11. Carolina Panthers

There are so many questions around Cam Newton right now, not least of which is his timetable for recovery from offseason shoulder surgery. One season after he rampaged his way to a Super Bowl and a league MVP award, Newton saw his completion percentage dip to a Mark Sanchez-ian 52.9. The worst season of Newton's career coincided with fresh concerns about his ability to protect himself -- and the ability of his team and the officials to protect him -- on the field. The shoulder surgery this offseason kept those concerns front of mind.

Carolina's backup situation is better than those of the other teams in this tier, given that Derek Anderson seems to know how to keep the ship afloat when Newton can't play. But the Panthers sit behind Indy and Seattle in our rankings because the health concerns with Luck and Wilson are projected, while Newton's are current.

1. Pats

2. Rodgers

3. Matt Ryan

4. Matt Stafford

5. Big Ben

6. Drew Brees

7. Rivers

8. Eli

9. Luck

10. RW

Gotta write about something....so pull things out arz to get clicks. If most of the guys ahead of him had the same Oline and WR Corp Cam did, they would have shat the bed too.

Ryan, Stafford, Luck?  Ummmmm... NO, lol.

RW and Rivers?  Debatable.

Brady, Rodgers, BB, Brees, and Eli?  Probably.

Lotta clicks for whiny butthurt panther fan bitches.

 

I would have him around 9-10. Ryan went to the Super Bowl last year and was pretty damn good, so currently he is the better QB, title is THIS season projections.

 

For ESPN this is pretty accurate. Why the hell would they rank him higher because he had a bad shoulder but supposedly would have done better if not? Rankings have little to do with subjective fanboy bullshit just like the other QBs.

What do 7 of those 10 have on common? Lost their last head-to-head with Cam.

The only QB's I have a real issue being rated higher are Luck and Stafford.  Neither have accomplished anything.

Wilson, Rivers, Ben (health reasons), Ryan and Eli are debatable IMO.

Brady, Rodgers and Brees are reasonable.

Cam should be 9th at worst.  I'd personally put him at 8. 

Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Ryan, Rothlisberger, Eli, Wilson, Cam, Rivers, Stafford and Luck.

Eh doesn't really move the needle of importance for me. He had a bad year. Most media won't give Cam the benefit of the doubt when it comes to injuries, oline and lack of weapons. That should be obvious by now. They will give Luck, Eli and Rivers all the excuses in the world but would never dream about doing that for Cam. 

Everyone is saying that Cam will never get back to the 2015 form. To that I will steal a line from one of Cams interviews and of course a great song. "If you don't believe me, just watch."

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
