[redbuddha]

So we need to cut Newton and start clausen.

I'm not bitching, just pointing the finger where it belongs because it keeps being pointed everywhere else but him when it comes to winning and who is costing us games and that's just annoying and hypocritical because his inability to score 4th quarter points and finish the game is actually the main reasons we're losing.....but...just 6 games? First of all it's 10 games if you include pre-season, which do count towards experience but didn't Panther fans bitch about Moore after just 1 game last year because of his 4th quarter pick? Wasn't he benched after 2 because of back to back 4th quarter pics that kept us from winning those games? Even though he had a string of back to back wins before that. And how many did Clausen get before everyone started bitching?

Don't get me wrong, neither one of those guys measure up to Cam, but sooner or later Cam needs to be held accountable for the losses, not just the rest of the team even if he has an excuse of being a rookie. Being a rookie gives him a break with mistakes, but it doesn't mean he's not one of the main reasons for our losses. It also doesn't mean he's exempt from having to show improvement until 2012. So yeah he should be showing improvement after 6 games.

If being a rookie means no one can blame him for the loss than I suggest everyone stops blaming everybody else, and let's wait and see how this defense and special teams do whenever Cam decides to play a complete game. See if we still lose the game when he stops throwing 2 pics a game and starts scoring in the 4th quarter. Because at least so far I have noticed better running, better catching and better special teams. Defense is pretty much the same but they did a much better job containing Turner compared to Forte. I have not noticed better QB play compared to day 1 of the season. If the guy most responsible for the losses and showing least improvement is exempt, then the rest of the team should catch a break too. You can bitch about those sides when they get progressively worse. But so far all the other areas of this team have shown some improvement while our QB just had his worse day of the season.

Ur postings read like this guy who was always picking apart everything Cam did in a attempt to make his argument that Cam wasn't a good QB...Turns out he was a fan who was upset that the team traded Moore...Are u that guy? Ur postings sure nuff read like it.

The team traded Moore?

What did we get in return?

[Davidson Deac II]

1st pick: not his fault

2nd pick: once-in-a-career play by a defensive lineman

3rd pick: end of the game trying to make something out of nothing

So I'm not worried at all about the INT's I'm worried about our defense.

The first pick was not a good throw. He should have waited a split second longer. But I can live with it. The second pick was a terrible throw that came at the worst possible time. A soft lob that was a relatively easy catch for the dlineman. I agree with you about the third.

Cam has exceeded all expectations, no doubt about it. But just like anyone else on the team, he deserves criticism when he makes a mistake. And he has made several key ones over the last three weeks that hurt us. He is a rookie, and the mistakes don't really bother me that much because of the potential, but that doesn't mean we completely absolve him of any blame while dumping on any other player who makes a mistake.
