It may be true that he shotgun may not be best suited for play action, however, you can still run successfully from the shotgun. The spread offense by definition spreads out the field, which can actually aid in running the ball. And after all, you can still fake a handoff from the shotgun.

If they stack the box you pass, if they play a more straight-up defense you can still run. And I have the utmost confidence in the talent we have in the running game.

IMO, you gain more than you loose with the shotgun. Your QB has a little more time to scan the field. You can run or pass out of that formation. I like the flexibility the shotgun brings.

Then again, I could be wrong. Just my thoughts, and GOOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I doubt we go spread very much. Our biggest strength right now is our run game so Im gonna suspect we will use that a whole lot. Besides no matter what any one says Cam Newton is not ready to read NFL defenses on every play.

I am under no illusions when it comes to Cam's ability as a starting QB. It will probably be a long arduous process, unfortunately. However, Cam is comfortable in the shotgun, why not keep his comfort level as high as possible?

You can still run from the shotgun with either your RB or your QB, although I would prefer that my QB not run too often. The spread offense is a passing offense first. With that said, Cam is going to have to throw the ball. We will live or die by how quickly he can adapt to the pro level. He doesn't have to be lights out right off the bat, just good enough to keep the defense honest. Every completion makes the running game that much more efficient.

Sounds and looks good in my head. Whether that translates to the field is another matter. After all, this is a time of hope for the coming season. No reason not to think and hope for the best?!

Just my thoughts, and GOOOO CATS!!!!!! (Carolina Panthers)

After 20 years of marriage, I ain't worried about my swag. One persons' "lame", doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things.

Just my thoughts, and GOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!

Are you one of those 50+ year old guys that paints their face like a cat and goes "raawwwrrrr!!!" on gameday?

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By panthers55 · Posted

      I see progress and improvements. We aren't the same team we were even at the beginning of this year. You want to harp on the past while I am all about the present and future. Do I know thinks are going to be great moving forward? Actually I don't but I prefer to look at the good instead of the bad. Since he is surely going to be the QB the rest of this year barring injury, I am going to root for him to succeed instead of fail. I always said if we are going to finish at 500 for the year I prefer we win at home since I will be there and want to see wins and crying opposing fans like the cowboys. So far mission accomplished. Now we have to show we can win on the road.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
