So no posts about leadership?

Leaders win. We won. Therefore there is no need to critique him because he isn't showing the lack of leadership/pouting. He did an awesome job today, as we expect him to.

Please leave your racism at the door.

So basically when we lose, we need to talk about intangibles, but when we win, no need to mention that with a QB like Cam. Gotcha.

You guys want it both ways.

LOL?

Cams play inspired the D? Can't tell if serious...

If anything it was the other way around. Also Williams scored enough on his 30 yard run to beat the Redskins until the 4th quarter.

So by your logic Williams inspired the D?

Yes Cam's play inspired the D. The bloody jersey TD sequence is a turning point for this team.

Cam's leadership inspired his teammates. Without it, no way we win today. That TD pass before the half fired the D up for the second half and they actually rallied behind their QB. We should see more of that the rest of the year.

I am not trying to diminish Cam...he played a very good game (100.1 passer rating), but I think you may be giving him too much credit....especially for the D. Like I said, O never put the game away....and TOP put the Panthers D on the field a long time. The D seemed determined to win this game. Your assumption is a big leap.

I give Cam credit for playing like an NFL QB.(even though he continues to throw off his back foot(yes even the AE TD was horrible technique))

He got a boo boo on his finger and fought through it, yes that was awesome.

The defense ruled the day today, however.

Let me preface this by saying that I, as a Native American, am a minority & not white.

KT you are nothing more than a prejudice race-baiter &/or troll.

Because I dont believe our defense is the steel curtain?

Are you going to make a "Greg Hardy must win this week" thread?

How bout a "Charles Johnson must step up for us to beat Peyton" thread?

Those guys played well today and did their job, but winning and losing doesnt hinge at all on what they do. Cam and his leadership have everything to do with us winning or losing. He throws a pick, we lose no matter how many sacks CJ & Hardy get. They had a bunch last week, and we still lost. I think you guys are underestimating how much this team lives and dies with how well Cameron plays. Its a lot easier to be agressive on D when you have a comfortable lead versus playing from behind.

Srsly? The defense was pretty fired up all day, and I daresay looked their worst at the end of the game. Cam showed a lot of grit at the end of the first half, but the coaching was wayyyy more to blame the last weeks than anything else, and while Cam played composed and under control today the defense again contributed largely to this win.

That said, this game was arguably the most complete team effort of thr season and hopefully provides some positive momentum for everyone to spring off of. Cam is doing well with the slight shift in offensive philosophy and will likely have moments to truly and undoubtedly shine by the end of the year.

good point.

i often think these leadership questions arise out of laziness after a loss (you've got to analyze the head of the team for SOMETHING as an explanatory factor, and stuff like leadership is naturally the first thing that comes up.)

i don't expect anyone to come out and point out cam's leadership the way they would question it if he lost, because that's just the nature of win/loss analysis dynamics. i'm more interested in seeing the wins continue. if they do, that's clearly due in part to cam's leadership whether it's dissected and quantified or not.

      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.

      Center/Interior Line at 19

      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.
