Tom Brady threw 4 picks, less than 400 yards (386), and lost.

Andy Dalton threw 2 picks, similar passing yards to Cam, 0tds, looked smaller than the room, only scored 8 points, and lost.

Drew Brees won, but he threw 2 picks.

Gabbert looked decent for his first start.

Cam Newton had a rough day, was wild passing early on, but still managed to complete 53% of his passes, barely cross 1,000 yards in his first 3 games, and get the win.

In other words, all these QBs are human. Cam was bound to have a bad game sooner or later, and for how bad he was for most of the game, the two he's been mentioned in the same sentence with the most this season (Brady & Dalton) also had off games, so the storyline tomorrow will probably be "off games" for many QBs, instead of just "Cam falls back to earth".

Good day, overall.

You know what's sad? Clausen is 1-0 against arizona... just saying.

What I don't get is why do people keep putting clausen down, he's not even suiting up anymore. Leave the kid alone.

because he is not good.

SO Oracle you are done venting in the game day thread I see.Valid points, all qbs have bad games. We can't expect 300+ passing yards every game.

Which is why I keep asking why they don't move Clausen (practice squad or whatever) and get a player in a position of need that will actually see the field every week.

So what if he doesn't suit up...you don't need to defend "the kid" he is a grown man, a professional. We can make fun of him if we choose to.

I'm putting things in perspective. People were congratulating Clausen last season after that game saying he finally proved he could be the long-term answer for this team. That was his best game of the season and it was worse than Cam's worst game so far. I basically want people to shut up about how Cam played poorly today. Yes, he played poorly for most of the game, but he still ended up having a good game overall with a 4th quarter comeback W.

I'll reserve the same right to defend "the kid" from douche bags that keep bringing up how much he sucks when this was last year and he isn't even relevant anymore. It's pathetic and sad to clown on a guy that's not even seeing the field.

I dont think that Cam had a 'bad' game today, just a realistic one. He made enough plays today when it mattered for us to win. He probably should have thrown an INT or 2, but he didnt.

I think he was having problems with the weather, just like most of the other QBs you mentioned.

Other than you saying that Cam "was bound to have a bad game", I agree with your post.

His throws in the 1st Quarter were terrible. If they were playing the Packers or Bears, he'd have been picked at some point. Just because it was against a lowly Jaguars team that didn't take advantage of his mistakes, doesn't he didn't make them.

He had a bad game, and one that was unexpected, since he didn't even get to 200 yards passing. He was bound to have a bad game sooner or later, but he was sailing the ball off of his back foot way too much. Win = good, but regression = bad. He regressed mechanically.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
