Geez, that sucks.

I still have so much love for what Cam has done for us over his career with the Panthers, and I hoped him well in his post Carolina stops.

Cam won't stay on the streets for too long.  There are teams out there with way worse QB situations than we have, and teams who will look for a spark.  Cam will just have to wait for the inevitable injuries or plain bad QBs to show out the first few weeks.

Will he have success?  Who knows?  How much does he have left as a runner and passer?  Again, who knows.

If I was betting that's where I would pick.  The problem for Cam as a backup is that he is still a high-profile player and anywhere he goes, the minute the starting QB struggles, people will be clamoring for him.

A lot of coaches don't want to deal with that, and would rather have a lesser backup than to deal with the media circus

Dude the starting QB is Ryan Fitzpatrick. He is going to struggle sooner rather than later. If Cam is healthy, he's the best QB on that roster. He already knows the offense, give him a few weeks and he could lead the WFT to a better record than last year.

Weirdly enough, Belichick was quoted just this morning as saying that Newton was "going in the right direction".

Apparently the right direction was out the door 😕

So what I'm seeing is Rhule isn't the only coach to talk a guy up before kicking him to the curb?

I'm surprised by this move. However, it highlights some real discrepancies between how good our fans see him vs how others see him. Two franchises cut him instead of trading him. He took relatively very small contracts to get on a team. He looked fairly good this preseason but that's now what other's see it.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
