I'm glad he's getting his turn. It's time to utilize this guy in any way possible. I'd trust him more in the Wildcat than D-will. At least he can actually throw the ball.

On the throwing play I would have liked if he threw to Olsen instead of Smith. Olsen was coming open on his route. I lol'd at cam just standing there.

not a bad pass... kind of wish we would do it more and let cam actually take a route to the endzone...at least it would be another look defenses have to prep for.

throwing a pass to cam on a go to the endzone would be money. Maybe run it right before a 2 minute warning or something to allow him to catch his wind during the break...yea Cam is the qb, but he is also 6'5 and the best athlete on the field.

Peppers did it. Why not Cam?

The guys on "Bustin Loose" said it best, Why take out the best Wildcat player in the leauge and insert Edwards. That is a stupid play when you have Cam Newton under center!!

Look at the way the Falcons played it. They all came up into the box to play run. Smith was left in single coverage, which he most likely wouldn't have been had Cam been back there. It was a good play call that caught the Falcons relatively off guard. It just didn't work out.

If we keep using Armanti to throw from time to time, teams will have to respect that a throw is a possibility and start double covering a receiver or two, which makes those inside wildcat runs a little more easy to work with.

We really don't want our star QB running up the gut on plays like that, and Armanti gives us a more robust Wildcat look than DeAngelo Williams does.

Agree with Ivan, the only way the wildcat will be effective is if there is at least some threat that the ball could be thrown. When DWill lines up to take the snap, he's gonna run, period. No surprise there.

I'm not saying it should be done much, but it's possible... hell, Cam would be a hell of a receiver to with his athleticism, at least make the D consider it.

Otherwise, if Armanti isn't going to return punts, and is only going to play WR 1 or 2 plays a game, cut him and put someone else in there on Defense that can play more.

conversely, armanti doesn't seem like much of a threat to run out of the wildcat either. I don't know who they think they're fooling.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By amcoolio · Posted

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
