Panther/Steelers game time thread

Most of the people around here who didn't want him are Panthers fans...

I doubt that. I see very few of those posters around here anymore if at all since the draft. And the few left never post when we look good, only when we look bad. Cant call that a "fan". Anybody can log on a computer and claim to be a Panther fan, doesnt make them one. If support is "conditional", its not true support. Everyone I talk to on the street and fans of other teams have offered nothing but praise and optimism about our new QB. You cant be a "fan" of something you're constantly looking to tear down.

You mean like passing to a WR and watch the play develop? You have alot of valid points, but on this you are wrong and nobody likes a smart ass.

I'm a smartass to the core, you'll have to get over it.

He's watching multiple things, not studying WR technique and mechanics.

By your logic great QB's, particularly those with a lot (notice that's two words) attempts should be good WR's by default and that's just ludicrous.

I can't speak to the people who have stopped posting, because I haven't noticed any big names stop posting since the draft.

I support Cam, though I recognize he isn't perfect which gets me some poo... but I am liking the work he's putting in and I hope for the best out of him. I wish we were handling the QB situation a bit differently, but hey, I'm not always right and I hope I'm wrong on starting a rookie on this team.

All that aside, I don't think you need to be a fan of every player on the team in order to be a fan of the team.

Most of the people who didn't want Cam thought we'd be better if we had used the pick on someone else, it wasn't that they hated Cam. Some of us just aren't as enamored with him, though I don't know of any fan who posts on this board that has said they want him to fail.

So since he handed the ball off and saw where the gaps where and knew where pressure was coming he should be able to play RB too?

Your logic is stupid as hell, you know what your spose to do but doing it and watching someone do it is completely different.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
