Cam is not ready

[HPPantherzfan]

Call me when Cam plays defense and plays on the offensive line.

Doesn't matter, he isn't to blame for all of it, but you guys slobbering right now realize what his passing stats are and how he looked against that BENGALS

To be honest, even if the play calls were terrible you still have to make the plays and he flat out didn't...did you see the balls in the dirst (again) or over thrown?

Good thing Olsen is 7 foot tall.

Cam need a little but of Jimmy Clausen in him. :eek: :eek:

After watching Clausen all of last year there is a natural disdain in this fan base for checking down but Cam is the extreme opposite. It seems like he is trying to break off 30+ yard gains on every pass.

He is going to learn that he has to take what the defense gives him.

But it is preseason I am not going to claim defeat of victory until the end of the season once we see if he is progressing or if he is still having games like tonight.

Can I change my predictions for a successful season for Cam.

These threads are gonna make excellent bump material later in the season. :D

Agree with the OP. Way too raw right now. Our abysmal o-line play isn't helping, but Cam is incredibly inaccurate.

O Line was bad last year yet Clausen should sit?

I was responding to someone's post.

U are so contrdicting urself.

So Cam should sit because it's not so much that he's bad but the O-line is bad. So until the O-lin gets better then Cam should play...Got it.

Actually given time I expect this o-line to solidify. It tends to start slow and improve with time. I think the same thing will happen this year, and by then, Cam will have more practice time under his belt and will be more capable of carrying the load a bit and making defenses pay when they stack the box to stop our run game.

edit: also our offense is NOT rookie QB friendly supposedly, this was reported near the draft and it was dismissed, but what if it's true?

plus I generally prefer to sit first rounders for a few games... but eh, I admit I could be wrong and I hope he can really learn on the job.

A bit over reacting much..

[Spaceballs83]

I watched every game last season and i still believe Cam is our best bet for winning. Atleast he shows flashes when running. What is Clausen going to do when he tries to run? Yep..get sacked right away.

[rico6]

Exactly like Teeray said. Cam needs to take what the D gives him.

If nothing is open, his ass needs to run. If he has someone open underneath, while the top is covered, he needs to dump it off.

He's just trying way too hard to play like something he's not.. yet

I wonder if he's being coached into that, or if it's a mental thing.

[The Saltman]

I really hope Cam becomes the star we all are wanting. I just don't see it right now. If he is smart he will after the offseason, go to the panthers facilities and work on his mechanics and fundamentals of the game. I think he is smart enough to learn the offense properly and is has a good work ethic.

55% might have been generous at this point :lol:

But are you buying me the jersey?

Oh like that "Vince Young will be a starter this year" thread where you called everyone a racist for saying VY wasn't wanted by ANY GM in the league as a starter?

Gotcha.

A bit over reacting much..

No, he is amazingly inaccurate. That's a fact. He is not accurate. No way around it.

it did look like cam was going for home run shots too often... not taking what was available underneath...
