Cam Newton vs Christian Ponder


Zithers

Recommended Posts

If you are actually enjoying the prospect of facing an opponent starting a backup QB, rookie or not, you haven't been a Panthers fan long. Whether it's due to injury or major suckage, the Panthers have never fared well when the opponent starts a new QB against us. Old vet or young undrafted FA, it doesn't fuggin matter.

I don't know if Grossman will be benched, but if he is, and the Vikes go to Ponder, I have to be skeptical of our chances. I am an optimist and believe we can win every game when we take the field, but I'm also scarred by our history against the backup QB.

The only games we can win now are versus rookie QBs? Man has the tune changed around here in the past 2 or 3 weeks. After the Jags game the NFL was officially put on notice and now we look foward to games where rookies are starting for any chnace of a 'W'. I'm certainly glad work has been too busy lately for me to watch the bandwagon fall apart week-by-week.

The reality has finally kicked in where the real problem of the Panther's issues lie. It's kinda funny and sad at the same time watching the highlights and they show Cam and Stevie or one of the other guys, or even Cam himself make spectacular plays. Then they show the highlight where the opposing team have the Panther defense chasing them around the field or the "duh" moment when the defense realize they left a guy wide open for an easy TD. Yeah, it's like watching professional and college football all in one highlight moment.

How are the Bills doing with Dareus and a jouneyman QB?

Buffalo is 31st in total defense, dude. 29th in rushing defense (135.7 yards allowed per game) and 30th in passing defense (284.8 yards per game) with an average of 24.5 points per game allowed. They just have 12 interceptions to bail them out.

    • So we cut him if we don't give him the option?  I'm pretty sure there are players who didn't get the 5th-year option that played year four of their rookie contracts with their draft team.
    • I didn't say do nothing if we don't draft one in the 1st and I"m not counting on a FA to magically become a franchise QB. But signing a FA to be our starter for the year and then re-address the next offseason would be FAR better than reaching on the wrong QB in the 1st this offseason. Feeling we HAVE to find our long term solution just because we need a new QB is how we got into this mess.  We thought Two Gloves would be at worst an average level QB for a few years, that didn't happen, so we went out and traded for Darnold.  That didn't work so we went out and traded for Baker, that didn't work so we went out and traded up to get Bryce. Our last 4 QB moves were all trying to force a solution, none of them worked out, and we're still trying to find Cam's replacement all these years later.  We'd just have been better off spending a year or two building up the rest of the team and going year to year on FA QB's while doing so.  I get it, it will be frustrating to deal with, but then when you find that actual long term solution, they plug right into an already built out roster and you're ready to contend immediately.
    • Great win, should be 3-0 but I'll take 2-1. LaMelo is an MVP caliber player, period.   This is looking like an incredible draft so far. Sion James looking like the exact type of role player that all contending teams need to have, absolute steal in the 2nd. Kalk is a work in progress and I question how much upside he has but he's already been a considerable upgrade at C for us compared to the last several years (outside of healthy Mark which of course was rare).   Really seems like new ownership/front office has change the culture here significantly. Every guy looks bought in now.
