A long article pretty much telling us we should have just drafted Justin Fields and signed Andy Dalton or something. This team is so dumb.

It's maybe a top 20 moment. It hits the list. But let's be real the team is 5-5 and there are many better moments that had a greater impact on the team than this.

For sure. But I think Reddick is getting a nice 3 year deal out of this season. I don't see Gilmore coming back unless he takes that sweet hometown discount to keep his wife happy. DJ Moore needs an extension but the price for him is tough to determine. Is he a top 10 WR? There's a lot of good ones out there right now. Someone would give him big money other than the Panthers. But I think you gotta keep him. Would have been awesome to get Cam on a two year deal but I think he might be a candidate for 1 year extensions from here on out. The one getting the tag might honestly be Donte Jackson. Seems like a guy who thinks he's worth more than the Panthers might be willing to pay him. He's become a solid player but has an injury prone history. I think he'd be better on the tag.

Very underrated reason the team is playing better

Cam is back this is real life. I’m so happy.

That’s a man you’ll follow his leadership. Sam Darnold? Hell no.

It is Sam Darnold’s fault. There were too many times he missed open throws with a clean pocket

I missed this. Guys this is real. I just pinched myself.

Huge

Cam is 1 year younger than me I think he’s genuinely a strange dude

He was OC of the Giants for 2 years literally as soon as he left the Panthers. Not saying he was good but he was still an OC

Cam couldn’t save Mike Shula and those teams made the playoffs

who is CMC Jr and Bruno Mars

I mean if THIS is the case then picking up the option was a no brainer. It's a no risk high reward situation if he pans out.

lol man, I posted about how happy I was that Cam was back yesterday. It was a desperately needed move on a team that has admittedly gotten pretty miserable. Now I'm thinking about how much better it would be if Cam had Dan Arnold to throw to and a 3rd round pick next year to beef up a pathetic offensive line instead of yet another corner on a team that seems hell bent on collecting them. Everyone is touting the "buy low" aspect on Henderson but lest we forget that the Jaguars gave up on this guy 1 year after drafting him in the top 10. What did they know that the Panthers didn't? Even the Jaguars aren't stupid enough to give up on a guy that fast unless something was seriously wrong. I'll bump this thread next year when Henderson gets cut in training camp because he doesn't give a sh*t.

Otherwise he gets cut. Some other team will sign him as a backup I'm sure. He's getting that money either way but to stay with the Panthers they'd have to redo that contract.

this is probably why Rhule expresses frustration when the offense gets blamed for losses

I was just thinking, watch how effective the red zone offense is now. Wish Royce Freeman had worked out, could have been J-Stew 2.0. Really like Abdullah so far though.

I hope Cam can give us a good season or so. 16 more games. He finishes out this season strong and can play into next year before giving way to a rookie. But sadly I think we might need him even longer than that. Darnold might still be serviceable as a backup but he has to rip up his contract and sign a backup one.

Problem is they didn’t give up just a 3rd it was also a starting caliber TE that had chemistry with a shaky QB. For a guy who isn’t playing and might never play due to lack of desire or mental health. My gripe is giving up yet another high draft pick for a reclamation project player. That’s a 2nd and a 4th for Darnold (failure) and a 3rd and starter for CJ Henderson. Two players dumped by the teams that drafted them.

We needed hope and Cam brings it. They were so dumb for not drafting Justin Fields. None of us would have been so empty of hope if there was a rookie QB taking his lumps this season.

I’m just gonna go ahead and mark this trade under FAILURE. It was a total knee jerk move to replace Jaycee Horn and it has failed. CJ Henderson has barely seen the field and has been a healthy scratch on game days. Rumor has it he doesn’t care about football. When are we going to see this guy play? Next year? Never? Meanwhile, Dan Arnold continues to improve on the Jaguars and had started developing a nice rapport with Sam Darnold. Also giving away a 3rd round pick stings even more. Keith Taylor is a rookie quickly ascending into starting caliber corner. AJ Bouye came back from his suspension and has played average. Rashaan Melvin has played similarly. And lest we forget they traded for Stephon Gilmore too. Henderson doesn’t fit in the CB room now. I’d rather have that 3rd round pick and Dan Arnold right now. Side note I wish this team would throw resources at the offensive line like they have at cornerbacks

Shaq plays defense he likes Cam I’m sure but they’re beating it to death right now

Cam has to be a captain right?
