So I know a lot of folk are concerned with Cam’s ability to be great after his performance in game one. 

Here was his stat line:

C/ATT: 25/38, 65.8%

YDS: 239, 6.3 AVG

TD: 0

INT: 1

FUMBLE: 1

RTG: 72.1

===========

C/ATT: 21/35, 60%

YDS: 262, 7.5 AVG

TD: 0

INT: 1

FUMBLE: 1

RTG: 71.4

 

The second stay line is Brady’s, against the Rams, in the super bowl. 

Maybe, that doesn’t mean anything and isn’t a fair comparison. But maybe Cam was actually just rusty like he claimed, and he’s still as capable as he always has been of being a tremendous quarterback. 

Rejoice! Because tonight the Panthers will come to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And they’re all out of bubblegum.

Wasting time and energy defending Cam's play is a fool's errand.  We lost the turnover battle and couldn't stop the run --- if those aren't the two keys to winning any game, then I don't know what is.  Cam is good enough to beat any team out there on his best days, and still half of them on his average days.  But if his supporting cast doesn't do their job, Uncle Rico himself can't overcome lack of execution, sloppy turnovers and brace yourself...missed opportunities with four fumbles and zero recoveries. I sat in the nose bleeds with an endzone view and 75% of the time I saw our D-Line getting gutted, over pursuing plays and completely abandoning their gap assignments...yet Cam and his head scarfs are the ones to blame...oh okay den.

I've said all week that what Cam did on Sunday is actually much better that what the average mob thinks it was.

TD's and INT's tend to work themselves out over the season.  But if you take his stat line from Sunday and extrapolate completions, attempts and yards over 16 games you get 400 / 608 for 3800 yards at almost 66% completion.  It would only take a couple big games to become a career year for him.  If Sunday is "bad Cam" for 2019, we are in for a helluva show.

Any of us could run that offense from sunday. Checkdowns and hitches

      Sure, there's definitely a chance that a fire sale in 2022 could've paid off but I don't think that's a certainty. It's not just about stockpiling the picks and bettering odds; it's about hitting on those picks, having a stable coaching staff to develop them, and keeping the locker room engaged. We didn't exactly have a model front office nor stable coaching staff in 2022. It's worth noting that part of the reason that DJ had to be included in the trade up for #1 was because the Bears needed an immediate, proven WR1 to help Fields. It was him or another immediate first-round pick, not a future one like what was being offered for Burns (whom teams knew that things were shaky with and that they could afford to wait). As for the Eagles, they recovered because the foundation was already in place. Pederson got flak and was ultimately fired (and was just fired again this offseason from the Jags). Their recovery was quick because the foundation was already in place: Howie Roseman and a solid roster (that included a stacked OL, a second year QB, and a veteran defense). Philly had a margin of error that just wasn't available to Carolina. I'm not against using the draft to rebuild, but a full-on teardown comes with real consequences: fan disengagement, a fractured locker room, poor development, a losing environment... and I don't believe that we had the necessary leadership at the time to cleanly navigate it. That's a gamble that I want no part of.  Now that we do have a staff that seems to be in complete alignment and building for the future rather than fighting for their jobs, I'm more inclined to observe their process and see where it leads rather than backseat driving with "perfect" hindsight.

      I see it a bit differently considering there is only 20M in cap space. Given how many of the premium positions are on rookie contracts their cap should not be nearly maxed out. Tillis still has a lot of work to do before these rookies will need a second contract.
