What does Cam have to do

[GritsRgreat]

Simple - He needs to 1) outperform his rookie peers, 2) throw more touchdowns than interceptions, and 3) put the team in a position to win games whether they do or not.

On the first point, this comes with the territory of being the #1 pick in the draft. Picks #1 and #2 last year were offensive and defensive rookies of the year, respectively. The Panthers should expect something similar.

this is a good post.

i just want to see improvement from week to week. that's something Jimmy never did and why i hate jimmy so damn much. if he goes out there and just gets a little better each week then i'd be more than thrilled.

Someones absence is deafening

improvement from week to week

more scores than turnovers

start all 16 games

complete at least 55% of passes

would be a pretty good season for a rookie QB with no offseason if you ask me

wow a lot of you guys really have no perspective on what to look for in developing QBs

To be fair Jimmy didn't get any help last season. He's looked better this year because the coaches and players actually give a dam now.

do tell

[Marguide]

5+ wins

2-1 TD to INT ratio

60 percent or better on completions

Commanding grasp of this offense

I don't know if there has ever been a rookie QB to achieve a 2 to 1 TD to INT ratio. Sam Bradford didn't. Josh Freeman didn't. Ben Roethlisberger didn't.

I haven't checked them all, but I think you are setting yourself up for disappointment on this one.

Edit: After a bit of research, Dan Marino was better than 2 to 1. He is the only one I have found.

if he can manage the game well enough to allow us to score around 18-20 points per game I'll be happy.

No Sports Reporters?

He is just a rookie with no OTAS!

Being able to move the offense down field, and not making ugly mistakes. Show progress through the season. Continue to work hard

Improvement is the word I would choose.

Stats are meaningless as I posted in the other thread where you got this question from. If you hard pressed me for his numbers I would have to take some time to think about it and I'd like you to post yours as well.

I prefer not to form my opinions on a player's performance from their fantasy numbers the past week.
