Lester looked good as a rookie and graded out as our best safety according to PFF (albeit in limited playing time). I never understood why he didn't play much last year. I'm not sure if he's the answer but he's not bad by any means.

Why does your friends refuse to talk about Cam and the Panthers with you?

 

And, why is Cam forcing plays? Oh, maybe the answer is, his Receivers are not helping him out. That is too easy. Nope, it Cam's fault because he is doing something wrong.

 

Why is it when it comes to QBs like Matt Stafford, Sam Bradford, Luck and even Eli,  you would hear folks admit the QBs are forcing the ball because the Receivers are fugging up but when it comes to QBs like Cam, it's all on them.

 

The media and Colts fans will demand the team do every thing to help Luck succeed. I simply don't get the hype surrounding him when all he's doing is managing the games like he was in college. It's the rest of the team who is making him look good and he gets all of the credit. But you folks expect Cam to be like a workhorse and carry this team week in and out. Guess what happens when, the Receivers don't do their part? Cam forces the balls.

 

I strongly believe deep down inside many of you simply don't want Cam under center. U will tolerate him playing but the measuring stick you will give to another QB, u will not do so with him. And that is so darn obvious.

They refuse to talk about Cam with me because I constantly hype Cam up. I fully believe that he has the potential to be the greatest QB of all time.

I agree with you that too many Panthers fans take Cam for granted. Too many people also act like Cam has little to no issues as well. I love Cam to death. He's my 2nd favorite player behind Smitty (and tbh I talk about Cam way more than I do Smitty). Cam just had a really bad second half, but his teammates did not help him out at all. AWFUL offensive line and early drops that should have been TD's really hurt not only him, but the team as a whole. I just can't help to think, "what if Cam had another weapon, a real offensive line, and a great coaching staff around him?". Hopefully we'll find out next season...

And but unlike Eli, many of you will be ready to trade him instead of realizing that he is desparately trying to make something happen and will cause more Ints than needed.

 

FYI, a QB cannot work by himself. He needs a team around him.

Look I'm just about the biggest Cam homer you will find. My friends that I talk football with always refuse to discuss Cam or the Panthers with me. I want Cam to succeed and I want him to be the QB of the future. I'm not ready to give up on him yet. He's had a good season until this game. Every QB has stinkers and Cam just had one. On the other hand, it's pretty easy to predict what is going to happen at the end as Cam is forcing plays. 

2 weeks to prepare and lose with 6 points?!?!?

That's why we need an overhaul. Not only the staff, but we need more weapons on offense and a much better offensive line. Coaching does change a lot though. See: Jim Harbaugh, Andy Reid, etc

Prediction on what happens our next series?

Well seeing this situation a LOT as a Panthers fan I will predict that Cam will throw another INT trying to force something to happen.

It's just so hard to support this team...

Lemme find out that DeAngelo is back in his prime.
