In retrospect, thank the maker that Cam Newton did not start

Not to add a wet blanket to this uplifting thread, but someone else mentioned that a beatdown against Pittsburgh sent us on a long losing streak last season.

How do you see us moving forward, you know, with an inspiring HC like Rivera?

Regardless of what game he comes back, if he has a bad game it’ll be the same from the media. Prepare your bungholes.....

from what I have seen they are one in the same. Sure some things are a little different but results are the same.

I've got nothing for you if you think Turner and Shula are more or less interchangeable

Are we really going to sit here and pretend we haven’t seen a healthy Cam win these games? 

Cam has a long career of all kinds of fabulous examples on can look back at. 

I can't recall Cam winning a game where the defense had its face kicked in like last Sunday.  SF did things to our defense has never been done in our existence.   Cam doesn't win games like that.    No QB wins games like that.

The Broncos defense didn't lay a beat down on us in SB 50 like SF did on Sunday.  New England and San Francisco are doing historic things on the defensive side of the ball this season. 

I have no clue where anyone in their right mind thinks a single personnel change on our side (aside an all star O-Line) does anything to alter the trajectory of how things played out.  Take any QB in the history of the NFL and insert them on this team.  There is no sniffing a W outcome for how things played out.

Anyone with reasonable expectation coming into this on Sunday knew this.  Yet here we are... making proclamations to that end making anyone entertaining the notion that much dumber for having done so.

I know I did this same kind of thinking as a kid.  God how fugin dumb did I sound to anyone I talked to?
