What do you attribute to Cams shaky start today...

First, lets give him credit, he was poised and made the right throws to lead us down the field to have a game winning drive in the 4th. However, he was shaky a lot of they with overthrowing guys, what do you attribute it to? Was it his ankle and he was timid to step into throws, was it just him being a rookie? FYI, im not worried either I know Chud, Rivera, and Shula will all sit down and disect and correct it.

I think we finally saw him act like a rookie. Why? Don't know, maybe b/c he 'knew' he should win this game & was pressing too hard. I think he will get it corrected...with the help of the coaches. He has shown that he's very coachable.

BTW, I do not like your avatar. Cam is our superstar, not a criminal! Yeah, I drank the kool-aide. :-)

If he has time in the pocket and is throwing it high then it's all mental. I think his mechanics are great unless he his rushed and that tends to put him in the throwing off his back foot mode. Everyone was comparing him to MJ and Tiger Woods all week on the Tele'. I think he was nervous and thinking about things too much. He will adjust.

Playcalling had nothing to do with missing wide open receivers.

Agreed Jack. Not sure how that could be based on playcalling. I don't even agree with the comments some made about his foot. He stepped into his throws & ran with it. I did not see him favor that foot at all.

Cam's foot is why I think he was inaccurate today, but we kept calling pass plays down the field when Cam was struggling instead of more screens or short passes or more runs. So yes play calling had it's share in why Cam struggled.

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
