He's just an extreme competitor and got caught up in the moment. This kid is very competitive...like Smitty. He demands perfection and to win the game. In the words of the wise Herm Edwards....we play to win the game. We play to win the game. Hello?

Do you realize that by not being reckless he will last longer? Key word, RECKLESS! Let's have him go buck wild with the linebackers or secondary of another team. I'm sure they'd love to put him in IR the minute they get the chance. Being cautious isn't a bad thing dumbass..

Also, the pope mobile, what the fug do you think offensive lines are for?

I wasn't aware that blocking was reckless. I understand the fact of the O-Line protecting the QB, but in a real game situation. If Cam was just standing there and wanted to be cautious by not worrying about the block. Yall would have his fuging nuts on a platter, and in a real game situation I'm sure the coaches would too. I'm not saying he should be crazy and just go out hitting people, but if he can throw a block and free the runner, then fug yeah Cam, go make that block. Obviously this is just my opinion, but I for one, have been waiting for a dynamic quarterback to play for the Panthers. Dynamic = short passes, long passes, runs, fakes, play-action, and blocking.

Loved it. Are people forgetting this guy is 6'5 260? hes built like most DE's for god sakes. Clearly he can take a hit, and deliver one as well. Let him do his thing, $hit like this will rally the team behind him and only improve team chemistry.

Since when did QBs have to block to be dynamic?

A defender laying out the opposing QB will rally the team behind him too. Do you support a defender laying the wood to Cam?

Different scenario. The quarterback is inevitably thrown into a leadership role and is often measured by it(among other things). Stop whining about it, Cam is being Cam and if the team didn't know who that is, they do now. If he gets hurt before the season(throwing a block), I'll eat crow. Til then, let the kid play.

I thought it was pretty cool. I don't think it was crazy careless and I KNOW his teammates loved it (at least the offensive teammates).

It is an ultimate way of him showing he has their back. There is a big stigma with being the #1 overall pick in the draft. Sometimes just that fact alone can cause minor riffs with teammates. Putting a block on a guy may be a little reckless, but it goes a long ways with sending a message to his teammates that he has their back and wants to help them do big things (how long was Sutton's run bc of that block?) and earning their respect.

For that reason I think it was a great decision.

      This was the first time I’ve seen him play. Very impressive guy. Does he play well within structure as well? You can’t live on out of structure play in the NFL.

      But they exist in that space precisely because they were the outliers with big arms and other elite traits(especially athletically). I would never look past a sub 6 foot QB with a similar profile to those guys. That's basically what I mean. My list of prospects is never going to auto delete based on stature. It's definitely a reason to take a more in depth look to make sure they are going to translate. Bryce fooled me with his playmaking ability. I thought it was going to translate well, ignored all his throwing mechanics issues and gave more credit to his abilities than the superstar team around him. I am not going to do that again.

      I agree but the 1 and a half guys that have fit is a small hit percentage. I agree the other stuff matters more. If Murray wasn't a dud between the ears it would be 2 and not 1 in that category. It's deffinatly not as high as ability, tools and skills.  Yeah really weak arm is a huge red flag. Paired with poor footwork should be a hell no.
