I think above everything else, we all know that our team, even without 52 and 58, generally has more talent around the board on offense and defense. But I think that if we are going to win this must-win game..the Cats should remember the following:

1. I know he hasn't so far, but Cam is getting more hype in the past 3 days than he has since the season started...he needs to keep his head on straight and keep being the composed QB we know he is. Don't eat up the hype too much!!

2. If we can run the football so Cam doesn't have to throw the ball 50 times, we will WIN...there just isn't any stopping this offense if it's balanced..especially if we can get it in to the fuging endzone.

aaannndd 3. This team is going to have a gameplan. They've seen the film of Cam lighting up 2 teams now, at the end of the day, they are going to focus in on how to keep him from scorching them in any way possible. Also, they are going to find out how to beat this defense

I have a feeling that Gabbert isn't going to come out and try to beat Carolina deep, if they can get MJD some solid carries and get the short passing game going, they might be able to drive down the field rather easily.

I think this game is going to be a shootout..so let's hope Carolina brings a better gun.

You should have told him this before he just discounted every Elite QB in the NFL in a very slick way: "This is no HOF league" ;)

Cam's going to be cool and poised, but I get the sense he's not the type to be afraid to tell Brady...."You're my hero, and I respect you, but I'm going to kick your ass, not kiss it"

Cam doesn't crave the spotlight, but he doesn't shy away from it either. I know it's weird for us to have a leader like this...but yeah, he's going to end up a little on the cocky side. I can already see that in him. Wait until he strings 3 wins back to back.

You think he has haters now? Just wait.

That is a fact. Right now, Cam is getting a lot of praise. After he wins several in a row then eventually has a subpar game (for him), the haters will be out in full force ripping him. Jealousy is pathetic, but jealousy is building in people right now with Cam, just like last year.

Would be awesome if we win man. Can't wait to watch espn after we win a game.

Let me go ahead and recap it for u ahead of time... Cam throws for over 400 again, we get the W, D did well in shutting down MJD... Running game coming along, but still not where we want it.

BUT it will be said that we played a rookie QB, with no real threats other than MJD... And the real test as to whether we're pretenders or contenders will be the following week against Breezy and the Saints. We'll always be the under dog against premier teams and rightfully so.

If you've been a fan for more than 2 seconds than you already know that historically speaking, we exceed expectations by a lot when playing that role.

Either way we're gonna do big things this year! Quote me on it...

      Yeah I was crying about this earlier in the year when we got to 6 wins. Equal number to Wilks.  We are still a QB away.

      The Hall of Fame case for two different NFC South quarterbacks

      By Verge · Posted

      Hey y'all, a topic that has been on my mind has always been the parallels between two of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFC South and ultimately their place in history and how they are viewed moving forward through the rest of NFL history. These two quarterbacks as you might have guessed are their respective franchises greatest signal callers, Cam Newton and Matt Ryan.  Cam Newton (144 Games Started): 269 TDs (1.8 per contest), 123 INTs, Super Bowl Appearance, OROTY, MVP  Matt Ryan (234 Games Starter):  394 TDs (1.6 per contest), 183 INTs, Super Bowl Appearance, OROTY, MVP  Obviously on first glance, these are very similar players with identical top accomplishments. Let's zoom in a little bit on their surrounding talent. C Cam Newton top offensive producers:  Greg Olsen (TE) (9 Seasons) (3 Pro Bowls) Steve Smith Sr. (WR) (3 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl) Matt Ryan top offensive producers:  Julio Jones (WR) (10 Seasons) (7 Pro Bowls)  Roddy White (WR) (8 Seasons) (4 Pro Bowls)  Tony Gonzalez (TE) (5 Seasons) (4 Pro Bowls)  Wow, quite the difference here. Through Cam's career his top option was Greg Olsen, who was one of the best tight ends of his generation and a real difference maker in an offense reliant on their quarterback making plays outside of structure. Newton post Steve Smith Sr was saddled with a revolving door of Chicken McNobodies at the receiver position and the offense had to be funneled through the tight end and running attack as Jericho Cotchery, Corey Brown, Jason Avant, Kelvin Benjamin, etc was not getting the job done. Ryan on the other hand was consistently surrounded with top level offensive weapons, including one of the best receivers and tight ends in the history of the game, thanks in part to an aggressive general manager who wanted to ensure they could maximize the arm talent of their franchise quarterback.  How about protection?  Cam Newton top offensive lineman: Jordan Gross (3 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl)  Ryan Kalil (8 Seasons) (2 Pro Bowls) Andrew Norwell (4 Seasons)  Trai Turner (6 Seasons) (5 Pro Bowls) Matt Ryan top offensive lineman:  Jake Matthews (8 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl)  Alex Mack (5 Seasons) (3 Pro Bowls)  Andy Levitre (3 Seasons)  Todd McLure (5 Seasons)  While Matt Ryan certainly had more consistency and high level talent on his offensive line, one could argue they had similar protection through the bulk of their career. Though one has to acknowledge some of the absolute dog water lineman that were trot out to protect Newton at his tackle spots post Jordan Gross retirement. Byron Bell, Mike Remmers, Matt Kalil, Chris Clark, Amini Silatolu, Nate Chandler, etc were all a collective pile of garbage save for two seasons from Remmers and a few splashes of brilliance from Michael Oher, Daryl Williams, and early career Taylor Moton.  Defense should be fairly simple.  Cam Newton defense average rank:  17th/32 Matt Ryan defense average rank:  18th/32  Honestly I was a bit surprised by this, I had thought Cam consistently had the better defenses, but when you look at the average it's shockingly close. While Newton did have the higher peaks of defense, Atlanta placed higher more consistently and only really faltered towards the end of Ryan's career. Both these players had on and off again defenses to rely on.  So what does all this mean?  1. I am bored at work  2. Cam Newton has the better body of work given the talent around him  While I am not sure either is necessarily a lock to get a gold jacket, it's undeniable that Newton carried his franchise on his back for the better part of his career and changed how quarterbacks are viewed as a whole. Newton became the blueprint for a new breed of signal caller, and Ryan is the standard that is set for pocket quarterbacks in the modern league. Both players deserve their kudos for what they did for their franchises and how they morphed their team's identity, but Newton I think was clearly the better of the NFC South quarterbacks, especially if he had remained as healthy as Ryan did.

      100% agree, trading him would be the best possible scenario. It allows for a clean start at QB and you get something back.
