R.R.:I have been wrong before about injuries

[AceBoogie]

Have you seen McCown under pressure? Come on now. The winner of this game won't have 200 yards through the air instead it'll be 150 yards on the ground.

Have you seen DA under pressure? I mean come on y'all go a little too far on the DA hype don't forget he has more interceptions in his career than touchdowns, only two years of a passer rating higher than 69. 2007 with Chud and the few passes he threw last year. I hate when you guys make me bash our own players but y'all have a habit over overrating them.

Mccown has more to work with from a WR standpoint, and we haven't yet seen what Lovie has done to that defense. So yes in that situation I favor Mccown.

it's mccown....with a college level offensive coordinator

...with a younger college level play caller

....going up against our stud D

nevermind. you aren't looking at the big picture here and you probably won't.

have fun watching.

This is the NFL. ALL defenses we will play tho year have the ability to take Cam out in a single hit since he has a rib injury.

That's the fact of our situation

I would start Cam and if he can't get protection and is taking hits then I put in DA.

No you're just biased and that's fine. I noticed you left out DA this time, I thoughts that's what we're debating in the first place.

[TheRed]

He looked fine two days ago in practice.

 

We've known all along that he is going to be sore. So he took the day off. What exactly is the news here?

[AceBoogie]

And yet you're overrating a 35 year old who benefited from an anemic division in 2013 (which featured a crappy Vikings squad and an injury-filled Packer team). This is the NFC South buddy. He'll have to face our defense and The Saints' offense twice a year.

Like I stated previously, QB play won't be a factor in a W on Sunday. It'll be Stewart/Tolbert vs their front seven AND Martin vs our front seven.

I'm not overrating him, you haven't read me post anything great about him. I compared him to DA and I said I believed Mccown is the better player and has better targets. And I think if lovie wanted to just run the ball he wouldn't have went and got Mccown or drafted Mike Evans. I expect them to come out and test our secondary. They have two guys 6'5" running 4.5 and 4.4 40s. They're going to throw the ball.

Personally I'd love it if the bucs came out trying to sling it

[Vampire the buffet slayer]

This is how its going down.

1st quarter.

Bucs run, run, run.

Panthers are shaky.

Bucs 7-0

2nd quarter.

Bucs get a little confidence going and start throwing it. Go down the field 40 yards and fumble.

Panthers get a little rhythm and put up 3.

Half time 7-3.

3rd quarter.

KB gets it going putting up 7.

Tb come back with 3 and tie it up.

Our ball with 4 left in the 3rd and cam breaks off 30 yd run capping it off with 7 to Olsen.

17-10

4 quarter.

3and out tb.

We show why we are the better team with another 3 on the ground.

Game wraps with a pick 6 by white with 3 mins left.

27 - 10

And the naysayers hide as the huddle rejoices.

THE ****** END!

would not be worth risking the season, if Cam isn't near 100%, start DA. he wouldnt lower the winning % that much if Cam is less playing hurt

Can't afford to sit him until he is 100%. That would take weeks and weeks.

Brady, Romo, etc.....you can play with ribs. Might not be able to be a running back but you can play QB.

Also, Anderson IMO is overrated by our fanbase. Outside of his one fluke season.....he has been horrible in recent years when gameplanned for (with a better OL and recieving options than he will have week 1).

Cam is the guy. He likely will be playing through injury for a huge chunk of the season. He just has to alter his style

[UpstatePanther]

Cam Newton is the best QB in NFL History and also in the future.

He could play every position on defense and would be a Hall of Famer.

 

beat me to it damn you haha

 

who is "we"? It shameful if you call these people your family

 

not really. these guys and gals are pretty cool, and they are no more messed up than any average American family. when it comes to the Carolina Panthers, i consider the Huddle my family. i trust them the most, i run to them the most, and i'll never abandon my Huddle pplz. 

 

however, every time you put your fingers to the keyboard on this website, you make yourself out to be a fool. but kudos cus everyone's responses to you make me LOL every time. i guess every family needs a fool or two. CharlottePanther are you reading this too?

[mc52beast]

I don't think Ron would sacrifice the health of Cam for a win... might be a good chance DA will start

[BigCat]

If Cam isn't ready to go, it does appear he isn't, start DA, that's why we have him and JWeb.

We'll see but I was referring to this week. Our fan base seems to think he really is superman, but with not just fractured ribs, also a tender ankle there are plenty if precautions to take. Even with a healthy Cam, this is a tough game and only one of 16. The other 15 are more important. We know Cam will play no matter what, but it's certainly a risk especially with a guy like McCoy along with Zjohnson and David.

It's the NFL....when Brady played with 3 messed up ribs he was being a football player. Same with Romo.

If Ron wanted to wait until he was 100% we can just call it a season and wait till 2015
