I’m listening to Panther’s nation melt down before my ears on WFNZ Wilson and Parcell show as I write this.
Interesting tidbits:
Under 3 yards in the last few years, Cam has run 103 times, next closest QB is 38.
Cam has 22 off target passes in first two games. Worst in NFL. ( Though nobody has played the second week yet.)
“ Tank for Tua” talk has already started.
Bench Cam for the remainder of season( a la Luck) talk has started.
Hurney’s Decision to not have a qualified back up is being scorned.
Luck sucked to start last year and then found his ability by the end of season after shoulder surgery.
IMO, Cam has never looked this bad.
He’s clearly hesitant to run. I say this after watching him get tackled on 4/1 by a single player. In the past Cam would have obliterated anyone in his path, taking on multiple players and refusing to go down. Ironically, that was his downfall. Bodies can only take so much of a pounding.
His passing has not been the same since 2015 when he put himself on the line physically. I didn’t want to believe that was the high water mark for him but I believe now that it was.
Cautionary tale: Protect Josh Allen by getting him an O line and coach him up to slide feet first and DO NOT make read option a part of our offense. I think McBeane have taken that to heart.
I will not be surprised if Rivera and Hurney are gone next year. With their Cap situation, this team may get blown up depending on Cam’s remaining play and who they bring in as a GM.
