they tried changing what cam does. of course it's going to fail.

 

they tried doing it with jake after he came back from tommy john and made him overthink everything he did.

 

you change the nature of the QB and you risk damaging the product.

 

cam is/was a dynamic, gunslinging, big play guy and they tried making him a game manager.

 

good job rivera and shula.

 

ya done messed up.

A perfect example of this in baseball is Dontrell Willis. He was a dominating pitcher that had a quirky, high leg kick in his delivery. He was a great pitcher but "experts" worried the delivery would hurt his career (even though Vida Blue ha a lengthy career with the same type wind up). They started forcing him to change what made him excel and his career went to poo over night.

I am not surprised by Bell's performance.  To quote the Panthers best coach ever:  He is what he is.  Bell is/was undrafted for a reason.  He is a solid backup....but not an every day RT.  The Panthers should have given Bell help.  The guy had a bad game, but did they not see he was struggling, and at least put Hartsock in to help or something?  How about quick slants to #89?  How about any play that would help Cam release the ball faster? 

 

RT should have been addressed a few years ago when they knew Otah was not going to work out, but they went cheap and decided to spend money in other areas (RB, LB).

Tampa Bay spent high round draft picks on receivers that never seemed to get open or get the ball under Shula.

 

Sound familiar?

 

Seattle DB's complimented us on the route combinations we were running - hard to blame the receivers/gameplan when the offensive line is failing so miserably. 

 

Fact is, the game was won until Rivera chickened out on 4th and 1 and put the game in the hands of our below-average and depleted DB corp.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
