This is a statement I saw quite a few times in the game day thread and has been trotted out a lot in the past.

 

Fact of the matter is, When you have a defense that can stuff the run and force three and outs late in games you always have a chance. Cam showed that 5th year poise late. This team is forreal. Shame on all who turned off the Cardiac Cats.

This team is breaking the mold when it comes to what the Panthers can and cannot do:

Can't win after a week off. False

Can't win in Seattle.  False

Can't come from behind.  False

Can't win when key players are out with injuries.  False

This team is more stout and deep than any other Panthers team I can recall since their inception.

They are proving themselves to be among the best in the NFL.

This team does honestly lack the explosive players like Smitty who can score on any play from anywhere...but we do have good ball control and mid-range game so to speak....Lots of players who can catch the possession type 10-15 yard plays.

very good post. I agree. 

 

I think it comes down to two key factors.

Cam in his 5th Year. Has full control of the offense. Has poise in the pocket. Can make plays with his legs.

AND

Ron in his 5th year as a head coach. Old ron would have ran it and kicked the field goal to take it to OT. 5th year ron went for the win and it paid off. Really had this team playing at a high level. Deserves a lot of credit.

Oh come on... we won today but we are NOT a team that can win shootouts. We aren't. 

We beat a very flawed, screwed up Seattle team which was awesome. Don't fool yourself into thinking we are the type of team that can do this regularly. We aren't Green Bay or Atlanta even in this regard.

Seattle had a mix of athletes that matched up well vs. our offense. Those speed rushers from all angles really disrupted things for Cam . Not many teams can present that challenge to our offense.

no one said anything about winning shootouts. The argument was we can't comeback in games. When you are down by 2 possessions in Seattle then come back and win you completely shut that talk up. We've proved an awful lot today

Exactly, glad to see some killer instinct after all those years of playing it safe.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Icege · Posted

      I'm arguing that should those supposed deficiencies, like height or pocket footwork, be as consequential as you and others have claimed, then there would be a clear, observable impact in the data. That's not unreasonable. For example, batted passes are often used as a size-related concern (see: Baker Mayfield), yet Bryce ranked among the lowest in deflections at the line. If his stature is such a limitation, why isn't it showing up there? Or are you suggesting that's why his passing yards fall short of your expectations? If the latter, I would hope that you're not discounting yards left on the field due to drops (of which he led the league in).  Also, asking for specific, measurable benchmarks isn't aggression... it's accountability. If that feels uncomfortable, it might be worth reflecting on how much of your anti-Bryce argument is grounded in subjective perception rather than objective metrics. So, again: do you have any specific KPIs beyond total passing yardage, height, and weight that you consider relevant to evaluating whether a QB is top-10? If you want to add YPA and passing yards per game to those metrics, that's fair, just be clear about it. But let's not pretend that asking for clarity is some kind of provocation. I'm simply trying to understand the actual criteria... not just the vibes.

      Jackson actually played quite well for a #2 CB #54 in PFF coverage ratings 12 pass break ups solid in run defense..... Hes gonna be targeted just because Jacyee IS being avoided.

      Yeah, these arguments are getting twisted to the point that it's just an airing of old grievances for the 100th time. No matter what happened in the past, no matter what the "trajectory" is, Bryce has to show why he was a number 1 overall draft pick.  If people didn't like Cam and what he did for us at QB, I hate to see what poor Bryce is gonna get if he doesn't reach Manning-esque heights.
