Aikman didn't start his entire rookie year, but he was 0-11 in the games that he started.

Manning was 3-13 his first year with the Colts.

Mark Sanchez went to the AFCCG.....amazing what a strong D and a 1000 yard rusher can do.

there is a dude on there that keeps calling our offense a "gimmick" and we are providing a "disservice" to Cam because we aren't requiring him to learn how to play QB in the NFL. hahahaha :out:

incorporating elements into an offense that Peyton Manning flat out doesn't have the talent or ability to pull off.....doesn't make it a gimmick offense. The read option is something middle school, high school, and college kids defend every week.......it is a staple of football now. Just b/c the NFL hasn't had the caliber of QBs to pull it off doesn't make it a gimmick.

It is actually a comically simple play.

dalton is a good game manager...kind of like matt ryan.

he'll probably have pretty close to the same level of success.

and the same ceiling.

nothing special about him. just above average and good enough to not lose games that your defense keeps the score down on.

Dalton has 3100 yards and 20 TDs. Green has 1000 yards and 7 TDs. While I realize facts are a confusing thing, to just say all Dalton does is throw it up to Green isn't even close to true.

when going downfield......on big boy throws..... yeah, he pretty much lobs it up for Green to make a play or plays it safe. When you play it safe....you can get yardage and TDs also. I mean, you can checkdown on an underneath route a WR can take it the distance and do a flip over a defender for a TD. That counts. That is a WR doing most of the work on a relatively easy low risk throw. Cam has some of those...but he makes the more difficult ones as well at a much higher rate.

Dalton looked better early than late.

Cam is looking better as the season is going on.

that shouldn't be ignored.

Doesn't matter how he gets them. 2100 yards and 13 TDs say he does more than lob it up to Green.

it doesn't from a team perspective....just matters the team gets production.

you want to compare QB play....then yeah, how he gets them matters.

Sam Bradford has more completions than any rookie in NFL history.....he did that checking down and playing safe. You can get production from an offense with a QB not making big throws.

You watch Cam for 4 weeks straight and Dalton for 4 weeks straight.....and there is no comparing what they do as QBs.......or are asked to do. Dalton doesn't make the throws Cam is asked to make as often......Dalton also flat out can't make some Cam is asked to make. Cam also does the work Dalton's supporting cast provides on his own......he has more 3rd down pickups than any RB in the NFL.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.

      Not unexpected: Panthers raise season ticket prices

      By toldozer · Posted

      Season tickets aren't affordable anymore definitely when they've been so bad for 8 years before last season. When I started going my seats were front row uppers for like 38 bucks. Those seats are 100 dollars now. Teams make their money from tv, if I was an owner my goal would be to break even on tickets and concessions.
