Cam in a conventional offense still sucks

Scored 22 points against the best defense in the league and gave us the lead with less than 3:00 to play. Didn't you guys want him to score points on his last drives.

You guys told me last year that the first three quarters don't really matter, only a QBs last drive. So you should be applauding him right?

Also handed them 6 free points in the 4th quarter that ultimately led to our demise.

He threw for 317 yards, had a pick because Steve slipped...but then proceeded to lead us down the field to take the lead on the road against probably the best D in the league.

Piling on Cam at this point is ridiculous. Has he been great this year? No. But he's certainly not the reason we are losing. We gave up a 2 minute drill to Cutler and Marshall when we basically backed off and let them take what they wanted. Just like we did in the Falcons game. This is a coaching (philosophy) problem...not a Cam Newton prolem.

So if that 6 points led to our demise how do you characterize the 22 points and numerous drives we did have? Or the decision not to kick a 50 yard field goal before halftime? Or how would you characterize the drive that gave us the lead with less than 3:00 to play? Or the 16 points the defense gave up??

Did any of those things have anything to do with our demise?? Or just that pick 6?

For perspective, in Seattle and Chicago, when they give up 16 points they are wondering what went wrong, when we give up 16 points we brag about our defense.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
