Continuity for Cam?

Of Cam's 24 td passes last season, only 9 of those were caught by players still on the roster.

6 of those were to TE Greg Olsen

0 of those were to WRs currently on the roster.

Cam threw for 3,379 yards last season only 1,406 of those yards came from players still on the roster.

816 of those yards came from TE Greg Olsen.

0 of those yards came from a WR currently on the roster.

Let's all agree that Gettleman will bring in players for Cam, at this point he doesn't have a choice, but still...

Cam Newton's production in 2014 will have to come from unfamiliar players, mostly from players that have never caught a pass in the NFL. So much for continuity for the young QB.

When Cam was a rookie, he had no continuity at all and still managed to throw for a respectable number of yards.

Exactly, he was a rookie. The goal is to take that rookie and build around him to establish that continuity. This organization has failed to do that. Notice I said organization, because it isn't all on Gettleman. What is on Gettleman tho is purging the talent around him, so he's on the hook for what type of talent is brought in going forward.

Chemistry can be developed. Guys can come together early for voluntary workouts etc and work on timing, route running, ball location and figure out weaknesses and strengths, learn the playbook and verbage.

Of course its easier when you know this already, so you just have to fine tune but he has presumably already have some kind of chemistry with McNutt and King. He just needs to work with whatever vet WR(s) we get and then draft pick(s)

Most importantly though, Cam still has his safety blanket on the roster in Greg Olsen. That's huge for him, knowing there's a guy he can go to who has really good hands and a large catch radius.

I honestly think Cam will be fine throwing the ball. I just believe that much in his ability. I am worried about him not having a LT and an upgrade at RT. A bit disappointed that DG has not been able to get anyone in FA to plug in. Still time left to do so tho.

I don't see that as an issue as Cam developed "chemistry" at Blinn and Auburn in one season at each place and look how that turned out. Hell look what he did his first year with us on a shortened off season with very little practice because of the lockout.

Are we so sure GMan wants Cam? I must say it sure is odd what's going on. Our receiving corp wasn't much to brag about but getting rid of everyone and replacing them with no one is a head scratcher.

 

Gettleman has said it multiple times that Cam is the qb of the future. Our receiving corp was average last year by most standards and to keep most of them we would have to overpay for them. It was a good decision to let them go. Making smart decision sometimes means letting go of players instead of overpaying for them, that was what hurney did and Gettleman is not hurney. It is what it is but Cam will be ok as long as we can make the o-line good somehow.

Look the situation is what it is. We won't know the situation of how good mcnutt, tavares, draft picks, etc are until we play in the preseason. I am not gonna say that our wr are crap before we have had good legitimate gametime film on them.

Just because Cam is good enough to make it work doesn't mean it isn't stupid to let go of every receiver. Instead of learning new stuff and taking their games to the next level most of the offseason is gonna be spent teaching the basic playbook to a whole group of new guys (with no one to mentor them either). Its basically an offseason of development for Cam down the drain. I wonder how Proehl feels at the moment. Imagine busting your ass on a year long project and your boss comes in and throws it all the dumpster and tells you to start over.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.

      Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
