Can anyone tell me if Cam met with coaches or received a playbook?

what he needs to do is find an old coryell coach who is out of the NFL who can teach him the in and outs while this lockout goes through..if there's anyone out there that is..

Methinks that unless the Panthers have advised against it in favor of someone else or against anyone altogether, he'll still be working with George Whitfield until the stay is either denied or the lockout permanently lifted and business resumes as usual.

Also wouldn't be shocked if he started working out with some of his new teammates. Don't know how likely that is, but I'd applaud the first player to step up and invite Cam for a workout or to throw the ball.

Whitfield tweeted tonight that he's going to start working with Cam in a week.

We should "fire" Chud and Shula so they can work with Cam during the lockout and then hire them back when it's over, LOL

I think Ron Rivera ought to consider hiring this up and coming QB coach to continue refining Cam's skills.

Cam needs to have a healthy, balanced life leading up to Week 1, but when he's working on his football skills he needs to work HARD at it. I want him to know that playbook backwards and forwards. He needs to show solid, measurable progress in all aspects of his game every week. All the little things. The agility drills and strength training too. Everything.

Cam and the coaches need to design the best possible offensive system they can. Maybe for 2011, they can start out with relatively simple plays in OTAs and training camp and then just keeping adding more and more complex plays as Cam proves he can execute them. Cam needs to give his input to the coaches. Cam knows what types of plays are most likely to be successful in his rookie year.

does whitfield just work on mechanics and drops or does he do x's and o's too I wonder..or does his other coach handle the cerebral stuff.

I remember reading somewhere--can't remember so I can't source it... that Whitfield and Cam were focusing on 5 players in film sessions--Roethlisberger, Hasselbeck, Rivers, Brady and Manning. Whitfield and Newton studied each of the 5 to pick up subtle things that they did which made them successful. For Hasselbeck, IIRC, they noticed he would do something with his shoulders to throw defenders off. With Rivers, it was his ability to step up in the pocket and keep his eyes downfield. So as I understand it, Whitfield is a coach for Newton who does a little bit of everything.

I'm not sure to what extent Moon actually works with Newton on mechanics. I always thought Moon was a sort of mentor as opposed to a quote-unquote coach.

Whitfield tweeted tonight that he's going to start working with Cam in a week.

Thanks for confirming that!

Jimmy has spent as much time with this new offense as Cam, and as Moore, and as Pike. ZERO, I don't know how we can be competitive in the division this season no matter how good Newton might be

Sorry to bump this thread, but I just need to say THAT NEW OFFENSE HappyPanther... thanks for the negative swag for my comment about having a new offense. Someone please swag me for the rep I lost months ago lol

Fyi I still stand by the can't be competitive this year statement but Cam looks pretty damn good

      Trade: Panthers are trading veteran QB Andy Dalton to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2027 seventh-round pick, per sources.

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Dalton is ancient by NFL standards. Howell is only 25.  Howell's only year as a starter he put up almost 4k yards, 21/21 with a 43.2 QBR while being sacked 65 times.  This past year and the 3rd starting, which many would consider to be Bryce's best, he barely put up 3k yards 23/11 with a QBR of 47.6 while being sacked 27 times.  Pickett 4 years in the league, with 27 starts, he's amassed 4900 yards, 16/16 with a 53.6 QBR.  Now if Bryce were injured for a season, which QB would you say has more potential to step in and run an offense? I'd say Howell only because in a single season he threw for 1k yards less, more tds and granted more ints in 11 less games as a starter than Pickett's whole career.  Everyone is saying Pickett sucks, Howell sucks, but what I'm seeing is Bryce is right on par with them. Howell is on his 5th team, so is KP, yet Bryce just got a 5th year extension putting up pretty much similar numbers. The bar for QB on this organization is really low.  Did I want Howell? I didn't care. I wanted someone, anyone, who can potentially be better than what we've had the past 3 years or who we signed as a backup. We do not have even a mid tier NFL QB on the roster right now.  If Howell was brought in as camp fodder and didn't make the cut, wouldn't hurt my feelings at all. If we bring in another QB via the draft, I hope it's someone who could have the potential to be a starting QB with some development because that's the whole point.  We can't be afraid to bring in anyone who might have the potential to unseat Bryce or take his job if he's injured. The goal is to get winning seasons and make SB runs with hopefully a victory or 2. Pickett doesn't accomplish that. Dalton hasn't been able to even be in consideration for that role in over 2 years.

      Next 2, Brooklyn and Philly are must wins that we should have no problems winning. Other 2 are Knicks and Celtics in Charlotte, split those. I think that 5 of 6 is very doable. And probably will be necessary for our pursuit of a 6-8 seed. Hawks keep rolling sadly but at least Miami and Orlando finally slipping up after they both had long winning streaks like Atlanta. 76ers obviously in a free fall
