Anderson is a better option than Cam right now


1989

Recommended Posts

Bench the OL and put Cam behind their backups? And all so we can 'kill their self-esteem'?

What's gonna get killed by doing that is our quarterback.

 

They can't be much worst than what is protecting him now. If that's the case then this team needs a whole new O-line.

 

BTW, I have been on this site for 4 seasons now and i have heard u folks make more excuses for the rest of this team while creating endless threads on how to fix Cam. Maybe it's time to wake up.

No...I would rather u fix your O-line than bench the QB who is doing more for this team, even while not 100%.

Let me let u in on a little secret, preserve your QB by demanding more from your those around him instead of looking for ways to get rid of him. Only Panthers fans would want to bench their QB because of the issues with the rest of their team. That has got to be the dumbest isn I have ever heard.

It's not 'benching' for performance that he's suggesting. It's sitting him out to keep him from getting injured.

I disagree, but at least I understand why he wants this.

If you can't understand the difference between those two, I can't help you.

Said it last week after the Steelers game...Cam shouldn't play until he's ready to run the option. Our running game sucks. It's absolutely atrocious behind that line. The only reason it was effective the last two years was due to the element that Cam adds. If defenses don't have to account for his ability to take it for 15-20 yards on a given play then the running game is done and there is no point in Cam playing. Play 100% of the playbook or don't play.

 

Cam is throwing fine.

 

It's the OL and RB's that suck, and/or are banged up!

 

And I agree with you, that it was the Cam Element/Factor why the RB's ever got any space to run (though  you so many nimrods here, who say it was the defense and CAm was a game manger). But that doesn't mean you have to sit him.

 

IF the OL was performing, and/or a better OC present, Cam would be fine in his present state. But he needs a little help from his OC, OL, and/or RB's, unless you're just saying sit him to protect him (which I don't agree with, especially so early)?

If we're going to use this argument that we should sit players because they might get hurt, we may as well not bother to field a team at all on game days. Newton is only 25, he needs the reps. You don't sit him if he's healthy because you've done a pathetic job at building an OL, you go out and make a move, there are still 12 more games to play, we are 2-2. If he says he is healthy enough to play, and the medical staff agrees with that, then he should play. Unless these folks are trying to argue that they know better than the man himself and the medical staff.

I understand quite well, thank u very much.

 

Yup, I can see the headline  now...The Panthers benched Cam to help him get 100% well. The rational behind that move...Well, our O-line can't stand up to anything and he can't run like he did when he was 100%. Serious comic relief indeed.

 

Then the endless media scrutiny of Cam not being a man will ensue and  some of Panther fans will sit and think of your next rational idea...Well, let's just keep Anderson in since Cam isn't mentally capable to stand behind our O-line.

 

U can tell that those who never cease on finding ways to get rid of Cam are always running the show on this site.

 

I simply can't with the rational of some of you Panthers fans.

Yeah, people who are saying this to "protect him" must not really like him. Because there's an ebb and flow to football teams and their seasons. So why would you give up on your franchise QB so early to allegedly protect him, by putting in his inferior back up? Like you said: Who's to say, the Panthers won't get their house in order soon (though it looks unlikely)? But it happens.

 

Ironically, Cam is still a better pocket QB than Anderson is right now in his current state. Anderson, would have shat the farm out there, throwing three picks with the pass rush we saw today.

 

Unbelievable!

Not only are some Panthers fans wishy-washy but they are wimps. Who the heck would bench a starting QB that is cleared to play because he's  not able to run? It seems the usual Cam haters are now disguising themselves as concerned fans. So darn obvious.

 

From 2011, there has never been endless threads about how to fix this team. Only endless thread about how to make Cam perfect, while criticizing every thing he does or doesn't do. Not an ounce of concern about the real issues of this team.

This reminds me of that one poster, back in '11 or 12, that said we should sit Cam and start DA against the Saints, because "we know what Cam has, let's see what DA's got".  We know what DA brings to the table; he's had 2-3 years to show what he can do.  1. You don't bench your starting/franchise QB; especially if he's saying he's fine.  Sitting him now, sends a signal to the team and fans that we've given up.

2. Cam has had a great year throwing the ball; in fact, his completion percentage will be up there with the big boys by the end of the year.  He's looked great this year, and has not been turning the ball over (only 1 turnover this year...a fumble last week).

3. DA isn't going to do much more than what Cam is doing now.  DA is no threat to run.  Also, DA almost lost us the game against TB. 

 

*sigh* no matter how good Cam is or how much he improves, there's always going to be people out there calling for his head.

You don't sit players because you're worried they might get hurt.

You sit players because they are hurt, and you don't want them hurt worse.

I don't agree with it right now, but more games like today and I might be talked into it.

Your 'rational' is to be more worried about his image than his health?

You really don't understand football at all.
