No. Go listen to it the whole way through.

The question was can Cam carry a team, and Dilfer said essentially he wasn't good enough for coaches to trust him in crucial moments

[KendrickPanther]

I think you guys are making way too much of what Dilfer said. He was asked a question in a radio interview and just blurted out an answer. That's like asking a Kansas City fan about Cam's performance when all the guy saw was 2 highlights and a box score.

[MadHatter]

Funniest part of this thread is that some of you ACTUALLY care what Trent freakin Dilfer thinks.  They guy has been irrelevant his entire career

Dilfer is irrelevant.

 

As one of many unfair Cam critics on ESPN, Dilfer is relevant.

 

They should not be allowed to continuously slander Cam without a response as if he's ever done anything so terrible that he should be despised by them like he is. He's proving them wrong, and they can't stand it. They want so badly to say, "I told you so" just like many fools in Charlotte want to be able to do. If Rivera was a player's coach, he'd put some of those tools at ESPN in their place for once.

I guess these quotes by Dilfer on Cam weren't serious then

Pre-2011 draft

Dilfer: NFL will drool over Cam

 

"A few things jumped out at me," Dilfer said. "First of all, his physical prowess, his stature. I mean, Cam Newton is a giant, giant man. He dwarfed me, and I'm 6-4, 240 pounds. Just the presence was amazing. 

"The other thing was how the ball jumped off his hand. This is a guy that has a powerful arm. George Whitfield, his quarterback coach, has done a masterful job, coaching him from the feet up. He showed great balance. He showed great foot energy, as he did drop back and take snaps from under center. 

"The third thing is that he has quarterback-passer DNA, and that's the thing we weren't sure about him because he was such a great athlete. This is a guy that in his workout threw about 30 very challenging throws, and each one of those throws he kept his eyes down the center of the football field, spun his eyes back to the perimeter and delivered the ball early with anticipation.This is a gifted, gifted passer."

And Dilfer's a water-boy who lucked out and played qb... and not very well.

I think you need to go back and read/listen to everything Dilfer has said on Cam. No one in the media has been a bigger fanboy than Dilfer.

He isn't a hater

[OriginalPantherDan]

lol

when Cam is throwing the ball they wonder why he isn't running the ball. When he is running the ball they wonder why he hasn't progressed as a passer.

you can't win when it comes to Cam and the way he plays and I have a feeling it will always be that way.

Jangler, you are 1000% spot-on with this one. I won't speculate why so many ride Cam like a rented mule, but he gets more than his fair share of derision for a guy who OWNS much of the early-career records in the NFL.

[grateflday]

A RB in a QB Jersey... LOL and  ....... what running back throws the ball 46 times and completes 29 for 284 yds,  2 TD's and 1 Int in a game.

 

[IceWhiteice]

People Cam is exciting but Dilfer is sorta right. Cam can't read D like Russell or throw consistently. Lets go Panthers

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

What did Cowhrerd and Dilfer say about Cam? Can anyone recap for me

It is better to listen to it. I know he has said good things about Cam in the past, but the question posed to Dilfer was specifically about Cam and if he is a guy who can carry a team.

Dilfer was talking about Cam, not the coaches. He was saying the coaches don't trust him in crucial situations.

When I first heard about the comments I waited until I heard actual audio, because like you said, he has had nice things to say about him before. But after listening to it, there is really no other way to interpret it

[carolina-chuck]

I thought Dilfer was the guy who said Cam's pro day was as good as he had seen it.
