As much as I hated Cam's performance tonight, I have to give this loss the the O-line for the lack of protection and not controlling the line of scrimmage. And the rest of the blame goes on the whole Defense. Is our Secondary even competent at the NFL level?

Maybe Cam doesn't force those throws if the O-line is doing their job. No excuses though, he should have played better.

I hope this is not the level of play we are going to get out of Cam from time to time.. that will be sad.

Another apologist. We get it. You like your shiny Cam Newton jersey. More power to you. Doesn't change the fact that Cam Newton was an abomination tonight.

And, actually, his protection was okay. Not great by any means, but good enough that he shouldn't have played THAT poorly.

That is so funny. You calling someone an apologist. Did you even comprehend the topic? Moron.

What the f*ck do you want Cam to do? Run all the routes and throw the ball to himself?

The Giants were playing the same style of defense they used to beat Tom Brady in the Super Bowl: rush four elite pass rushers and spread the rest of the defense in coverage.

When our running game disappeared the game was over, and the running game disappeared because we fell behind early, and we fell behind early because the defense played like SH|T. If Cam had gotten the same time to throw that Eli Manning did he could have done something, but Eli wasn't lining up across from Tuck, Umeniyora and JPP.

Well Cam doesn't force those balls if he has a D.....and the O isn't put in desperation mode.

Until Cam gets a D....he will turn it over. Game got to the point where he threw that 2nd pick.....where a punt wasn't a good play. He had to make throws even if it wasn't there

We get it. You're douche who would rather have Clausen at QB because he loses humbly. Being a bitch, doesn't make you a great poster it just makes you a bitch.

Cam held the ball too long. Period. Was the protection perfect? No. But he could have made more plays quicker. He couldn't decide where to go with the ball until the windows grew smaller and it cost him. He doesn't have the clock in his head set correctly. He played like an arrogant athlete instead of a competent and humble NFL QB. He thinks because he has all of this God-given ability that he is an exception to the rule. He isn't. Tonight proved it. He forced throws, did a poor job of anticipating the rush, lost all of his mechanics, and didn't even bother to change a thing. It was an arrogant and stubborn performance by him and he should be embarrassed.

Is this a joke? Cam has to control what he can control from beginning to end. He shouldn't start forcing throws in the 1st quarter (which he did) because "we have no defense". He still has to do his job, and namely not dig a deeper hole for the team, but rather settle the team down and get it done. He has to change his mental approach to being on the field and playing this game. He plays with passion when things are good, and plays like a toddler throwing a tantrum when it's bad. He has to play on an even keel. The offense surrounds him entirely. He has to bear that burden better than he has, or he will continue to fail at winning games.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      It all sounds great. The only unknowns are injuries and how they will need to be addressed. Horn has a history as does the newly added Jaelen Phillips and Cooker has yet to play an entire season as well. And then there are the Ikey's - totally unexpecteded injuries that put a major wrench in your plans. I do think its a great plan though.

      If we pay Bryce like a franchise QB we're completely and utterly buttfuged.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      In my view, the realistic expectation for this team to compete will start 2027.  At that time, I think we could be looking at the following (this is HIGHLY speculative):   QB:  You know, Bryce.  I am not a fan, but they don't ask me.  But there is reason for hope--and here it is.  Bryce will be entering his prime.  Since we are likely to pay him, there will be changes that I include throughout this exercise--I realistically speculate on what they are going to do with Bryce and then I realistically speculate on what means in terms of the cap and other positions. Bryce HAS IMPROVED.  The idea is that if you give him more weapons and protection, that will continue.  His career:   At this rate, if his growth continues, by 2027 we should expect nearly 30 TDs and about 12 Interceptions and a Rating of about 98.  His completion percentage should settle at 65-66% or so.  If that happens, you can win with it. The following stats demonstrate how the Panthers will be able to afford it (and re-sign Ickey) My guess is they will require about $60m per year. This is why rookies who can play are important.  It also helps us see the blueprint.  You may disagree, but this is the cruel realities of the salary cap. Robert Hunt:  Cut post June 1 and save $19m.  Who do you replace him with?  Ickey. Tershawn Wharton:  Cutting him saves nearly $15m.  We should all hope to see Aaron Hall (UDFA) make the roster and play well.  Regardless, this is a position we would likely have to address in the next draft. Trevin Moehrig:  Cutting Moehrig as the starting SS saves this team $16.5m.   Ransom will be on year 3 of a cheap rookie deal and should be more than ready to take the reins.  their styles are similar.  Furthermore, FS Wheatley (R, 4th round) will be starting. Taylor Moton:  So much depends on his knee, but I have an idea that he can play another 3 years.  extending him could save the team about $5m per year.  Cutting him outright would save the team about $21m. In the most drastic situation, we have to cut Moton and the other three players mentioned.   We would need (in all likelihood) a starting DT and RT.  It is possible that the DE would be addressed, but Wharton's production (so far) could be equaled by a rookie.  Look for a cut free agent and a 2027 draft pick here.  If you cut Moton, you save $21m, and that would be the only big hole to fill.  Having Ickey at RG gives you some depth at T, and Ickey could be the guy.  T could be pick in the 2027 draft (first round), fwiw.  It saves you $21m while costing you $5m, for example. We get younger, creating a core of Freeling, Hecht, and the RT first rounder in 2027) along with Ekownu (second contract in the $15m range, and Lewis, whose contract would be in the $16m range if not extended.)  The OL cuts (Hunt, Moton) would save $40m.  The OL would get younger and still solid with veterans at G.   By cutting Wharton (no brainer if his play stays the same) and Moehrig (good player--but we have Ransom on a rookie contract who would not be that much of a drop off--if any) in addition to Hunt and Moton, we would save over $70m in cap room. We would be able to give Bryce bag  and we would have enough to re-sign Ickey (if the knee is not too risky) to a Guard contract (probably at a discount, coming off that injury).  Furthermore, we could add a RT in the draft (or a RG if Ickey moves to RT) and that would be the only large hole to fill. Correct my logic if you see issues-- On defense, in addition to the aforementioned, Scott ($2m contract) is out, replaced by a 4th round rookie contract. CB Jackson's contract ($7.8m) expires and he is (possibly) replaced by a rookie contract.  At Edge, patrick Jones II's $10m contract expires and he is likely a reserve, and his role is absorbed by Phillips, Scourton, Princely, and possible an UDFA like Isaiah Smith or a 2027 draft pick.   These productive developmental players over the past 2 drafts will pay huge dividends.  On paper, I see the team getting much younger and possibly better while cutting nearly $100m and reallocating that money to get more production.
