He's just got to learn to slide instead of taking the hits!

the coaches and players have mentioned that he literally doesn't know how to slide...thats why you see him either fall forward or fall down/slip awkwardly. But I think he has done a good job of getting out of bounds or going down on his runs except for that play last week but thats just his competitive side. If he thinks he can score, he is definitely going to try.

I wouldn't mind seeing him dealing a hit though. Luck does it ;)

I actually like the way he uses his hands to push guys down to the ground. It might be asking for it, but I wouldn't mind seeing him bend down and just nail a defender with his shoulder pads....just as long as it's on one of the last plays of the game and against an AFC team we're not going to face again any time soon.

I forget who, but a few years ago some team brought in a pro baseball player just to teach their quarterback how to slide.

Maybe we should go that route :lol:

He's certainly not Michael Vick fast but he's extremely agile and elusive for someone his size.

I'll take that.

I don't know if I'd user the term elusive. More like unstoppable. Defenders always see him on the field and usually get a hand on him....he just doesn't really seem to care.

I was most impressed the other week on a play where one of the Redskins Dman had his hands on his shoulder being held by someone, maybe Stewart, and Cam was still just kind of minding his own business and completing the throw. Like "yeah yeah I know this is where I'm supposed to go down but....just hang on a second...let me get this throw off first".

haha we should...I think its just that he has such a big frame that it just feels awkward for him sliding appropriately and that he has never really been told to do it in the past so he never had to learn.

that might be a good thing.

probably one of the things they'll have him do in the offseason.

His running ability has really helped us extend drives and put points on the board. I agree, we havent even seen the tip of the iceberg of what he can do rushing the football. I think he has a strong chance to break the TD record and post 1,000 yards in a future season.

I don't think he will ever come close to a 1000 yard season....his mental makeup doesn't appear to natually want to run enough for that.

I would just like to see him one game unleash it.....which he clearly hasn't done.

QBs slide when b/c they know they can't beat a defender.....

If Cam is in the open field or at a goalline....realistically....why should he slide much? Cam can beat just about anyone one on one....then on to the next. He seems to have a good feel of when to go down.

he ran over a DB for Cincinnati on his TD run in the preseason.

      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!
