Ok so there are plenty of things wrong with this post. first of all, we never had 10 people in the box (outside of goal line situations and such). second of all, if you look at how people will guard us if we have Cam, it will be very similar to how they guard Vick and VY. They will load up the box and make him beat them with his arm. So in all honestly, mobile QB actually increase the number of people in the box (or at least the number of players with specific run stopping duties).

PS. anyone who thinks Cam Newton is accurate, just watch grudens qb camp. none of the throws are actually right on the money. This is with no pressure and no moving targets. in comparison look at Mallett and Locker. Each pass is beautiful. This is just me saying why I think Cam will not be able to take advantage of the single coverage his receivers will see.

Some here fail to realize a stacked box more than likely means Smitty's one on one:cheers2: and better chances for Lafell, Gettis, and Shockey that should make the D back it up a little

All that applied this past year too except for Shockey.

Didn't help much (and I'm not convinced Shockey stays healthy all year).

Hate to say it, but Smitty doesn't strike the same fear in teams that he used to :(

(and no, it can't solely be blamed on the play of the QBs)

The only difference is if you put Cam in Jimmy's situation last year I'd bet everything it'd look a better than the pickles and his bullshit performance. There's two things holding Smith back and that was QB play along with Fox and Co.

I'm not of the belief that Newton starts this season if he's drafted.

That said, pretty much every rookie quarterback faces eight in the box. I doubt Newton will be any exception.

My thought have really grown on Cam. His potential is sky high and sure he can be a flop, but with offensive players around him that the Panthers do - this team will be extremely fun to watch if they draft Cam.

Whether they can win or not is a diff story.

yet more ignorance from the huddle. Cam is not a very accurate QB and is quick to run. There is a very strong possibility that he will be spied in his rookie year if not every year until he proves he can throw the ball at this level.

The OP makes absolutely no sense at all..sorry

      I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
