Cam needs to step up this year

Probably unlike most of the huddle, I am not 100% sure Cam can lead us to a Superbowl win or become that great QB we hope and expected him to be. He has been inconsistent since coming into the league. 

 

Yes, he has had some significant limitations (OL and OC) but OL should be much improved this year. 

 

I would like to be able to see him with an actual OC who has produced top 10 offenses but unfortunately, I do not see Shula getting fired due to our defense keeping all the games close. I hope I am wrong on that. 

 

So, Cam has to take that next step WITH Shula. As of right now, I am weary of investing the farm on a guy that is as inconsistent as Cam.

It's a good thing you're not GM then huh? Do you think that Cam doesn't know he needs to get better? We don't need dumb poo threads calling him out as if he was satisfied with the results of last year. Rivera has said the same thing)without the investing in him threat), and so has Cam. You are not bringing anything new to the table.

We have been hearing the "I / He needs to get better" every year and still we see the same problems and inconsistencies. 

 

It's time to put up or shut up. Or people to stop with the unrealistic expectations and opinions.

Can Cam improve? Obviously. 

 

Is Cam even on an extended list of problems for this team? No. 

 

 

 

Becoming more consistent will be nice and something I hope for. I expect it will come with an improved OL and him finally being healthy. Throw in a hopefully healthy Stewart running the ball instead of Deangelo, Tolbert as well, and another weapon or two and I expect him to make strides this year. Now, will Shula or injuries hamper that? We shall see.

Newsflash but no QB is perfect. You are the type of person who expects Cam to be perfect when there are no perfect QB's in the league. Every single one makes mistakes, so get that through your head first of all. And secondly you act like Cam has had the perfect O-line these past 4 years when he hasn't. You may not want to hear it but circumstances do matter. If an O-line is poo, how do you expect a QB to be consistent when he has to worry about protection. Gettleman has pretty much said that Cam is the franchise QB so short of Cam regressing, he's not going anywhere.

I'm curious. If being a fan of the Panthers makes you so weary, why do it? Plenty of other teams to choose from.

 

If you like being depressed, that's on you. I choose to let go of the baggage of the past and look forward to a new chance to win it all.

 

Do what you want and I hope it works out for you.

Well we haven't exactly given Cam a good enough supporting cast the last few years. However I do agree to extent. I would like to see him start taking over games with his passing prowess and we all know he can do it. He's  got enough to work with at WR now and the line has gotten better. Really really want to see Cam pass for 27-30 TDs this year.

As Cam goes, we go.  2015 decides if Cam is a lifelong Panther or a Dallas Cowboy more than likely.

I'm betting black and blue.

 

In fact, I'm betting we win the South for the 3rd year in a row, prolly win 11 games or more and have a good chance to be in the SB.

 

Let it play out.

He didn't say he needs to be "perfect", he said he needs to take his game to another level, which is true. If we are actually expecting to win a superbowl, he has got to. And newsflash to you too, no O-line is perfect either, which is why Cam has to get better at pocket awareness, situational football, anticipation, etc. so he can help them out as well.

 

What pocket?

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
