Recommended Posts

One popular trolling remark was that Newton couldn't make a critical drive in the fourth quarter to ice a win. Busted

Another trolling comment was that the Panthers couldn't win against a team with a winning record. Busted

I winder how long before we hear from the trolls this week.....

I don't think we win that game if it's not a backup out there, but a win is a win and I thought they'd be able to control the game with running the ball.

Defense stepped up big in making a couple of critical plays, offense had a great drive there, and a couple clutch conversions to run out the clock.

Also remember that the Falcons lost to this exact Houston team about 2 weeks ago....So them having Yates and Johnson being out is not a valid argument. They are still a very good team and we beat them.

Johnson had 4 catches for 97 yards. Not the exact same team.

I think the "Cam isn't clutch" thing was way overdone, but there was something to be said for our offense's inability to get it done in the 2nd half most of the season. Even today I felt like we really struggled at times.

The thing is, I always feel like in the 4th quarter Cam has at least one really nice drive. Sometimes the team as a whole can't finish it for one reason or another (missed FGs, penalties on key plays, etc) but overall I do think he has shown enough in 4th quarters, even before this game, not to panic about him "not being clutch."

I agree but people love putting everything on the QB. In a close lose he isn't clutch. In a win, he put the team on his back. I could swear there weren't 10 other guys on the field with him.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
