Mallett/Gabbert/Cam/Ponder/Locker

Gabbert did awesome in my opinion.. if it weren't for 3 drops by his WRs then he would have went 12/16 for like 150 yards. I know there were no TDs but 75% comp is really impressive.. along with his decision making.

And a couple drops by the DBs and safeties as well. I thought he just looked okay but Jax looked terrible as a team.

Anyone think Cam is feeling the pressure after the performances that Mallett and Gabbert put on so far (moreso Mallett)?

Dude looked pretty damn good in his debut.

They will all be forever linked but do you think it adds pressure to Cam for his debut?

I see you've moved from direct hostility to passive-aggressive.

I'm excited to see both Cam and Jimmy's progressions, and i think it's totally reasonable to be disappointed in someones performance in preseason if they underperform. But I'm not going to judge the season for either of the guys based on the two or three series' they will get in this game.

Here's a question... will the coaches unleash cam or tell him to play it safe which has been the case in practice. Will he be allowed to make plays with his legs or tell him to focus on making his reads.

they likely allow him to run, but tell him to protect himself on those runs, in other words, dont run like The Golden Calf of Bristol did in last year's preseason game when Denver played the Bengals.

I think that Newton feels plenty of pressure to be the best he can be irrespective of how other guys do. He isn't comparing himself against other rookies. He is trying to be like Manning or Brady, the best in the game.

It will take time. You can't really read much into how Cam does this whole year. After all there are definitely other guys who are better passers than he is. He went number 1 because of his potential not because he was going to come out of the blocks the most polished. His upside is so much larger than most of the other guys, that they will likely not get much better after a season or two while Cam has the athleticism to keep improving.

Its easy to talk about, its easy to sum it up when you just talk about pre-season. We sittin' in here, Cam's supposed to be the franchise player, and we in here talkin' about pre-season. I mean listen, we talkin bout pre-season. Not the regular season, not the regular season, not the regular season. We talkin bout pre-season. Not the regular season, not the, not the, not the regular season that Cam's gonna go out there and die for, and plays every game like it's his last. Not the regular season. We talkin' bout pre-season, man. I mean how silly is that? We talkin' bout pre-season. I know Cam's supposed to be there, I know Cam's supposed to lead by example. I know that, and I'm not shovin' it aside, you know, like it don't mean anything. I know its important, I do. I honestly do. But we talkin' bout pre-season, man. What are we talkin' bout? Pre-season? We talkin' bout pre-season man. We talk... We talkin' bout pre-season. We talkin' bout pre-season. We ain't talkin' bout the regular season, we talkin' bout pre-season, man...

It's funny how Cam spoke of his position in his pecking order in his family. He's the number two kid in a sibling of three. And just like life, the the number two kid is usually expected to learn from the older sibling and excel beyond him/her. When I read so much folks epectations, some very unrealistic, for Cam, I can't help but see the irony in it all.

Anyway, no matter how nervous Cam may be today with all these expectations being fired at him and I'm sure he's placing on himself, I hope he goes out and have fun. I don't expect him to be as accurate as Mallett but I hope the good out weighs the bad and he's able to put some really good numbers up for the Panthers in the TD department even if the team don't win.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
