Should we be worried?

CAPantherFan, you're making us other Ca Panther fans look bad.

Definitely a troll account. Lock this shitfest thread.

You wanna know what went into us losing games last year?  It was throws like that third and long when Cam bought some time rolled out and completely missed Smitty and damn near threw a pick.  

 

Kinda like the play against Seattle when he threw a would be game winning TD into the dirt.  Cam has to get better.  The rest of the team does as well, and Rivera needs to be better.  But when the game is on the line and the QB has to make a throw then Cam needs to be better at making those throws.

 

those 2 situations are completely different.again lets not act as tho every QB misses passes.

Things can be corrected, but there needs to be a sense of urgency and I'm not feeling it.

Eh, I guess we'll see what happens but I'm telling you if we go into week 1 and lay an egg this forum is going to blow up with the 'fire Rivera', 0-16, let's start discussing who to get with the #1 pick next yr blah blah.

You're right, they are different.  But its something to be concerned about.  Yes its preseason but I wanna see Cam make those passes no matter when it is.  And we have see his propencity to do that during the preseason, season, and when the game is on the line.

 

We've also seen him make throws to win games, which is amazing to watch.  But we are looking for improvement...and making those kinds of throws can win games.

I agree that it's too early to draw any definitive conclusions, but I don't agree that it's too early to be concerned, perhaps deeply concerned.  Shula has never led an offense, college or pro, that was anything other than decidedly below average in points and yardage.  You can argue that was a result of relying on strong defenses, but knowledge doesn't easily translate into results in the NFL.  The sidelines of college teams and insurance agencies are littered with guys who could light up an NFL coaches' meeting room with all manner of impressive technical output, but who couldn't take that knowledge and put it to winning purpose on Sundays with the pressure squarely on their shoulders.  I don't think this team can win with the quality of offense Shula has run his entire career---I don't think Cam's good enough to save them, I don't think the defense is good enough to overcome a mediocre offense on more than a few occasions, and I don't think Ron is good enough to avoid a third straight slow start to the season whereby the playoff picture is effectively blacked out by mid-October.

OP says get rid of cam and maybe we shouldn't be worried anymore. OP is a moron.

 

 

 

Well...damn.  Nevermind then.  

[CRA]

I'm not saying get rid of Cam. At least right now. But if he regresses more....than that's another story. Gman said it himself! Start winning or don't let the door hit ya on the way out. We need effing winners on this team. Delhomme isn't nearly as talented as Cam but he was an effing winner (until tommy john). I'm sick of tiptoeing around this. Cam either starts winning THIS YEAR or he'll follow the same path as V.Young, Vick, D. Anderson, McCoy, etc. - off the team and somewhere else as a talented, but can't get it done backup in the NFL.

Cam has more offensive production than anyone in NFL history 2 years in......and you are talking about him regressing?  B/c he is playing boring preseason football?

"Hey guys, let's talk about that throw against Seattle again."

Definitely no agendas here, nope.
