One thing Cam needs to do when he runs

He needs to stop all of that unnecessary juking. There was at least three times where he could have powered his way to moving the chains, but fell short everytime because of that juking, causing him to fall flat on his face inches short of a first down. Cam, when you see the first down marker, run straight ahead and get the first down!

I dissagree. That juking as you call it is him avoiding power shots. I don't want Anyone getting a clean hit on my franchise qb and if that what he's got to do to not get hurt fine. See if you can make someone miss to get the first but dont go payton hillis. The kid already has a sore shoulder don't want that turning into separated. Point is if u can make someone miss and pick up the first on a broken play great. if not live fo fight another day.

I understand that, but if you look at the tape, he jukes a lot of times before the defender is even in his immediate area. Most of the time, he falls flat on his face because of it, probably because his body size can't handle the change of direction. It's just embarrasing to watch at times when he falls flat inches from the first down marker. Look at The Golden Calf of Bristol. Cam should take some notes from him in the running area.

I would agree about 90% of the time; But, in a game where nothing is getting done of offense and you NEED to get first downs just to get anything going, it is disappointing to see him slide down, like, one yard from the first down when if he had just ran straight ahead he would have had it easily. I know he did that at least once that I specifically remember.

Also, someone needs to teach him to slide. He looks like a floundering bull when he goes down intentionally.

i've never once been embarrassed watching our QB try to make plays

i'm more embarrassed by the fact that he has to do damn near everything by himself tho

Are you COMPLETELY insane?

Under no circumstances do i want my Franchise QB "powering" his way to being tackled. That is a great way to see him end up on IR.

      Ultimately it's up to the other safety prospects to clearly outplay Scott. I think when that happens on tape against other teams it'll be addressed. I think none of them have done that definitively and consistently yet.

      Evero?!?! Should he be on the Hot Seat

      By CRA · Posted

      Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.

      I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.
