Your way is wrong.

I am not agreeing or disagreeing, but in no way is sitting a QB for a year or two wrong. It also may not be right either.

QB's that come into the league that are more ready to play, for goodness sakes, play them. That however is very rare. For QB's like Newton that are a work in progress, IMO it's bad to throw them into the fire.

Out of my top 5 QB's in the league, just one started as a rookie. That has to account for something.

Not much difference in starting him now vs. week 6.

I am not a big believer in ruining QBs.....either you got it or don't. Bust rate typically is the same regardless. Only difference is you see the learning curve on the Sundays vs. it being out of sight. I think QBs mature quicker playing on Sunday vs. the practice field.

OL, RB, and receiving options should be good enough to play a rookie and see if he is cut out for the NFL. It is suppose to be ugly early regardless.....

Who are your top 5 QB's in the NFL?

just means they had a Pro Bowl QB already on their teams roster.....otherwise they too would have started.

"technically" we have one....but none of the others being referred to had a 2010 type season like Anderson prior to that rookie being drafted.

No, it means that they are the best in the business, and they sat for at least 1 season, and sometimes more.

Manning

Brady (Bledsoe was a 3 time Pro Bowler)

Rodgers (Favre was a 10 time Pro Bowler)

Rivers ( Brees had a Pro Bowl season and was the 1st of many to come)

Brees (Pro Bowler Doug Flutie)

yes they sat, they sat b/c there teams have better options to put on the field. We don't have a QB comparable to Bledsoe, Favre, Brees, or Flutie.......therefore Cam finds himself in Manning's situation.

No, they sat b/c there teams had options at QB that were better than a rookie starting.

We don't have someone comparable to Bledsoe, Favre, Brees, or Flutie on the roster. If we did, Cam would sit.

Those teams didn't put a QB who was one of the bottom 2 in the NFL the year before out on the field ahead of there rookie draft picks.

I would rather see Cams mechanics improve before throwing him to the wolves.I know all the fans want Cam but as noted by Mr Scott he is more likely to regress under live fire,We have to remember the very limited training camp make it impossible to compare Cam to other rookie Qbs that started in the past.

I was not excited when I heard we picked up Anderson but feel it would best to start him intially and let Cam enter the fray when the coaches feel he is ready.BTW.....I do not think this will happen. I feel we are missing a number of key conponets to be conpetetive so why not do it right,

I don't necessarily disagree with the analysis of the OP except I don't know how you can say with that Derek Anderson is the best QB option on the roster right now or even the guy who should start with such limited reps he has had in practice and the preseason.

Is this year about winning, or is it about rebuilding?

I is confused.

Because if we are going to lose we might as well lose with Derek Anderson

We have a new HC, new OC, and DC, .....and just drafted Newton #1 overall. How are you confused?

We started phase one of rebuilding last year, this is the 2nd phase.

      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!
