Cam's throws today

What I saw today did not look like a QB coming off shoulder surgery.  Not sure if he just needed a few weeks to get his groove on, or maybe he's just finally had enough time to really heal, but that was a damned clinic today.  Accuracy better than I've seen from Cam in a loooong time.  He still throws the dump-off balls harder than he needs when his guys are wide open for easy 5-10 yard completions, but he did seem to be slinging the ball really well.  The Oline did a good job giving him time to throw, so kudos to them.  His confidence was definitely back, and that's the fuel for his engine.

Let's enjoy this win - and may it be the springboard momentum we need to string some W's together!  Go Panthers!

Well, there were a lot of people who said it was going to take a few weeks for his shoulder to get back 100%. So, really we should've expected trash Cam earlier, and as the season progresses the better he gets. I didn't watch the game, but looking at his box score, he had a great game. I'd expect a few more great games from him as the shoulder continues to get better

On the int. If Byrd did not hesitate and kept running his route I don't think it would have been picked. I don't think he could have caught it in double coverage but would have had the chance himself to break up the int. Regardless, that was a bad ball thrown by Cam. Thank goodness that was the only one. Cam looked sharp today.

Funchess made a great play on a ball late in the 4th. basically acted as a DB and saved it from being picked. those two were the only shitters today.

Funchess actually saved the game for us. That break up and that pivot 4 yard pass thst he caught while he was injured

Cam was clearly more accurate and also seemed to have better zip on the ball than he's had so far this season. But the pass protection - or the lack of a Pats pass rush, whichever you want to credit more - definitely helped.

It's amazing the difference between Cam with and without solid pass protection. You give him time to throw and he's a legit MVP caliber QB, even with Shula's shortcomings as an O.C. and even with mediocre receivers, as we saw in 2015.

In that sense he's no Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady as far as operating under pressure, but more of a Peyton Manning, who was money when given protection, but almost looked like a different player when consistently pressured.

I swear, if this organization can just find a steady tackle tandem we'd be set. Today aside, I just don't think Matt Kalil and Daryl Williams is it.

      Ekwonu contract

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Yeah, I am not giving up on him yet but I do think we need to see a pretty big step up this season to be convinced he is a long term solution. It is a shame that his development seemed to be stunted in 2023.

      Steelers pick trades

      By theinstrumental · Posted

      To put the question simply: Would you be happy with a Steelers trade that doesn't bring back their first-round pick next year? A potential trade between us and Pittsburgh is interesting because depending on which draft value chart you use, Pittsburgh has two totally natural trades available to them, but they're very different. The Jimmy Johnson chart says the difference between us at 8 and them at 21 is 600 points, or almost exactly the value of the last pick in the 1st round. That falls in line with how teams tend to discount future picks. 8 for 21 and next year's Pitt 1st is almost exactly equal. More modern charts (Chase Stuart, Fitz) are much flatter, and 8 for 21 and 83, Pittsburgh's next pick this year, are basically equal.  Now, the second one obviously won't actually happen--the Lions had to include pick 73 just to move from 29 to 24 last year, and Pittsburgh would clearly be making a much bigger jump. But given the flatness of this draft and the lack of blue-chip players at the top, would you accept some mix of 21, 83, and next year's non-first-rounders from Pittsburgh, or would you want Dan Morgan barred from every touching the draft again for accepting anything less than next year's first?
