old dinosaurs ha e an image of what a QB looks and plays like and they'd rather lose games with that type of QB than win games with a dual threat QB.

I think our big miss in the Rhule era was Justin Fields – He is starting to show all the makings of a franchise guy. With that being said - I think Richardson and Levis are the same kind of gamble, I'm good with either of them.

Justin Fields on this team, albeit without Horn, would be exciting to watch and likely quite competitive on the offensive side of the ball.  But that also assumes Field isn't ruined by Rhule and I'm not sure on that.

You mean how he blew the game 100 percent vs Washington before the injury?

Or the 8 yd pass to DJ after the injury that he sailed over his head vs Detroit.

His passing ability absolutely held us back. Period.

To be fair, he never got many reps in practice. Rhule was too busy with his QB competition and giving PJ most of the leftovers.

They don't want to be fair. They just desperately want themselves to be right and the Panthers(and ripp) to be wrong about Corral.

They have another thing coming.

      Travis Hunter on T-Mac

      By Seltzer · Posted

      T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade.   Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future.  And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.
