Gun vs Under Center

I dont know what the stats are for Chuds offense and the percentage we ran our plays from the gun, but I dont believe there's any doubt that plays to Cam's strengths.  Shula wants to traditionalize the offense to more power run, playaction type stuff which will benefit our runningbacks... that is if the line can make lanes.  Well, so far in three games, that hasnt been the case.

 

Other than the lines inability to block decently, at least thus far, does anyone else think that taking snaps under center may be a weakness for Cam?  I don't want to think so but something is up.  We've seen more erratic throws than normal this preseason and I'm just trying to find out where the root of the problem is stemming from.

He looked ok under center last year.

I'm thinking on passing downs he should line up 15 yards back and let Jansen snap it to him. Then he might have a second to throw.

Of course, with this O-line, the opposing DEs might get to Cam before the ball does or intercept the snap.

In the shotgun, I Cam's odds to protect himself MUCH better.

Cam has been clear, his danger is in the pocket....and I agree.

OL can't open up holes therefore I think against a tough D....he needs to see plenty of shotgun

Definitely. I for one wish we would take a page from New England, Philly, and even Baltimore tonight and run more no huddle hurry up offense.  Cam's best drive tonight was during the 2 minute drill. If Lafell catches the ball I believe we score a TD. Philly's no huddle ate us alive and the Ravens first drive also. I'm not saying we do it all game like a Chip Kelly, K-Gun style offense(though I think it would be better than Foxball with this oline) but we should do it ALOT more than just after the 2 minute warning. We see how it puts pressure on our defense to stop it, why aren't we doing that to other teams? Hopefully we do come week 1.

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
