You all do know this thread was a random bump of a month old thread by a spammer, right?

Lol spammer gone bye bye

We got Cam back. That's all that matters.

I saw it last week when the pats scored on us. Pissed me off even more.

I swear it's like dealing with 7 year olds in here.

Cam is still one of the most dangerous short yardage players in the league. If they haven't forgotten to respect him, it won't take long for that respect to come back which will open things up for the rest of the offense in those situations. I'm not at all worried about the OL in those situations. Cam & co. will still be able to get that done. One (of many) advantages we have in Cam over Sam is that Cam won't get flustered and lose confidence when things start to collapse. Sam crumbles under pressure. Cam thrives in it. Not only does Cam not crumble, he rallies the players around him in a way that few have ever been able to do. What made Cam great wasn't just the physical parts of his game, it was the incredible amount of contagious confidence that he brought onto the field spreading to the players and that filled the stadium. As long as he has that, we've got a chance.

He's here. He's gonna start. Who made that decision doesn't matter to me as long as it was made.

It just feels right

Kalil is the bigger need. Keek would be nice, but Shaq is doing great and Carter is getting the job done just fine.

coming full circle is better than changing course, staying the course, and walking off a cliff.

he's done more with less. and the way it looked, brady was trying to run the offense like cam was in it. now he's got the real deal.

i know PJ has been dreaming of this moment and he's probably done a lot of work to get ready...but screw it. Get Cam on the field as soon as possible. we didn't go get him to sit on the bench.

better than the 20' tall ones we needed for PJ.

brilliant and true.

see you in a week....maybe.

just like a lot of people i was just sure of a "few" things...and i was wrong. i was wrong about the genius of rhule and brady. i was wrong about sammy turning into a competent option. now i was wrong about Cam not ever coming back. i'm sure there's a good few other things you all can dig up. One common theme, though.... i typically default to optimism when we try something different after we find ourselves stuck in a rut or fall in a hole. When we change course, i hope for the best and until proven otherwise (which happens pretty often...btw, thanks panthers for that) i try to find myself believing that it can be good and can work out, even if it's not what i would have done or thought best. i don't believe cam is anywhere close to the stud QB he was the first half of his time here before the league decided it was open season and let defenders headhunt without consequence and do long term damage to him physically and may have had an impact on him mentally (i know i'll catch some poo for that, but that was a lot of shots to the head the league allowed and he endured. CTE is real and it wouldn't surprise me if after he retires that he has to deal with it as will probably keek). anyways...i don't expect him to be the stud he was, but i hope he can make the game fun again. i know we are probably hoping for a low draft pick next year and us winning games won't help accomplish that, but dammit i'm tired of losing and if he can help that happen then more power to him. i didn't want us to get him. i thought the bridges between him and the panthers were burned and would never be able to be rebuilt. i have serious doubts about his ability to play at a high level....i could go on with reasons why i think this might not work. but i'm defaulting now to hope and that's a good thing because the only thing worse than having hopes crash in burn is not having any hope at all because when it gets to that point there's no point in continuing this thing called being a fan. tl;dr:

No.

I'm just gonna go ahead and lock it. I'm sure he's grateful for the concern and well wishes.

He's fine. He had to take a step back to focus in some more important stuff. Imo, not a bad time to be thinking about something else other than the Panthers.

The Rhule/Brady "braintrust" and their ability to make Sammy good. I wanted to believe. Turns out there is no Santa, sasquatch, or semblance of brilliance in that coaching staff.

Good.

It ain't happening. It ain't happening. It ain't happening. It ain't happening. It ain't happening. It ain't happening.
