Good read from ESPN for a change...

Quote

n Charlotte, Cam Newton has his Carolina Panthers undefeated and eying a Super Bowl. Just two hours down the road in Clemson, South Carolina, Deshaun Watson has the Tigers at 10-0 and atop the College Football Playoff rankings. It’s been a wild ride for both quarterbacks, and as the season has unfolded, they have relied on each other for support.

"I know he’s been up there grinding and working hard," Watson said, "and I’m the same way. We’re both watching each other and making sure, at the end of the day, we get the Ws."

The quarterbacks have been close since Watson played in Newton’s All-Star seven-on-seven camp during his junior year of high school in 2013. Watson was a rising star in the recruiting world, but it wasn’t his talent that caught Newton’s eye. It was his approach to learning.

"He was always eager, just like a sponge," Newton said. "He’s quiet, but always looking to see how he could make his game better."

The pair got to talking, and Watson soon found that Newton had the same approach. He wasn’t much of a talker, and he liked the grind, and he loved to learn. They clicked, and the friendship blossomed from there.

I really don't care to tie the Panthers winning streak to any other team or any other sport. 

I have heard the same thing about Cam and Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors, who are 19-0. 

They have absolutely nothing in common except the L column.  Let's let the Panthers do their thing being the only undefeated team in the NFL and leave it at that.  No need for anyone else to steal the spotlight or some of our thunder.

I LOL'd

I heard from a very reliable source that Cam and Steph had a deal that if The Warriors set a record at 19-0 in the NBA, that the Carolina Panthers would have to set their own record at 19-0.

That reliable source is as reliable as they come btw, it's me. If it sounds good andbriefs  well, then just go with it.

This is pretty cool. Maybe since i don't follow other teams i don't know this, but how many young QBs are Brady, Rodgers, or Manning mentoring like this? Cam is impacting so many young players, by time his career is over half the QBs in the NFL will have been mentored by Cam. Plus, think about all the other positions Cam will influence, like Kelvin being head over heels for Cam. More and more it'll be like a prize to come play with Cam.

      Panthers need to move on from Young ASAP

      By strato · Posted

      38 seconds in tells me he is full of poo and is spinning for clicks. You know how they say in court, where if they lie once you can assume they are lying always?  To me Riddick is doing a pretty spiteful thing I think, by putting those words in someone's mouth. Unless he knows that is true. Which I doubt. An honest person would not have said that to Tepper, so he basically assaulting Canales. It is not Canales' fault that Young will not adhere to the the coaching he was obviously given. And of course I am referring to that Buffalo series and the very noticeable footwork change. Evidence that he had the opportunity to be a better player but reverted to his wonky ass 'techniques'. Because it is fuging hard not to. But that is still on Young for not getting that done. And unless he gets it done he is just a fraud. A wannabe NFL quarterback, playing at it. I mean NFL quarterbacks are kicking his ass, even the rookies.  If he works to change this steadily he may be able to get it ingrained in a couple more months. That is as optimistic as I can be for him.  Riddick though, I don't don't listen to sports talk any more except what youtube clips I like but I used to think pretty highly of him. This is pretty sad, to see this scapegoating.  I can put words into Canales mouth too: "Mr Tepper, I have a pretty good feel for working with these guys, and have had some luck with it. You know Baker pretty well. That's my work with him.  But I have to be honest, I'm not sure i can promise I can fix Bryce. He has many challenges. There are things we can do to help but so much of it is up to him. If he is willing to listen and work, I am sure we can make him a better QB. How good will be up to him."   blah blah blah blah

      When dementia gripped my grandmother (and eventually took her), we each spent time with her and would try to correct her to what was reality and what wasn't. It was very tough on my Dad who she lived with for as long as they could care for her.  It seemed like she had become detached from her own timeline and would slide up and down it wildly. As my Dad said, "somedays I'm me to her, somedays I'm my Dad, somedays I'm her father, somedays I'm just the guy who works here. I tried correcting her but it just upset her. I found out that the best thing is to just not correct her and let her live out where ever and whenever she is."  And I'm not going to lie, it gets tough and eventually they leave their own timeline and it becomes unmanageable. Hold on to yourself and the ones you love through it all. Prayers for you and yours, man.
