The Panthers in general are not going to get much respect until they start stringing together winning seasons. Inconsistency with our franchise is well beyond Cam Newton .

Remember when we were winning in 2015 and people kept making excuses as why we were winning? And these same nfl fans were so quick to jump up and down and proclaim how much we suck in 2016? Yeah some of that is Cam haters but alot of it is they don't respect a franchise thats known for its inconsistency and 7-9 or 6-10 seasons

Lol, excuses excuses excuses...

Cam came into the tougher division and talent deprived team but this moron had the audacity to pull "well, if they switched teams" angle. Luck is not a precision passer and has suspect decision-making. Say what you want about Cam, but he won't throw for 4 interceptions in back to back games. He's overcompensated for his teammates too.

What would luck do with the 2015 team? One could wonder..

And this is why I didn't click on the video. They're so damn predictable and boring. Hell, I've been critical of Cam at times too but I believe he's going to light it up this year. He just needs to let those playmakers do a little more of the work.

Probably go 6-10 or worse. Yes the defense bailed us out a few games but Luck isn't running or extending plays like Cam did that year.
Not saying you do but a lot of the talking heads fail to mention the Colts made sure he had weapons to throw to. If the O-line excuse doesn't work for us why does he get a pass?

Anybody can look these stats up, but here ya go:

(and yes I realize Cam has been in the league 1 year longer and ppl still want to knock Cam for his completion %)

I mean when you consider the stats and the fact that Cam has achieved so much more with less up to this point in their careers.....I don't really see how it's even very close. 

Oh well, it's ESPN so who cares and as has already been mentioned; we won't get respect (the team as a whole or Cam) until we can win consistently.

      Would you trade Ickey

      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

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

      By SCO96 · Posted

      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.
