Panthers Get Unexpected Christmas Gift

I'm sure Luck will be a fine NFL quarterback. The Colts will probably take him with the top pick this spring, and he will be able to learn under Peyton Manning for a couple of years before taking the big stage.

But the Panthers' greatest gift this year was one they didn't even know they wanted. Newton has taken Panther fans on a thrill ride like we had with that three-wheeler--some bumps and bruises along the way, but the promise of years of “did you see that?” moments we'll never forget.

I have an interesting question concerning Cam. How much credit does Derek Anderson get for Cam's development. The only area I really see DA helped Cam in, is pump faking the ball and looking off defenders. In the pre-season, Cam didn't do any of that. Then in the 4th pre-season game, DA came in against the Steelers and played well. Pump faking and hitting a guy deep for a touchdown. So in the Arizona game, I noticeably saw Cam pump fake a couple of times, and I credit DA in that area. How about you guys, did DA help Cam this year?

    • It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly. 
    • If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
    • He had heart surgery a while back he looks Fraile I hope he is okay
