That is a loser mentality. You try and win every game. In a game where players put their health on the line every day and play despite injury and pain to try and win it is a huge disservice not to give your all. Clearly you haven't played anything at a high level or you wouldn't suggest such garbage.

Yeah this dumb "rah rah" mentality ended Cam's career prematurely and is working on CMC's. Sorry, but wanting players to put their bodies on the line for empty moral victories doesn't make you a better fan. It means you don't really care about their health to begin with.

Players play the game for money. It is a business to them. So the whole putting their bodies on the line for moral victories might be a college thing but not a pro thing. If you play well on a crappy team  you still get a big contract and make millions. So your whole premise is off base. Football is a violent game but players do it because they think it is worth it. It isn't to make fans happy. If they had to play for free how many would do it? Not many. So they get compensated to risk their health so again they aren't doing it for charity or the team primarily. They do it for themselves.

Cam would be lot richer today if he had a coach who cared about his health over winning every game at any cost.

Cam made millions upon millions in salary and endorsements so I don't feel sorry for him. And when he played for Belichick who is generally considered a good coach they used him just like the Panthers did. The reason he ran so much was because that was his game. He was never a good pocket passer which is what we all said he would have to evolve if he wanted to stay in the league. Injury stopped his game which is the case with most players. Nobody made him do anything he didn't want to do and he was paid well for what he did.

Just so we're all on the same page here, we're talking about this PJ Walker, right?

image.thumb.png.34a98da050c43e201397eb23d3c69aa7.png

The guy with a 4:1 INT to TD ratio?  Completing 56% of his passes?  With 3.4 air yards per attempt?  The guy two inches SHORTER than Baker Mayfield?

Frankly, nothing could signal "white flag" to the locker room any more clearly than starting PJ Walker.

Why do you overlook the most powerful stat: W's

And this preseason he looks like he's improving

I would not want to play or have you guys on my team. Now is the time to coach like hell and develop these young guys and let them grow. It's not rah rah. It's being a damn professional athlete. I'm out.

We don't have a damn professional head coach.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Icege · Posted

      One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By 7CLOWNS · Posted

      “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃
