Think Cam will keep a level head?

Jason Whitlock sucks.

Cecil Newton has done a fine job keeping Cam level headed thru out all his success,struggles, and constant character attacks from the media. Cecil has raised a fine young man who is both intelligent and very tough. We in Pantherland are very lucky to have him as our QB.

agreed..

I think the pressure is all on the media, not Cam.

The pressure is on the media to treat the Panthers as a relevant NFL franchise. It is something that they haven't had to deal with in 6-7 years.

this too..

Nice. I love Rivera. In a few short months he has become my favorite NFL coach by far. Extremely happy he is the Panthers head coach and the exact type of guy you want coaching a guy like Cam that is going to get the attention Cam will as he progresses in the NFL.

On a side note, Chizik was a perfect coach for him last year also. Chiz is not big for hyperbole and kept the team humble and focused all year. I expect Cam's demeanor to stay the same. Cam is Cam. Extraordinarily confident but with the fear of failure that often drives the great ones.

Just recently found out an acquaintance of mine was close to a Panthers player. Asked them what they thought of Rivera.

Their answer "He's not very nice" :lol:

My reaction: Good. I don't really want a coach who's "nice".

The NCAA camped out up his butt most of last season, he has been hated on by every major, minor and amateur sports hack with access to a keyboard. He won the Heisman and a National Championship. The year before he won a JC National Championship. He has focus, drive and the ability to stay above the fray. "will Cam keep a level head?" A laughable question really.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
