Purely my opinion, but I think we should be thankful jacktards like this still churn out this crap to the mass media - it only fires up the team even more.  Since every week gets tougher when you are 10-0, more motivation from the media is always welcome in my book.

This article is from June 2015....not sure why you are posting this now, seeing how it's (a) so old and (b) has nothing to do with how Cam is currently playing

Im fully aware when the article was printed. Just pointing out how wrong the writer was and Cam is worth every penny of his contract. The writer has written other misinformed articles on Cam and the Panthers.

But isn't the majority of prediction/reaction/opinion articles wrong at some point??  I mean I could probably Google 600 articles from 2011 till recently that have all kinds of negative predictions and reactions.

my favorite part is when people tweet out wrong stats when making points.

Like the Cam is 1-6 in primetime/playoff games in his career.  Heck, without even looking it up I can name the AZ game, Pats on MNF, Philly on MNF. 

That is 3 wins just looking at MNF and playoffs when he tweeted that.  I would have to look research Sunday Night games b/c I can't remember those.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
