The Doctor is in ... Zod's season prognosis...

This is a little odd, I haven't been to camp, but I would have thought Rivera would have made camp a little more serious, since he is a "no nonsense" kind of guy.

I am just wanting to see this team get better, and see Cam progress through the season.

As of now, I am going to say 7-9

With all due deference to our esteemed Emperor Zod, I hope you are wrong. Perhaps blind homerism is my chief character flaw, but I have to believe we can do better than that. I say six, possibly seven wins. Lax camp or not, a hugely improved O-line, a pounding set of RBs, and a linebacking corps that acts like wolves just introduced to red meat for the first time lead me to believe they have six or seven wins in them.

Will be checking out camp in the next few days and will be seeing if it stays the same. Different coaches do different things. Fox already ran a pretty serious camp with lots of physicality but based on the 3 winning seasons in 9 years it is hard to say that is more effective than one that is more laid back.

I suspect that the new rules are affecting camp and they all are less physical and more about board work and walk throughs. It will also be interesting to see if things change in the event we play poorly in preseason.

In any event I think that 5-11 is a safe bet at this point. Hard to expect more with the youth at such critical positions and short time to get prepared.

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
