I'd be fine with the second. Not the first. But I think those are hopeful wishes. No one can really say how he's going to pan out. It's up to the individual. His ambition, attitude, dedication and ability to overcome his own psyche. Last one is his biggest enemy right now, and it's usually most QBs' biggest enemy.

Farve had this issue too. He didn't get scared or frustrated as much as sloppy and started forcing the ball late in the game. He started slinging it without the mechanics and properfoot work. Especially towards the end of his career. Never seen a QB with as many years of solid play, turn into such a horrible passer like Bret Farve and throw so many passes off his back foot in those situations. He would give up the basics in a heartbeat and it would cost his team the game.

* we do well when creative plays are called......poorly if we go to "safe" mode.

* the first INT was a mental mistake, trying to force a pass that, even if completed, would not in all likelihood would not have led to significant gain (i.e. not worth the risk)

* I don't blame Mare.... but it seems obvious to me that he does have issues with high pressure situations. It will not be easy to fix

Both of them do. The only one that doesn't seem to be bothered and is calm as a monk is Rivera. Which is kind of weird. Never seen a coach so calm in the face of so many mistakes. And personally I maintain that the last turnover is what matters. Not the first pick or the second, or third. The last. Whether by fumble, pick, or turnover on downs and getting stopped. That's what matters most in every game. Finishing.

So no "Rookie Wall" the first half but it hit him the second half.

Got it.

imo, what you're seeing is a kid who has been working basically non stop since February getting tired as games wear on. He's pumped for the start of a game, but he has trouble coming out after the half because there's a break in the action. it takes him time to get back into it and get pumped up, which is why he usually does have a couple decent drives later on in the game, but struggles early in the 2nd half.

I see a change in play calling ie a loss of aggression and a defense that gave up 24 points in the second half.

If you want to say this thin defensive unit gets tired in the second half that makes sense to me. Blaming this loss on Cam and a "rookie wall" is...........

better just to hold my tongue.

Loss was due to many things but Cam looks off in the 2nd half and there are times where he does look tired. I don't think this loss was due to "the rookie wall" though, but it may have played some part. More that he gets a bit tired, Chud sees that, adjusts play calling to lean on others. Sometimes it's fine and effective, but when the run game isn't breaking off huge chunks, it's a problem. Combine that with a missed FG and a defense that got exhausted and beaten bad late in the game and you have a recipe for disaster.

Defense is very thin. Depth is a huge problem. We have virtually none of it.

    • 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. 
    • 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!
