Updates on Cam

Weren't people excited about Moore last season?

Different circumstance. But with Cam, it's a big breath of fresh air with what he brings to the table.

I'm excited, like others. Speaking for myself, I wasn't excited with Moore.. because he had never played a full season, so I expected the possibility of him getting rattled.

I hope Cam does great things, for himself, for the team, for the franchise and his fans.

He's very young and very talented.

My only wish for him is when things don't go well, and they won't, that he stays the same guy and just learns from it.

I live in Raleigh of course, and the true second coming of QB, say some, Andrew Luck is at Duke this weekend in Durham and I swear to you, nothing would make me happier than winning some how in Arizona and the lowly Duke team to bust Stanford...wishful thinking I know.

Yes R-P, this would be great, but alas old Devil Cat has spent many a sad saturday at old Walllace Wade (during my son's matriculation there) wishing we could beat teams like Richmond....Stanford.....no way. BTW GO Cam !. GO Panthers!

not to this level, and esp. not from the team.

Point being all it takes is a horrible game and the huddle quickly loses their excitement.

i think the overall confidence level going into this year is higher than it was last year. there was so much uncertainty going into the season b/c fox & co being in what everyone knew as their final year, so many of the teams leaders had been let go, and then there was the upcoming lockout. no one knew what was going to happen and players were preoccupied. morale wasn't particularly high, either. it was just a perfect storm for a team that never really set the bar all that high, either. i mean this was the team being run by the coach who wanted to win just enough games to get by and that played not to lose.

i love that the team has high expectations. you don't hear them talking about a lot of wins, but you hear them talk about how they are going to be doing some good things out there and that they feel good about what's happening. they aren't going to be a team that is going to bend over like last year. thes guys aren't cocky or arrogant (which is good b/c they don't have any room or reason to be) but they are confident.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
