In the playoffs, would it be bad to give Cam 20+ carries?

[Thanatos]

Go full college offense. I'm talking Army/Navy type of games where they run 55-60 times in a game. Game is shorter because we're running clock the whole time, and lets face it, our team is not better mano a mano with the Saints. So the shorter the game is, the better the chance for an upset.

Problem with this is I don't know that we have an O-line that is capable of doing this.

How about letting CAP/CMC carry it 20 + Times

But you’re a very good Cam apologists. But just so you know there’s plenty of those.  I mean there’s you Beaston, Red ,Tiger and Fua. What is Cams stats in our 5 losses? Here let me help you out 3 TD’s I will let you enter the INT’s I will give you hints it’s double digits

If Newton ran more it may cut down on interceptions.

but there is some room for more option plays with CMC or alike...it feels like our division foes know us very well, so we need something totally different.

The Rbs have to do their job and Cam has to hit the Wrs when or if they can get open but you dont want the Starting Qb to be your Rb

[stirs]

Serious question

Would 20 runs be better than 20 throws by Cam?

Who gives a fug? You expect a team to go undefeated? What was Cam stat in our one loss in 2015? Idc if Cam throw 100 int if we win. If you were a real Panthers fan that would be your care only.

I know I wish we could all just sit in a large circle and tell each other how great Cam is in all ways

[Vagrant]

what helps cam be as productive as he is on the ground is not the fact that he's an elite ball carrier, it's that he's an elite ball carrier for a quarterback. cam is at his most productive when the threat of his feet forces teams to spy him on every passing down and opens up the field in ways that our WR can't because they just can't consistently get separation. our WR are given 1 on 1 matchups on the outside every week because opposing defenses want to take away the middle of the field from Greg and they want to take away the run. if we just come out running draw plays for Cam, they're going to stack the box even more. 

one thing that is annoying about statistics is that they don't always take the right factors into account. it's like saying when X quarterback throws for 400 yards his team is undefeated. well.... yeah? when your quarterback plays well you're very likely to win. that isn't news. it doesn't mean that you can go out there and force 75 attempts so that your QB hits 400 yards and expect to win the game regardless of all other factors. so when Cam has X amount of carries, what it usually means is that our offense was moving the ball and we were getting first downs. it also likely means that many of those carries were drive extenders or red zone carries, not the primary reason we got down there if that makes sense. 

without the element of surprise as to when Cam's runs are coming, he's not nearly as effective unless you need a yard or less. you can just see by how many 6'5" runningbacks we have in the league that using your blocks is a small man's game. Cam's usage as a runner should come as a natural part of the diversity in play calling, not be the focus of it.

Horrible idea. One rolled ankle and we have Derek Anderson trying to not get murdered the entire game. 

[Jangler]

whatever wins the next 4 games.

[CarolinaCoolin]

Maybe not 20+ but somewhere around 11-15 sure. On first or second down to get some positive yardage. We can’t keep having 3rd and Longs like we did vs the falcons. Let cam run early to set up with short 3rd downs then let him pass. We will have more options open that way. And if cam needs to run to make the 3rd down so be it.
