If by “trying to do too much” Rivera is referring to the GQ cover and launching a clothing line with Belks on Monday, then he is doing too much. Not focused on football.

Is “Sherm” the guy that got body-slammed three or four times by 5′ 8″ Steve Smith?

Cam’s teammates should thank him for taking all of the heat. It’s funny how we have no reporting about how poorly the rest of the team is playing. It’s disappointing that none of his teammates have really had his back. They are letting him take his share of the blame and their share of the blame. This is the worst tackling defense in football, and…silence.

After watching yesterday’s game, I saw three offensive problems with the Panthers. First, the offensive line played terrible. For the fifth week in a row. Second, the Panthers miss Jeremy Shockey and they overestimated the impact their young wide receivers would have on the offense. They should sign Plaxico Burress to give Cam another target in the passing game. Third, teams are double teaming Steve Smith and the running game is struggling. Plus, expectations were too high for this team in the preseason.
Cam can be blamed for some of his passes but he is not playing with a stacked deck.
Just an outside observation by a Texans fan. Go Texans.

Or it could be that he just sucks and is not an NFL caliber QB. The Panthers should trade him to the Jets so he can sit and learn behind Tebow. LOL

Oh, for chrissakes! The Panthers are not running a pro-style offense, or even a college-style offense. I watch every game and all I am seeing is a high school-style offense. Cam is that dude on your high school team that would call then coach’s play in the huddle, and then after the ball was snapped, turn it into a QB sneak or a QB sweep. Can we just go into our time machine and sign/draft some o-lineman and DB’s like we should have? I’m not saying it’s all Cam’s fault either – the Chud-cat offense is a joke!

What’s wrong with you nfl media types he is in his second year and he broke records in his first year. Lay off the kid I would take cam over the the noodle arm Andrew luck a millions times over.

P.S. don’t talk about lucks throws in the dome don’t forget it’s a dome it is perfect conditions.

Funny how seattle’s D gets no credit for shutting down an explosive player like Newton. True, he is almost the only weapon in Carolina, but the way he was completely dominated is a matter of note for seattle.

Our problem is we have no consistent balance on offense. When the running game goes stagnant, so does our offense.

What we really need is another wideout to compliment Smitty.

his stats from last year: 21 TD and 17 INT.

stats from this year: 2 TD and 5 INT .

on pace to finish with: 7 TD and 16 INT.

Is it possible he was a little overrated coming off last year – looks like defenses have figured him out.

On the team when you few players showing passion to rid themselves of the losing name tag it has to be frustrating when to see players not play up to their level on a constant basis. ( see their Thursday night performance against the Giants)

I feel like Cam forgets that he has two good running backs. The offense is entirely placed on Cam’s shoulders. Before Cam, Deangelo williams was a Beast, now he can’t sniff 20 yards a game?

Of course, the defense is terrible, the offensive line can’t block, and the receivers aren’t very good outside of Steve smith and Greg Olsen. So he feels the need to carry the team, which he has to do if we want to win.

I’d be rattled too if I saw Red Bryant headed right for me while wondering if Chris Clemmons or Bruce Irvin were about to crush me in my back.

Seahawks fan here… We have a good defense because they tackle. IMO tackling is your biggest issue. Im a Cam fan he’s the LeBron of football.

Uh, isn’t it the coach’s job to get a player to “stop pressing” and throw intelligently?

Who’s running the offense? Cam “White Towel” Newton or the coaches?

Geesh.

cam is in a funk… panthers need to run the ball more…
without cam firing… they are probably the worst team in the league…

Somethings seems off with Cam, the guy is an amazing athlete, I was one of those people that wanted him to prove he can play on Sundays and he can.

It just seems after losses, his attitude is terrible, and I think it has started to carry into the next week on the field.
