I'm worried about Rivera

lol what influence did Cam have on this game other than a positive one? if we had allowed him to throw just one time on that final drive we may not be talking about a loss right now.

 

I am probably crazy for thinking this but for the first time I don't think the sky was falling if Cam were allowed to leave.  He is a freakishly talented athlete but he may be falling in a long line of talented athletes who can't win at the professional level.   I've watched young QB's for the past year lead their teams to win after win...many in comebacks.....but I know for the first 10 games of the season......when wins matter against teams that are competing...Cam consistently doesn't get it done.  There are excuses after all of these games ....like Williams fumble today....but winning is all that matters.

I've always wondered why. Didn't he play wide receiver? I can't understand his opposition to an offensive coach.

I think it stems from his unreasonable fascination to be the "steelers south" and that image of toughness.

Should've stopped after the first seven words of your first sentence.

Just sat in the press conference. He just had a business as usual demeanor. It seemed he brushed the loss aside saying we lost to a good team, no biggie.

It should be up on Panthers.com soon. I hope I am just reading too much into it.

Infuriating.  Guess he doesn't expect to win in the playoffs then.  Of course I can't see the team from today being anywhere close to playoffs if our offensive personnel are going to execute so poorly.

Soooo Cam needs to be literally perfect then?  That's the only way he is going to make up for the poo surrounding him.  Wins and losses are achieved as a team no individual can completely carry a game or team on their back.

I saw Delhomme (who had much much less talent) carry a team because he made others believe that there was no way they were going to lose.  Guys played above themselves in clutch situations.  I have never seen that same attitude from a Cam led team in games that mean something in the first half of season.  I hope he proves me wrong.  I don't think he will with Shula calling the shots.

I think I'm equally as crazy, because I sorta agree with you.

No doubt that played a role, but I'm just saying he threw the coaches under the bus early, but after we started winning games that don't matter other than giving casual fans false hope, everyone got all sunshine and rainbows and forgot about it.

This team knows Ron is a joke of a HC. They even take shots at him now without even knowing it (like how Chud basically ran poo here).

I'm not exaggerating because its our team, but I have never seen a HC as consistently confused and in over his head as Rivera always is.

 

 

I hear ya but JR just doesn't give a dam. Be it a lame duck Fox and to hell with the fans I'm going to gut the team so I can laugh and puff on my fat cigar during a strike that never came or a bargain basement HC hired when it was unlikely to right the ship he's gonna do it his way.

Meantime the Panthers continue to sell out often filling the Stadium with opposing teams fans and we're left to take it hard without lube.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd edited to be more clear where he was ahead of league average, but realize it was easily missed, sorry.  I do hope he falls off a cliff production wise because if he actually continues at this pace it's highly likely the TDs come and then he'll be a real problem. Anyway, to the stats... Shough is substantially better than the average in completion percentage, YPG, and INT% (68% vs 64.4% and 237 vs 215 and 1.7 vs 2.2). He is pretty close to the average in Y/A (7.14 vs 7.1) and rating (91.63 vs 91.8). He is a bit below the average in TDs per game (1.3 vs ~1.5, which is hard to average exactly due to the number of players that are part of this stat), QBR (51.54 vs 54.7) and quite a bit below in TD% (3% vs 4.7%). In advanced stats, he's above the league average in intended air yards/attempt (8.1 v 7.7) and on target % (76.8 vs 74.6), while barely below is in bad throw % (16.1 vs 16.0). This jives with what I've seen - decent young player, playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter, on a bad team. I've always said (and this is true of Bryce too, I even mentioned it this year) that I am less concerned with 30+ yard bombs than consistency at 15+ yards, because you need to be able to threaten past the sticks. Shough is doing that. Vs us in week 15 he had ~one third of his passes 15ish or more yards and he was money on them, and that wasn't really an exception, he has had some nice throws outside of that.  All that said, dude is just super new to the league, and once film gets out, if he does have limitations they will be exploited. No way he can get OROTY. And thanks for the kind words - I am prone to hyperbole at times, but I'm also just impressed by Shough. We'll see if he can keep it up (I hope not, unless the Saints randomly trade him lol)

      To be fair, going from 2 wins, to 5 wins, to 8 wins at least is a pretty big positive no matter how insufferably miserable a select handful in this group want to make everything.

      Yeah Moore is definitely going to be a problem.  I remember he was the favorite for our job at one point in time.
