Gonna be interesting to hear this place if he comes out and shets the bed today

Why? He's a 30-something backup for a reason.  I think most of us just wants to see something resembling a functional offense today. That is the insufferable low bar Bryce Young has set for this team.  Crap, a passing first down is a victory!  If Dalton looks bad today, so be it.  If we lose, so be it.  I'll be happen if the offense can sustain a few drives, put some points on the scoreboard and not let the game get out of hand before halftime.  Again, Bryce Young level expectations for our Panthers.

A lot of guys Dalton's age in this league are relegated to training younger QBs, or holding the spot for the younger guy to officially take over like what's going on in New England.  However when Dalton found out he was now QB 1, he was fired up!!!  He was looking for a chance to be "the guy".  His whole thing was looking for an opportunity to lead a team to a championship, at his age.  This is what we got.  This isn't a Vinny Testaverde, or a Gus Frerotte, this is a guy who believes he can right the ship for a run.

I'm not saying we will do that, but this is the mindset of Andy Dalton.  Its fire, and I believe this team will play with all their heart this game.  We are going to see some inspired ball today.

I think Andy is looking around at guys busting their asses and Bryce is doing nothing to help them, he is fact impeding them. I think Andy wants to rescue some of his teammates and plus smell the roses one more time. 
You work your whole life to be something and they take it away, it sucks. He knows he is a better QB but has had to sublimate his ego for Bryce’s benefit. And has been exemplary. 

Andy is going to enjoy this day.

We don't want Andy throwing the ball a lot. He's the type where he looks good and everything is going fine and then he throws a brainless pick. We need a little razzle dazzle and run the ball. The defense has got to keep the score lowish because if we have to throw a lot to try and catch up we're cooked.

 that should be the Bryce game plan too? But that fails quick when the defense can’t stop a Jv team and false starts and 3rd and 2

He is a solid NFL backup QB and that will be an upgrade.  We will not feel as if the game is out of reach 23.4 seconds after the opening kickoff--

I think Andy gets a ton of criticism for no real particular reason. He was a major driver behind the complete and utter revolution of the Cincinnati Bengals from joke franchise to perennial playoff contender in one of the hardest divisions of football for years. He may not have gotten them to the Super Bowl like Burrow, or the AFC Championship, but he laid the framework for that organization to be where they are today. 
 

I don’t know that he will ever get the proper credit for all of that. I understand the criticism and how he was sort of a regular season king, but man did he ball up there. 
 

Looking forward to today.

      I encourage you to go back and watch his college play. Notice how he immediately backpedals to 10 yards behind the LOS on almost every snap. You can't do that in the NFL. Your OTs have no chance of keeping those freak show edge rushers off of you. You can't create a pocket that deep. Bryce can chuck it when he has an airport runway in front of him to step up into. There's a reason why "ease of creating velocity" is such a talking point evaluating QBs. It's not how hard or how far you can throw the ball given a perfect situation. It's how hard and how far you can throw the ball in a typical NFL game situation and that's where a lot of my concerns with Bryce were going into the draft. There were way too many plays in his college tape that if you were watching that purely in terms of translating it to the NFL it just didn't work.

      cam Newton makes his return to Madden football

      Yeah, like I said I get it. From a revenue perspective I'm not a good customer for them. They've probably intentionally tanked offline franchise mode to try to get people online. Again, not a terrible strategy from a pure business perspective. I can't really be mad at them for doing what's good for business but yeah, from my perspective it still sucks.

      Ok let me be more specific. Smith was a stud before Newton got here do you not agree? Yes, LaFell improved under Cam but then had his best years after leaving the Panthers with Cam as the QB and going to NE. So he improved playing with someone else. Olsen was in Chicage the year before Cam arrived and statistically had the same numbers his first year with Cam.  Hope that's clearer for you.
