Trent Dilfer: " I'm ashamed of what the Panthers are doing to Cam".

I was just about to post this! I thought Dilfer and Young were going to go ham on Cam, But they actually made some damn good points. For the people not understanding what Dilfer was saying, he wasn't knocking Cam. He was knocking our coaching staff and organization for not developing him that right way and not giving him the necessary weapons. Steve Young even said that we had one of the worst O-line's he has ever seen. The FO better get on their game this offseason, they are starting to be put on notice.

I think he's spot on, I thought the idea of hiring Shula Offensive Cordinator was a terrible idea at the time. And everything that's happened this season, is every fear I had fulfilled.

The only thing I can't figure out is if this was so obvious, and such a large portion of the Fanbase knew this. I'm wondering why Rivera and DG haven't figured that out yet.

He was pouting. It was stupid. The only thing that outmatched it was Ray Lewis' archaic "maturity" rant.

this is the worst part about MNF. having to watch this channel.

 

Did you not understand what they were trying to get across? And Ray Lewis was talking about Cam is more mature now ON A BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE.

Oh he should hush up. Where was he during Cam's first three games? It was after that that he started playing like poo but he can't discredit the strides he made at the beginning of the season.

Dilfer has been one of the loudest Newton supporters in the media throughout Cam's short career.

    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
    • I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
