Another Cam thread, how to insure he succeeds.

If Cam is the pick I feel there is only one way to really insure this kid has a legit shot and it's a two year plan.

Year one: do nothing. He sits as the #3 QB and never sees the field. What he needs is a full year in an pro lifting program, and a full year watching the game, seeing the speed of it, being around pros, learning how pros conduct business, how to study game film at the pro level and a full year with Chud learning this offense inside and out.

Year 2: compete for the starting job. If he wins it, fine. If not then get him all the reps you can again in preseason, if we are down by a lot or up by a lot in games. Continue what happened in year one but he is clearly the #2 and you keep letting him compete in practice each week. By doing this you let him EARN the spot which will really re inforce the respect of the Veterans on this team. And hey we all know the kid is going to see game time due to injury or this or that to the #1. Or of #1 Struggles, its Cam time.

I think if we do that this kid will have the best chance to succeed. Cam is way too raw to throw out there year one at all and even his biggest fans can admit that.

I will say I am a Panthers fan, and if Cam becomes a Panther then I support the guy initially, it is only right and fair and I hope the Panthers bring him along the right way so we can all (Including Cam) enjoy his potential success.

just b/c Clausen was utter crap who showed zero progression doesn't mean Cam should sit an entire season....not in today's NFL. End of the season or at the halfway mark it will be time for some on the job training.

There are more young QBs who become successful that make strides as rookies than sit an entire year.

Sit Cam at first....midway into the season or at the end pending we aren't in the playoff race it will be time for him to get into the lineup (that all assumes we have training camp, full season, etc. ). If we have a full year w/ camp....you don't sit overall #1 picks that long.....especially when your QB roster looks like Carolina's will. No point playing less talented or effective players ahead of him.

well no one knows any of that until he gets to camp so.....

People thought Big Ben would need at least a year to develop bc he had never had many snaps under center, he was coming from a weak conference, and never ran an NFL offense. He came out and had one of the best rookie years in history.

Not suggesting Cam would do that, but you don't know how quickly he will transition until he gets there.

let him compete from day 1. if he is the best qb on the roster, play him.

you know he would beat out Clausen or Pike. I think they can bring in a vet and just make the vet the starter......let Cam dictate when the starter loses the job.

Anyone.

As long as he isn't in Carolina I don't care.

you want us to continue to suck b/c of a QB sabataging the offense? We need legit talent and Cam has it. Cam is a winner.....

Clausen doesn't have great talent and isn't a winner......Rivera sitting on his hands is only gonna make Carolina suck and get him back into a DC job.

Sell him to me. (Seriously, please do)

How is he SOOO great?

Sure he won the one year he started for a college team. So what? You see where college winning took Chris Weinke, John Parker Wilson, and Chris Leak.

I agree with you that Clausen sucks, I just don't think Cam is what you hyped him up to be.

Um, his talent and potential is great......denying that is just silly. He is a winner....which is a trait often downplayed when it shouldn't be. He is also a natural leader. I mean Clausen lost in college......and scrambled around with people assuming it was all bad OL play. They also doubted his leadership.........we got that exact QB at the next level we saw in college. The Golden Calf of Bristol was raw and a winner....and came into the NFL as a rookie and did what no one thougth he could do.....play.

Tell me why we should not draft a QB like Newton without talking about the 2012 draft.

Chris Weinke nor Leak had the type skill set and talent/potential that Cam does when looking at the next level.

Cam has a higher ceiling imo than Luck.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
