Cam lost his monkey....

..looked & did not see this discussed. Cam has got rid of the monkey on his back. Mr.Newton threw a pick late in the game and the Panthers won. The team stuck together regardless of how dejected young Cameron looked. I, for one, am thrilled to have this mark behind him and us. I was so over hearing that stat repeated, fellin like Cam knew it & couldnt get past it. It is just a feeling of relief to know that now Cam knows he can get past picks...

Apologies if there is already a thread...

Just wanted to clarify. Meaning the QB's fault or the team as whole for not finishing games?

The team. No one can expect the QB to play perfect every single game just to win. I've said elsewhere, but Rodgers, Manning, Brees, etc. would all have sub-.500 careers if this same thing occurred to them.

1-18 when your QB has a turnover is just a sad, sad stat.

I don't normally disagree with a lot of your posts but, No.. A "sad stat" is when your team is so undisciplined that some fans and the media won't call out the team but continue to push the lie that their QB not playing a perfect game week in and out, means doom for the team.

If a QB's INTS meant instant team lose then how come the Bengals are in the play-offs despite Andy having more Ints than Cam? How Come the Colts are in the play-offs despite Luck having more ints than Dalton?

Only with Cam is all this BS believed...Gee I wonder why?

You are right. And what is so funny and no one has ever called him on it, is how much Brees loves to pad his stats by trying to get as many passing yardages out of a game. Even when he throws like 5 picks or the teams loses, Brees stat is still up there. Amazing how no one every calls him out on how much he loves to protect his own franchise, himself, like Brett Farve but last season folks were actually accusing Cam of being "me first" when he broke Peyton Manning's passing yard record.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
