Anderson is a better option than Cam right now

[Boxhead85]

64% completions, 728 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs in three games this season. Imagine those numbers being higher if both 1) the O-line would protect him and; 2) the running game existed. You're dumb.

[Navy_football]

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.

 

I can see your concern with the media. And that's a valid concern.

 

I could care less about the media. If you can't see that Cam isn't able to move around like usual, then not sure what else to say. If you can't see that he's taking a beating behind this line because of it, then I don't know what to say. If you can't see that most of us are huge Cam Newton fans and want what's best for him, then you shouldn't make assumptions. Just ask.

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!

 

Bingo..those are many of the same fans who are quick to give compliments to QBs like Luck and defend any of their weaknesses by blaming the team, while demanding more from Cam with the ishy team he's forced to carry for 4 seasons now.

 

Makes me wonder about that "inbred" statement on another thread. It's hard to believe how some can expect so much more from a person who is already contributing way more than he should. Then as soon as he get's injured because of the pathetic O-line, and in their minds can't help the team's weakness, it's the endless calls to bench him because it's for his own good.

 

Such BS rational.

[tailg8or]

I wish we would at this point, so once the game end I can revisit threads like this. We should do it for the Cincy game

This team lived a charmed life last year where the ball bounced their way. Not so this year. The wr turnover and o line were my biggest concern before the season started. Still is.

But .. but .. but ... the answer is already on the roster ... your not a GM and must be stupid .... Gettlemagic .... all the analysts are wrong .... and our LT is left handed!! For all of us without homer glasses, not surprised.

The cherry on top was Hurst starting at LT for the Ravens. Naw ... he wasnt worth a late round pick. Who knew???

I'm pretty sure he has like 5+ haha

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.

Who is saying he's hurt to the point that he can't play? Most I've read about is soreness, which is to be expected.

Sitting your franchise QB if he is healthy enough to play basically signals that you have given up on the season.

We're 2-2, the season isn't over.

[Happy Panther]

Is Cam hurt or not? He doesn't seem 100% but I don't know if that means he is at 99% or 78%.

Let's be real, there has always been Panthers fans, whether legit or simply trolls, who are hell bent on helping the Panthers rid of Cam. These so called fans will sit and wait for any small issue with Cam to start the rally cry of benching him. They haven't ceased since he was picked by the Panthers and their own personal prejudices will not let them cease.

 

Then there are those who simply tolerate Cam but only see him as the teams ends to a means. They don't care for him nor about him, for whatever reason they tell themselves. All they care about is him getting a W for the team. If he's not able to do that, then he serves no purpose to this team.

Yeah and by the looks of things, this team is still sitting pretty in this division. The Falcons lost and the Saints play tonight. 

 

Sadly, there seem to be those who only see Cam as an ends to a means for this team. If he can't get this team a W, despite what he has to work with, he doesn't need to be the starting QB. As some have already posted, in their minds the only thing that separate Cam from Anderson are his legs.

Navy Football believes he's hurt badly enough that continuing to play him is counterproductive and risks doing major damage.

I disagree, but understand the rationale.

That's pretty much all there is to it.

Funny, Rivera was on the radio before the game, sounding very upbeat about Cam's health and the way he was throwing the ball.

 

Judging by how well Cam looked form the pocket, I can see why. Cam looked very good out there, as he has all season (regardless of what the team is doing around him). 

 

The whole idea of sitting him cause he's not fully healthy, and/or the team sucks 4 games into the season, or a few more is the height of lunacy and makes you wonder if some here have an agenda? The irony is; Cam is throwing the ball from the pocket--right now--in his current state better than Anderson.

 

There's an ebb and flow to an NFL season, and you can't always have things go swimmingly all year. Good teams and coaches, fix their problems, and hope to turn it around. Not give up!

 

So we either have a bunch of losers, or closet/passive aggressive Cam haters in the fan base??

 

SMH

I disagree, but understand the rationale.

Well, unless he is a doctor, or has spoken with Newton, Rivera, or the medical staff personally, I put virtually no stock in that. It's an opinion.

None of us are.

It's all just fan opinion.

So u're simply sympathizing with a Navy's over-the-top reaction of Cam's soreness not because u accept his rational but understand his concern. 

 

I would accept his concern if he gave some real answers to solving the teams issues beside bench Cam who can play except for some soreness, and stick Anderson behind the same pathetic O-line. It sounds more like he's trying to kill the self esteem of two QBs with one stone.  Bench the starting QB, who is playing just as good now as he was last season, minus the ability to run as fast, and kill his self esteem. And replace him with a QB who has to handle the same O-line issues that cause Cam to get injured in the first place, so he to can get injured. 

 

Oh, and I Pied u because ur defense of Navy is if  nothing else, quite interesting.
