So you are saying you wouldn't pay Peyton Manning who waived off the punt team?? :rofl:

Why are we comparing Newton to Manning?

Manning can do anything he wants. He's his own OC. If Newton reaches that point, fine, but the reality is that certain players can do certain things because they've earned the right. It sounds like to Auburn, he had earned that right. Doesn't mean that I have to like that he did it.

When you're about to enter the NFL, you don't really want to make it sound like you think you have better judgment than your college coach. But it sounds like it was a minor thing and not a big deal... so I doubt the teams care much.

Doesn't mean *I* have to like his answer.

In the crunchtime sequence Sunday that led to the NFL's season record for touchdown passes, Manning provided a twist: waving off the punt team.

Faced with a fourth-and-4 after an improbable flip to Edgerrin James for an 11-yard completion, the Colts had all of their timeouts and the two-minute warning to work with when the punt team headed onto the field.

There's a lot of things I'd let Manning do. He's earned it.

Manning is capable of calling his own play on the field too. Since he can do it, should we let Cam do it?

Doubt it. Personally, I'd be afraid to have the wrong facial expression if I were standing in front of Rivera.

Dude's scary.

And that what makes me more comfortable with Cam.

Cam and Pete Carrol? No way.

Cam and Fox? Eh, dont like it.

Cam and Rivera? I think Cam will know his place.

I said similar things about Shockey.

Shockey with John Fox as coach? Recipe for disaster.

Shockey with Rivera in charge? Not worried.

Rivera being able to handle Newton's ego isn't an item that appears on my Worry List.

Doesn't mean I'm on board that he's the right choice at #1 though.

so you're totally okay with a guy who has only spent 6 weeks in the offense at a point where he is "comfortable enough" with the playbook to execute the offense as it was meant to be calling his own audibles... and by that we mean trying to QB sneak without anyone else on his team seeming to know that was his plan?

I mean I just am not set with his explanation but if his coaches were cool with it, that's fine. They know better than I do. I still don't have to like it.

I am just saying, real competitors want the ball in their hands at the end of the game, and those are the guys I want on my team.

Brings me back to my original point. It doesn't matter what I think. Chizik didn't mind and actually defended the play. So why should I care??

I understand, but I'd like them to also make smart decisions and also realize that at times the coaches DO know right.

I never said you should care. I said I care. If you don't care, that doesn't bother me at all. All I said was I didn't like his answer. I didn't say "AND TEERAY YOU SHOULDN'T EITHER!!!"

      High look overview...

      By musicman · Posted

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.

      Canes vs Panthers(Back to Back Games Thread)

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
