Are we developing Cam?

Our 1st drive was beautiful. We moved the ball down the field perfectly until Olsen fumbled. After that our offense couldn't do nuttin. Tenn started to blitz on 1st down and once they did it successfully, they continued to do it. Our O line did a lousy job of picking it up the REST of the game. I did not see that extra effort on a consistant basis. We continue to make little mistakes throughout the game, my bad throughout our games. Linebacker being slightly out of position, dropped Int's, missed Sacks, missed tackles and l'm not even gonna start on our ST cause they can't be being coached. Are we developing Cam at the expense of the season. I don't believe that Chud can't mix plays up better to produce more points and/or to keep defenses honest. We've got plenty of talent on O. Cam, D. Will, Stew, Smitty, Olsen, Shockey, dang...and we only mustarded 3 points. This year is confusing me.

Throwing Cam in the deep end and not engaging in game manager hand holding can result in games like this.

I'd rather not have another Mark Sanchez/Matt Ryan/Sam Bradford when we could have a true top five quarterback.

totally agreed.

all rookie QBs are being developed to one extent or another.

the guys you listed are guys being developed to be game managers who will ultimately prove to be ineffective in an aggressive pass first league. they will have to rely on an elite defense to keep them in games.

meanwhile, cam is being developed like elite QBs are...to carry the game on their shoulders if necessary. the game managers are in systems that will limit the amount of mistakes they make and may make it easier to come by wons early, but guys like newton and peyton (and yes, i just put them in the same class) are put in situations that they can and will make plenty of mistakes, but in the long run they will benefit from the boldness and confidence in their abilities that comes from years like this.

then there's guys like clausen who are developed into paranoid QBs who don't get a jersey after their 1st season.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
