Rivera did say Newton will start the final preseason game.

"The big thing is to continue to see how he handles everything," Rivera said. "We have to really study him and watch him. We have to make sure he's progressing in the right direction. This is a very sincere thing for us. We don't want to just say, 'Hey, you're the guy,' and walk away from it. At the same time, we want him to understand that he is working towards being our guy."

Otah should be back, too...

still don't understand why we aren't announcing he is starting vs arizona... that quote doesn't really resolve it much for me... are they afraid if they tell him he is that guy he'll stop 'progressing in the right direction'?

I just don't understand why Anderson isn't in the running as a starter for us. Why are they pushing for Cam to be the starter so badly? Ticket sales is the only reason i can figure but we need to look at the big picture. Let Cam sit and learn until he's ready regardless how long it takes.

I think what he is saying is Cam hasn't won the job yet, and they would like to see him win it.

But really, it isn't a competition. They won't play Anderson, and Jimmy's already banged up, so everyone and their brother knows Cam is going to start.

I agree that Rivera is being a bit fuzzy on this, when there probably is no reason for it.

there isn't even a competition anymore, and there hasn't been since before the second preseason game I think.

Cam proved Thursday, that he can run on NFL defenses. Remember that one? "Cam won't be able to run on NFL defenses, he'll get killed."

Like Tuck said, "He's big as poo out there."

the point was more he couldn't run as often in the same way against NFL defenses like he did against Auburn... we won't really know if that is the case until the season is underway. His running ability did impress me though, I just hope he finds a way to get tough yards without throwing his shoulder into defenders.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Wow I can’t believe the panthers tried to trade up, failed, but still got the guy they wanted to trade up for. I wonder if anyone else has ever said that next you’ll tell me they had Hunter and Brazzell graded as first rounders.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option is a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The pattern it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.  Probably should have been drafted day three anyway. The other was way over drafted.

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.
