what you should take away from this game

the panthers used a backup qb and ground an inferior team into dust until the fourth quarter. then they went relaxed and let them almost come back into the game. at the end their best player made a play to secure the win. 

 

the ending not withstanding, that was a pretty good game.

 

cam adds probably 10-13 points to the game today. 

 

it's a good day to cheer for the carolina panthers. pour yourself an asheville brew and enjoy the moment. you get to be happy for a whole week.

Please explain how Cam adds 10 TO 13 POINTS today... don't forget Shula.

I mean I'm not going to fire up rewind and point out the specific plays but there were gains to be made on the ground today. Maybe they were only there because they weren't honoring the run, which is fair, but I don't think it would have mattered. 

 

Additionally, Anderson was overly conservative which was likely by design. Benji and Avant were consistently open deep, and the one time DA tried it he missed horribly. Benji was wide open. 

 

Better execution at the QB position would have yielded more points. Not sure how this is controversial.

    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
    • I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
