Cam is not only big and strong and hard to tackle, able to shake guys off and still get the ball away (for example like Ben R. at Pittsburgh), but he's also got some jets he can use to get out of trouble and throw the ball out on the perimeter or maybe even run for positive yardage.

And... the Panthers exploit that in him by using a zone-read running game that makes him a constant threat to run. The RB usually gets the ball, but Cam can keep the ball and run it "his own self". The defense has got to stay honest and account for that in some way.

Run how many times in a game? I don't know, I've only seen the Panthers play once this season. If the QB runs too many times in a game his risk of getting hurt increases. But again, Cam is a big, strong dude. You've got to respect this guy's abilities. I'm not sure anyone in the NFL compares to him right now...

Guess you underestimated that Bronco defensive line on Cam, eh?
