2020 Carolina Panthers - New Season New Thread for 2021

Pilch, I agree the NFL might start, but I don't see it getting far. Nearly 1/3 of the league is in CA, AZ, TX, FL and GA, and training camps are supposed to start in under a month. Even if you expand rosters, a handful of positive tests will essentially shut a team down. In other sports, you can postpone a number of games and make them up. That's way less doable in football. So let's say in mid September, 20 Bucs test positive. They're done for at least 2 weeks. Do you play without them? How many teams being out for 2+ weeks is enough to shut it all down? The southern states have just fucked things up too much to have the possibility of pulling it off. The only way I see it happening is delaying the season a bit and taking the most promising of the vaccines and have the NFL be part of the expanded test group. And here's the other problem that you don't have with NBA players - don't most all of your O and D linemen qualify as an at risk group?
 
Belichick is a cheat, but it will be interesting how he uses a running QB.
 
lol, Felger

 
cam is going to be so awesome as a pat, i know it. and i will be very conflicted.

i hope he has a tremendous year with the pats, but the overall pats team stinks. then cam signs a huge deal with the jaguars, and does awesome. but the panthers win 10 super bowls in a row.

How many Black QBs have started for the Pats? All I remember is Brissett during deflate-gate.
 
Started? Not sure of any besides Brissett.

Rohan Davey and Michael Bishop are a couple other black QBs they've had that come to mind.

I am bullish on Cam and have been all offseason. It's amazing that teams out there would rather do things like pay Philip Rivers $25M, or Teddy Bridgewater/Ryan Tannehill/etc. $20+M over taking a chance on 31 year-old Cam (for likely < $15M in most cases). I think he's going to be good and look healthy, but this WR/TE corps blows.
 
If he has his old zip on his throws, he's way better than Rivers or Bridgewater. Especially Rivers - he looked done last year. FWIW, I really like the VT TE Keene. I think he'll be a good H-back type TE.
 
I don't see how they have a normal competition in camp. Either you completely redo the playbook for Cam and he is the starter or you stick with Stidham and he is the starter. Like Stidham knows the old Brady playbook and a variation of that, thats so different from Cam's skillset that its not an equal competition if he is asked to learn and try that.

Ain't no competition as long as Cam's shoulder is okay.

Way better than Teddy B who has a 10% higher winning percentage than Cam and completes 8+% more of his passes? Team/sample size comparison is obviously far from apples to apples, but still. And this is coming from someone who loves Cam/wished we still had him.

Bridgewater has started 34 games in his career. Of course that's due to a serious injury, but you still can't make a winning percentage comparison between the two. The accuracy comparison is more fair, but you also have to figure in Teddy's 4 (count em, 4) career rushing touchdowns.
 
Also its definitely a competition if Cam is asked to stand in the pocket and make accurate short yardage throws to receivers that change their routes based on the defense in comparison to a redesigned playbook. I do think the Pats were scrapping the over complex monstrosity that came about from years of Brady so the offense will probably be completely different. If Cam doesn't win the starting job I bet he asks out and is freely released.
