Cam is officially our starter!

I don't even want to consider the possibility Cam will fail, but this organization has already demonstrated that it is willing to make decisions to improve a position even if they have a rookie sitting in it from the previous year who could still improve but might not.

Far cry from the Fox days, isn't it?

Here's to every drive being as electric as his drive tonight.

That one drive is what I envisioned when I advocated for drafting Cam. Yes I know the preseason has been bumpy but that one drive in a microcosm is what I envision for Cam on a regular basis eventually. It will be a bumpy road getting there but if Cam can get to that point where he is completing even 58% of his passes and maintains that mobility he will be a hell of a QB. If he gets over 60% forget about it.

It may not happen this year but IMO when it finally clicks this guy will be very, very hard to stop.

Fox is a hell of a coach but just a little too vanilla and uninventive (made up word) for me. He would have no clue what to do with Cam Newton :lol:

But but but Rivera doesn't like starting rookie QBs!

JUST LOOK AT PHILLIP RIVERS

LOOK AT HIM

[Mr. Scot]

Rule changes made over the past several years really hurt Fox's game.

If we were still using the 2002-2003 rule book, he might be one of the better coaches in the league.

Sadly, adaptability was never his strong suit.

what the..:eek:

Still don't think he's ready, but if we're going all in...you gotta hope for the best. He will win some games for us with his legs, just hope he doesn't lose too many with his arm. I'm impressed with his arm strength and he does seem very poised though. Who knows, he may surprise me and be good this year (he will be good, I don't think there is any question about that...the only question is when).

Kurt Warner, clearly a bandwagon jumper of the "Cam won't succeed in the NFL" parade, claimed that Cam isn't ready. When asked why, he gave the same echo that many who don't want Cam to start have been chanting...The O-line isn't ready. So how does that make Cam not ready?

Dion Sanders said it best, Cam is a rookie. He isn't suppose to be "ready." The question is, which one would u trust to try and help make things happen with an O-line that isn't ready Cam or Clausen?

[footballisasport]

Need to get the completion % up, but not awful considering the situation. Plus half of that was without Smith and all but one drive without Otah.

As u guys have stated many times, the numbers don't always tell the true story.

Happy!

Im most impressed that he DIDNT throw an INT the whole preseason. For a rookie and a Carolina panther, thats GREAT.

[MadHatter]

Very, very nice scoring drive. Ran the ball well....Cam made plays with both his legs and his arm. Impressive indeed.

I would have like to see another series or two from him....can use all the reps we can get. However, I fully undertand the injury concern.

Cam will have rough spots and will make mistakes....all rookies do. But, that series showed what Panthers fans have to look forward to.

DA looked sharp as well. Nice to see that if Cam struggles, we actually do have a viable option in DA.

Clausen still sucks.

over 9 yards a carry? Not bad for a QB to have up his sleeve when protection breaks down and nobodys open downfield.

Which will probably happen a lot with our receivers. He'd really be fuged if not for Olsen and Shockey. If he keeps getting 9 yards a carry, we can replace all our WR's with linemen for all I care.
