For All That Went Wrong (AGAIN), Cause For Optimism...

Last season against the Seahawks, Cam completed 12 of 29 passes for a 41.4 completion percentage. He threw for 141 yards and had no TDs or Ints, but did have one fumble.

If one of those drives were sustained today that Olsen dropped a pass on, or we sustained any other drive, he would've surpassed his yardage total against them from last season.

He completed at almost 70% today for 125 and a TD.

Their secondary is apparently just that good.

Now the downside... they were missing virtually all of their pass rushers and Browner in the secondary. But, perhaps Seattle's defense should be given some credit.

Still I don't want to hear excuses or moral victories, I'm just saying there's a slight possibility that we didn't play as bad as it actuslly appeared and our offense perhaps isn't destined for failure.

Would coulda shoulda motherfuging blah. Win a fuging game against a winning team. Ugh.

Don't get me wrong, that's still me stance on things. But next week is my last, last, last chance given to Rivera... even though I felt we shouldve fired him midway through last season.

We need a #1 WR. That's our main priority IMO. Rivera is getting better however will he ever be what we need him to be? I'm willing to be JR wants to find out despite our record. (unless it's fuging terrible) I just think Rivera has transformed our defense from a joke to a fuging juggernaut. We are a play making safety and a true #1 receiver away from being truly great. I hate to say it but Rivera needs more pieces to truly be great but you're right he has enough for this team to be competitive. I'm drunk I don't even know if this paragraph makes sense.

Done with moral victories time to win a dam game. This guys didn't build off these type of game last year so I don't expect them to build of this one.

After all the talk this off season about wanting to be more aggressive and stuff I can't believe Rivera called the game he did. Almost impressive how gutless this guy is.

We are still a improved 6-10 team. We took on a team that is playoff caliber and lost. In that regard we are a year or two away from a good team. When you play ST guys the fug up because they are ST guys. I happens and we will have to deal with that.

In today's NFL, more important than a great defense, you need a offense that can get you points when you need it late in the game. The Panthers simply don't have it as it was evident again despite all the problems last season. Simply inexcusable not to upgrade that part of the team

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
