How long should Cam play on Thursday?

[Kyle82]

I know that preseason game 4 means nothing except for the guys trying to make the team but Cam has lost a sheet load of time because of the lock out....I hope he gets to play at least the entire first half!

[footballisasport]

They need to bench Cam and play Jimmy the four quarters since many of u wanna-be football coaches and experts feel Cam should sit for a year so he can learn. Let Jimmy start and play all four quarters so he can be prepared to start the season.

Cause base on all the harping over every little thing that someone finds wrong with Cam and is using as rational for the Panther's bad play, Cam "simply" isn't ready. He has gone three preseason without tossing a TD...Oh my GOSH...that must be a FIRST in the history of the NFL

[Chaos]

Play Cam based on production, not the amount of time that his ticked off the game clock. If our starting defense cannot get stops, then Cam needs to play at least the entire first half to get enough reps.

Please let us win the coin toss, to at least allow for two first quarter possessions.

A friendly word of advice...

Every one of your posts do not have to deal with the persecution of Cam, a good deal of which is just not grounded in reality.

Very quickly, people learn to ignore everything you say because they know you are overboard on this issue. And I am sure you have other things worthy of discussion.

Just an observation...

I want to see a gameplan centric around getting Cam out of the pocket. He seems much more comfortable rolling out to me than he does as a statue in the pocket. I know we're going to want him to eventually make all of his reads from the pocket, but while he's learning to read defenses I see nothing wrong with keeping teams honest by using the threat of his legs more. I think play calling in the regular season for Cam will look a lot different than it has in the preseason. No reason not to let him use his legs on some DESIGNED plays as opposed to expecting him to improv the entire time.

[Ivan The Awesome]

fug it, let him play the whole game. I mean Jimmy isn't going to get a shot anymore. Regardless of how bad Cam is or how good he is.

Isn't Jimmy hurt? Something about his knee because of that clear "Tom Brady" hit?

Might as well let him play the whole game.

[CatMan72]

I know it sounds crazy, but I would let him play the 1st quarter... he needs all the reps he can get (and so does the rest of our 1st team offense).

[cookinbrak]

end of the 1st half or until he scores a passing TD.. whichever comes 1st

He couldn't throw one against the second worst team in the NFL last week.

[Double34Trouble28]

He couldn't throw one against the second worst team in the NFL last week.

:eek6: Don't remind us.

[ammofan]

The whole 1st half. That could be only 2 series tho if our defense cant stop the Steelers.

And when he does get his thowing TD against a very good team what will be ur new issue with him? It's clear many of u can't seem to stop finding enough things wrong with Cam to criticize him about. Gee I wonder why...

When I read the numbers being put by such media hailed Pro QBs like Matt Ryan 22/42 in one half for a little over 200 yards with one td and int in last nights preseason game against Pittsburgh, it puts into prespective how overly critical many of u are towards Cam, a rookie. So many throws, for so many yards and only one TD in one half inning..Bring on the excuses..

I guess if the Panthers' D-line had gotten back the ball from the opposing team more quickly Cam would have had enough time to get at least one throwing TD just like Matt Ryan did. Especially since he did put a few good throws out there that landed in receivers hands that they drop but it's not their fault.

word of advice when dealing with cam detractors

Bad QB play? Cam's fault. Bad DT play? Cam's fault. WR/TE caught a pass? He did it in spite of Cam.

Also, when dealing with blind homer's who can't take off their rose colored glasses long enough to see that his mechanics and accuracy are shithouse right now, remember...

Cam airs a ball 10 yards past an open WR, Oline's fault. Cam stubbing Smitty's toe on a slant pass, Oline's fault. Cam rolling out the pocket and, with nobody around him, throwing so far off his back foot the ha almost fell down, Oline's fault. Cam runs it in for a TD, what Oline? Nobody blocked for him. Cam throws to a wide open TE, on an all out blitz, who has to make a circus grab to snag it in. What Oline? Cammy Cam blocked all eight guys himself and still got the ball off.

I have no idea why so many people refuse to accept how bad his mechanics and accuracy are right now. Watch the games, its right there on the tape.

The good thing is, all those things can be taught with time. Is Shula gonna teach Jimmy to be taller or have a stronger arm? No. Is he gonna teach Anderson to not take this poo so seriously? No. But, given time he can teach Cammy Cam proper NFL mechanics, and hopefully, the accuracy will come with it.

Serious question, did you join the board just to defend Cam? If so why, since you aren't a Panther fan?
