Interesting take about the Panthers

Carolina Panthers

It's easy to pile on Cam Newton and I'm not defending his insipid press conference after losing to New Orleans on Sunday, though I do believe the behavior comes out of a genuine hatred of losing. Here's what one scout who dissected the game film of the Panthers/Saints on Sunday told me: "That kid is special. The defense can't stop anybody and they fall behind bid and he keeps fighting his ass off and he gets no help and they still tie the game at 38. The hits he took and the way he hung in there and then you have [Devin] Funchess, who sucks, dropping balls and even [Kelvin] Benjamin is dropping balls he should catch. If I'm the QB there I am ripping all of their asses in that locker room after the game. He's standing in there taking a high-low shot and making a perfect pass and they can't catch it? Yeah, I'd be frustrated after the game, too."

Funchess was dropping balls?

But he keeps hurtin' muh feelings with his press conferences, and the hats he wears.

Ahyuckyuckyuckyuckyuck.

But he didn't smile after the game. 

I think everybody can pretty much admit he genuinely hates to lose and we can also admit that Cam gives more than his all more times than not. Sunday was particularly bitter because he brought them from a 21-0 deficit and tied the game. Gano missed a PAT at the end and the defense couldn't stop anyone. Frustrated surely, but I would be pissed.

God this is going to be a brutal bye week around here.

Was listening to the Dan LeBatard show earlier and they had a guy on who analyzes quarterbacks. He said Cam was the #2 quarterback being held back by his supporting cast behind Aaron Rodgers. And that's in a MVP year. I think the stat was receivers left around 800 yards on the field. Most from Ginn of course.

It's interesting that it seems like everyone in the NFL outside of us thinks Funchess sucks-- bad.

In the first two or three quarters he had some pretty bad drops. He caught a couple gimmes toward the end of the game to make up for it, but yea he was playing terrible prior to the TD reception.

Maybe he meant Funchess was letting guys half his size body him and failed to be a WR

Most people think Ted Ginn sucks bad too.  Except for us.

[LinvilleGorge]

If it wasn't for all of the preseason hyping, most on this forum would've already accepted that Funchess isn't a very good NFL WR. I think most honestly do, they're just living in denial.

Cam lit into Funchess after a drop on Sunday. After that, Funchess had a touchdown and a two pt conversion.

the sad thing is after as bad as this season has gone. i wouldnt be the least bit surprised if we still made a run. Having Cam on the field gives you a chance against anyone
