Justifiably, just on Countdown...

 

  • Cris said he is sick and tired of hearing about Smitty being the ONLY offensive weapon we have to help him.  Said Cam is one of the bright, young QBs and needs help.  He also said it's awfully hard when you have guys like RG3, Kap, and Wilson, and "some cities" won't stand behind their QB or be patient when he isn't being given any help.  I don't know what that last part was supposed to mean and certainly hope that wasn't intimated in some way to Cris, as he knows Cam really well.

 

  • Keyshawn said the same thing about our lack of offensive weapons.  Said we have nothing outside of Smitty to help Cam.  Then said, we have $100 million in RBs that "can't get over the hump," and if you have your QB as your leading rusher considering that investment, you have a problem.  Interestingly enough, he said he didn't know our OC (Chud) had left to coach Cleveland until it was just reported by Lisa Salters (lol), and when they said Mike Shula is now our OC, he basically laughed and said "that isn't helping him."  He said Shula historically hasn't shown he can do anything in this league.  Wow (have to wonder if he heard things from Bucs teammates, considering Key went there a year after Shula was replaced as OC).

 

  • TJ then basically said the same thing, but added that all the other young QBs in the league have some of the best running games behind them, and Cam needs that.

They haven't really used the draft or FA to pick up anyone to grow with Cam Newton. They haven't really invested in the offense at all, except for the two high dollar RB's.  Take a look at what Indy did with Luck, they drafted him and then built an offense around him playmaker wise by using draft picks on players to grow with him. Washington went out and spent a ton of money on WR's to put around RG3. 

 

There's a reason it hasn't been working in Charlotte and it's because they haven't paid enough attention to putting young playmakers around Cam that he and the offense can grow with. There's Smitty and Cam Newton with a side of Greg Olsen and that's pretty much it on offense.

they trashed olsen so fug them

I'm not sure that's how they intended it to come off, but if it was, I think its because of his reputation as being a one-demensional player.

Regardless, they have a point. Look how the Skins, Colts, Hawks, and Niners have surrounded their QBs with talented playmakers, no matter the cost.

Cam has done the most with the least since snap one.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
