Cam isn't having to shoulder the load. This is the most complete team he's ever played for.

 

Said it elsewhere: they're using the same tactic the Steelers used on Roethlisberger at a point when he was getting kind of erratic.

 

They're lowering the amount of passes he's throwing per game, allowing him to improve his consistency with a lighter workload.

 

Once you accomplish that, down the road you can start ramping him up again.

 

It's a good strategy.

I think that the lopsided scores the last couple of weeks has more to with it than anything else. He hasn't had as many pass attempts because they aren't really neccessary when you're winning by 15-30 points. Then there's the fact that the Pick 6 early in the game basically kept the offense off of the field for most of the 1st quarter.

Except you don't start the game winning by that many points.  You have to work your way to it.

Honestly, it should be no shock that the number of attempts would go down a little given that we moved on from an OC with a rep for being too pass happy.

He is at his best when he does the least. When he tries to do too much he gets in trouble. When he just lets the game come to him he is exceptional.

 

Exactly, its like fantasy football is ruining peoples perception of what great QB can be.

 

Last weeks game is a prime example. Yeah, he only threw 1 TD, but he protected the ball and was efficient. He could have had 3 passing TD's with Ginn and Smitty both getting to the 1 yard line. But that still added 10 points and put STL out of reach.

 

Reminiscent of the NO game last year. Share the load, use the players around you. All we really need is protection by the Oline and he/we can be consistent winners. When we play like that we can put 30 on anybody. And with the D becoming what it is, that's very dangerous.

No kidding. But getting an early lead and never really being in danger of losing it will usually lead to a lower number of pass attempts than being in the reverse situation would. Field position played a factor as well. The defense has helped the offense a lot the last couple of weeks, when it comes to starting with good field position.

 

 

25-30 pass attempts a game will be closer to the norm than 17 will be from here on out,imo.......unless the running game shows that it can be more effective and/or the defense/ST are scoring TDs and putting the defense right back on the field(not that that would be a bad thing).

 

Except you don't start the game winning by that many points.  You have to work your way to it.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CRA · Posted

      And I’m fine with that.   But, with an impatient owner….that carries high odds of just him employing a new HC in the not distant future.  The “we will see if the scheme that doesn’t fit our #1 overall pick QB works or not” approach seems like a rocky plan for all.  If I was Canales I would give it shot but demanded I need to be able to sign a legit backup QB in case what I was given just doesn’t work and can transition at the end of the year

      That's really unlikely to happen.  The reality is, they are building for what Canales wants to do.  That's what all coaches do.  And if Bryce can't do that, he's another peg that has to be replaced.

      There is nothing unpopular at all about your opinion. How everything played out on the field backs it up. Bryce starts the season with much fanfare, gives the atl game away, and showed anyone who watched that his arm talent was shockingly bad. bad look, so after a few weeks, the team cooks up a fake injury that nobody saw, presumably to decide what direction to go next. Enter Dalton for one game while Bryce is seen walking comfortably on the sideline, smiling and yucking it up like he’s a 5 year vet.  Dalton performs admirably given the circumstances (please no Dalton ve Bryce retort). The contrast between the two was so strong that it’s still debated today. If Dalton’s performance was similar to what Bryce had done up to that point, I truly believe they would have sat Bryce longer, but it wasn’t.  Dalton relied on vet savvy and a better arm. It’s debatable how many games that gets us. Meaningless to fans, but not to players with serious financial incentives on the line.  What it really was, was a ‘young man (see what I did?)’ playing a grown man’s game, who lacked basic fundamentals and essential physical talent, behind a line that was VERY ill suited for the scheme forced on them, WRs who looked completely confused and unmotivated, with a back stabbing coaching staff in give up mode, GM who I wouldn’t trust to organize my cooking utensil drawer and an owner who meets with coaches every week and tells them which plays he likes and which ones he doesn’t.  Bryce doesn’t get a mulligan, but I’m willing to give him a ‘my bad’ from the team. Last season stunk worse than Bigfoot’s di**. It literally can’t get ANY worse than the unwatchable sh** show that was last year.  I have to see a monumental change in his physical ability and overall confidence. I have to see that he found a laser arm, somewhere, in the offseason, or everything else is irrelevant.
