Quote:When they take away the run game, the Panthers struggle because cam is not a very proficient passer too.
I get that, but they've had one game where they haven't rushed for 100+ yards, the Atlanta game where things got out of hand so fast, they had no other recourse. They are running the ball and doing so effectively, but maybe that's the only thing they are doing well.
Achilles must have gotten Newton mixed up with another QB to say that about him.

I wouldn't say running it well necessarily. Cam really helps with the run game but he can't take that many hits if they expect him to last.

Stewart has been out for three weeks. Makes a pretty big difference in our run game.
Quote:I know it's way early, but do you think Carolina drafts heavy DB again in 2017?
I would be surprised if they did. I can see them bringing in another CB - whether it's a vet or through the draft - but not going heavy. There are too many other holes. Besides, Bradbury was playing pretty well before his injury. I'm sure they're hoping throwing Worley to the first will help him out. He's been below average but not terrible.
Our issue, in my opinion, is our lack of pass rush. We are getting ZERO pressure. QBs have 5+ seconds to throw and it doesn't matter who your CBs are they aren't going to survive that. Plus it's making us have to blitz more. And even with the blitz we aren't getting pressure. So now our young CBs (we were down to practice squad guys this past weekend because of injuries) are literally young, not very good at the moment, and on an island. It's a terrible combo and that's why we can't stop anyone.
Of course Luke still leads the league in tackles....but that's all we've got going.

When is he expected to return?
Quote:Spicer, Hayward, and Henderson were all coming off very good years much like Kawan Short last year. But look at their edge rushers, they were hardly productive last year. Well their edge rushers are worse this year and teams are focusing more on Short. I wasn't saying our 08 team had as much talent but our 07 team did on the Dline and it regressed badly in 08 much like Carolinas has this year compared to last. They get good interior push but not much off the edge.
Short Star Davis Kuechley. That is the talent of that front 7 there isn't much else.
Ah Paul Spicer, and old favorite
Whelp, carolina is done and I am fine with Cam getting a lot less airtime. He is a lovable loser.

Wasn't he an assistant DL coach here for a few years?
Quote:Ummm....false
You think cam is a proficient passer?
Quote:No question.
Achilles is either blind or trolling. I don't know anyone else who thinks Cam is not a proficient passer.

He definitely isn't proficient in his press conferences after a loss though...
Quote:It's a joke, relax lol
Youre new here huh
? Youll get use to her, or block her like some have.
On topic: Man... I thought(like others have said) that with KB coming back that theyd look even better, I wasnt expecting their D to fall apart like it has. let alone be sitting with 1 win. So crazy how this can happen to anyone.
Cam is a good passer but if your team just isnt clicking youll have issues.

No one would be a good passer behind our Oline. It's amazing we still haven't done anything to protect this guy.

Jaguars fans know this to be truth way better than most.
I haven't watched you guys play this year but the vibe surrounding your squad based on what I read is that everyone save Luke seems to just be in a serious funk. I think/hope the bye does helps you guys overcome it.
