While the threat is equally as efficient at keep d-lineman and blitzers at bay, if Cam doesn't scramble some or run an option type play a few times a game we are missing on some serious home run opportunities.

Read option a couple times a game and scrambling when the pass protection breaks down is EXACTLY the amount that I would like to see next season.

Agree that he needs "some" running plays to keep the defense honest and exploit them.

 

But, Chud DID run him way too much early on last year.

 

That's an understatement. Cam leading our team in rushing was absolutely inexcusable.

this.

 

but.....it could be said that the best is yet to come and 2011 and the end of last year was only a glimpse of what is to come.

 

if he hasn't yet actually broken out....hold on to your hats.

 

 

No great player has their best season be their Rookie season.

 

In order to be that MVP type QB, he will be poised to go 4,500, 35td and 600 yds rushing, 5td.

 If Cam has 4500 yards passing, our offense was very 1 dimensional

It sounds great on a stat line but if Cam has that many rushing yards then we aren't doing it right.

 

Especially with all these running backs we currently have..

I will point out one thing though. Luck's running ability is highly underrated. He is very athletic and can run very well when needed. Like an Aaron Rodgers or Steve Young.

 

Luck's running ability is underrated. However, Luck may have similar speed to Newton but Luck cannot and will not shake off defenders like Cam. Cam's elusiveness is what makes him so great as a QB whereas Luck will just run a straight line.

About time someone who actually watch a panther game write an article about Cam. Only one thing I might add is that, Luck might be the pocket passer in that group but not the best passer. Otherwise, great article.

agreed. he's got good speed, but he's also big and strong enough to power through defenders.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      After last season, it was the same question. And the answer most people came to was "If he doesn't make the playoffs, he's gone." He made the playoffs. No matter how it was done, we made it to the playoffs. He's safe. He's going to have a chance to keep working this out, even if next season isn't a playoff one.  I think we'll do better next year than we did this season. There's something being built here.

      The NBA is a very fickle league. Kon is one of the hottest rookies in years and beyond just his play on the court he is a very steady competitor and that translates to the rest of the team. That has been a glaring absence with the culture of this franchise through the bulk of the LaMelo Ball years that's just being completely blunt and realistic. The enigma of LaMelo Ball is he is entering year 6 and still either red hot or ice cold. We need him to find that sweet spot. Logic dictates the Hornets will want to see this core again next year. But the clock is beyond ticking at this point. It's put up or shut up. Especially considering what the Thunder managed to do recently. I'm hopeful they can keep these wins rolling in and get some much needed playoff experience under their belts which will help substantially.

      I think as long as the Panthers are competitive with Canales they should keep him. Pepper needs to repair his/the teams image as a place prized free agents aren't hesitant to consider. Just dont do any crazy poo for a few years.
