At least the first half, but...I would establish the run game before having him try to make the majority of his throws. Give him some swing passes & screen early, then run, then let him work on his decision-making & accuracy. 1 or 2 series means he has to work on his accuracy more during the season. I think he needs more time & timing with his WRs.

I really don't think Pitt will play many of there starters so Cam should get out of this one alive if some of you guys are that worried..

Its not really that I'm worried about their defense in general, backups that is. Its just I honestly have very little faith in our backup O-Line that I don't want some freak accident occurring and him getting blindsided.

But, it is football. He has to play to learn. We need him better and we need him better fast. More reps=more success faster.

Consider the risk versus the reward in this situation. Cam starts the entire first half, and best case scenario, he plays well and get's a little tad more experience than if he had been pulled. Worse case scenario, Cam suffers a season end injury in a meaningless game.

I really think throwing a TD will do wonders for building confidence in his passing.

Agreed. It's gonna become a mind thing for him if it doesn't happen soon. I mean he basically had one to Smitty last week, timing was just a little off but still a great ball.

But just seeing a pass caught in the endzone is going to be big for him. On a related note, I think the two big runs last game are going to give him confidence that he can still do that on this level. Granted, lets not get crazy with it though.

      The #Packers and OT Zach Tom have agreed to terms on a historic four-year, $88 million contract extension with a max value of $92 million

      If he has another good season, we're probably not going to get out of it, as that's just the nature of the beast. The salary cap goes up and salaries go up.    Maybe we won't have to pay him that high, but it will most certainly be in the neighborhood. As his season goes, so will his salary (provided that the two sides won't come together now (if there's anything even going on). https://catcrave.com/panthers-insider-sets-steep-ikem-ekwonu-extension-price-despite-rocky-nfl-ride

      I mean, I think you will really struggle to find many prognosticators that don't have us in the bottom 5. Part of it is that we do have a bottom 5 overall roster(still true) and part of it is that we have more question marks than most rosters. Finally, we have consistently been a bottom 10 team for close to a decade now. Nothing is really a safer offseason projection that putting us there.

      Noah Fant? "Perfect fix?" More like imperfect fix.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Dean Jones, the resident writer for Cat Crave, thinks that we should consider signing Noah Fant. Jones titles his article:  Panthers quietly handed perfect fix for overlooked flaw at just the right time He calls the TE position an "overlooked flaw," and even though I wouldn't necessarily go as far as that, I do believe that the Panthers would instantly buttress the position with a Fant signing. The Panthers just may throw out feelers, and there are connections.   "Fant played for Panthers' tight ends coach Pat McPherson for two seasons. He was also in Seattle with head coach Dave Canales and offensive coordinator Brad Idzik in 2022. This also happens to be a position group that is dangerously short of dependable options."   I guess it comes down to whether or not the Panthers believe that our guys can be the real deal, or at least fill the need that Canales and company have for this offense. I have been skeptical of the lack of TE involvement in the regular flow of the offense since Canales has taken over, but it may be because of the lack of legit and/or experienced personnel. Fant hasn't been spectacular. He is an apt move-TE though. He is a so-so middle of the pack-ish pass blocker. His run blocking grades leave a lot to be desired (save for one year).  I guess that I could see it, but I just don't know if Fant moves the needle enough to spend the extra money on him. For a first rounder, he's been kind of a bust in my opinion. He's still NFL-worthy, and he's still in the prime of his career. But, I think I'm more in disagreement with Jones about thinking Fant is the "perfect fix." He just may be a more expensive, albeit more experienced, option than we already have.   https://catcrave.com/panthers-quietly-handed-perfect-fix-for-overlooked-flaw-just-right-time
