Time to rally behind Cam

Cam says he was rusty, not on the same page as the team. He and Ron both say the shoulder is fine. There is no reason Cam should not come out Thursday night and light it up. For once in his career his receivers are getting open. I know he wishes he had a few of those throws to do over again. 

So let us pretend that the 3 point first half performance against the Rams was indeed a preseason game. That makes 24 points that followed in the second half what the regular season offense can look like. 

Playing an entire first half is what starting QB's used to do in the third preseason games to prepare fully. It makes sense that Cam and many other QBs in the league didn't look their best yesterday. 

That said, that excuse is now null and void. There is absolutely no reason why this team should not go out and dominate Tampa Bay. I believe Cam and the rest of the team will do so.

And speaking of the beach, what was the deal with that suit he wore? Looked like Peewee Herman on a trip to the Outer Banks.

i thought it was the baby malcolm x on a blustery day look, but yours is better

Said it in another thread.

 

We need to be keeping a watch on the foot just as much as the shoulder. 3 rushing attempts for -2 yards isn’t Cam and if he can’t run then we are a 1-dimensional offense. The singular dimension being Christian. 

Rams did a good job keeping Cam in the pocket and maintaining gap discipline.  It’s kinda why Donald didn’t make many plays.

Cam didn’t have a bad game. He didn’t rush much, and the one scramble he seemed hesitant to. It seems that’s just the game plan, and I’m fine with that. One or two runs a game is fine. He had like three overthrows and a bad interception. He had more really pretty passes that had a high degree of difficulty. There were also the really quick release passes that were not common in previous years, like those two quick passes back to back that went for 15-20 yard gains in the 2nd or 3rd qtr.  He was rusty, yea. But he didn’t have a bad game.  The run was working for us, so he didn’t have to pass as much.

Keeping him in and collapsing the pocket. Cam also had a number of very good plays where he stepped up in the pocket or side stepped would be tacklers then made good throws, when in the past he would have scrambled around and possibly taken the sack.

I agree that it wasn't a bad game,  it just wasn't Cam's usual game.

      Panthers Saints Game Week 1

      By Iron Saint · Posted

      Meh. He played well on the special teams units but despite safety becoming a dire position we needed a warm body at, he was a complete non-factor on defense to justify keeping him around. He averaged 10.2 defensive snaps per game across 12 games last year and couldn't overtake Howden or Abram for the position (both of whom were brought back this year). Maybe he'll play better at CB for y'all but I wouldn't hold out much hope. As mid of a head coach Allen may be, he knows his stuff regarding the secondary so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on it.

      couple more things re: extreme hots and colds and the EV use tax. In the winter months, I can confirm that the range isn't as far, but it has never given me range anxiety except the first time I made a trip to Myrtle Beach and wasn't accounting for it. I just had to detour and use a Supercharger for 5 min and the rest of the trip was no issue. Summer months have never been an issue at all.  NC has a $140.25 EV Registration fee every year, which amounts to the gas/use tax for ICE.

      Just seeing this thread, and after browsing, I figured I would drop in and add my 2 cents. I hope this answers some of the questions or misconceptions that I have noticed.   I have owned a 2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus since Dec 2020, and love it. Absolute best car I have ever personally owned.  Current daily driver of 100 miles round trip to work and back.  Level 2 Charger at home in Garage.   The battery in my car was still designed to charge to ~80% for daily usage, only going above for trips etc preferably. The current batteries they recommend to charge to 100%.   1st year was in an apartment, 40 miles round trip at that point. Would highly depend on public level 2 charger at the library near me, and would also use 110v at work occasionally on weekends. Supercharger for travel. It wasn’t the most optimal, but I made it work. No maintenance in this year outside of tire rotations.   Years 2+, I am now driving 100 miles round trip to work. Level 2 charger in my garage.  I get home from work at ~25% charge, and charge back to my daily 80% in ~3.5hrs. On 110v, you can expect that will be over 24hrs. So for daily driver usage you will want a level 2 charger. For piddling around town, 110v will probably be fine. I had a part fail that was covered under warranty, and tire replacement/rotations for maintenance.     Tires: I have 99k+ miles on my car currently. I will put my 2nd set of tires on it at ~110k.   When I have had people ask me how I like my car, I always show them these 2 pages from the Tesla app. The numbers there are based on what I pay for kWh ($0.11) vs est cost of gas in NC at $3.93 per gallon. People who are concerned about the higher cost vs ICE probably don’t figure in the gas savings, or time/cost getting oil changes etc.  My car payment isn’t that much higher than any other car I’ve owned (shrug).   I know this is personal, and I don’t like the guy either, but I would not let Musk keep me from owning the brand. Thats like Henry Ford keeping you from owning Ford for, well….   Tesla currently have the best charging infrastructure for travel. Longest trip I have made is to Williamsburg VA from Triangle region. No issues getting there, no range anxiety etc. Sure stops can take longer for charging etc, but they are mostly setup at restaurants, gas stations etc for breaks, but ideally you’re not charging back to full at a stop. The best way to travel is to charge enough for you to get to the next stop. It’s faster at the batteries get juice faster when they are lower.  I have never seen another brand using Tesla superchargers tho I have heard it’s coming. But I have seen assholes pull their boats horizontally in charging stations 😉   If you are curious about how an EV would play into travel, check out https://abetterrouteplanner.com . Put in any EV you want, it will show you the path, time and time per charge etc. Great tool.
