Sad admission from Cam

Either need to draft a real WR in the draft with our 1st pick, or pick up a proven vet in FA. No more projects or mid/late round picks on the position

Hurney's record for drafting receivers is not good.

Errrmmm...who was playing LT? Cherry picking is pathetic. Judging by your name tho...

The irony. Do you even realize what "cherry picking" means?

We could argue about Cam Newton's accuracy until we're blue in the face. I think most of us can agree he clearly had an off game. But here's the thing. You know what helps significantly in that situation? Actually having some semblance of a run game. We had pretty much nothing, zilch, nada. Cam Newton carried our run game all season along with passing the ball 20 or 30 times a game. Well, finally things collapsed. I don't know how many times I can or have to say it, but this team desperately needs someone, anyone on offense not named Cam Newton to step up. Not only did no one else step up, they had their share of contributing gaffes along with Cam. We're lucky we weren't completely blown out. But people here want to rant about how Cam Newton is above criticism? Clearly they are watching something different from me.

Yeah good thing we abondoned the run!

With Jake at QB. We have Cam. Are you saying Jake/89 > Cam/Funches/Olsen?

Umm hell to the mother fuging yes?

'05 Jake is a top 15 QB in today's league paired with '05 Smith.

Yep... been saying this for years.  There are no play-makers on this team.  Nobody else who can step up, take over a game.  No one who when he touches the ball your thinking he can break it open for  TD.   The entire offense is dependent on Cam being dominant AND being our RB.  Even in the Tampa game on the one drive where they moved it downfield and Anderson had to come in cause Cam got hit in the nuts it was all Cam running.  One time, 3x's in row then he had the nuts hit and had to come out.  

I get it, Cam is not perfect BUT he is and has not been the "problem" on the offense overall the past seasons, and this one.  Before we start ripping the QB and for some who want him gone.... you have to fix all the other deficiencies fist ,which are huge.  Not sure how many other QB's could be successful here with this team and Shula at the helm.

Don't worry. We will go into the off-season again, determined not to address the OL or WRs or the offense in general...the Huddle will know that the Panthers should go all in on offense...but when we start drafting a bunch of DBs, LBs, and DLs...the Huddle will cheer and say that Newton has enough help!

Honestly, I think there are maybe 2 or 3 other QB's in NFL history who would have been able to keep this team consistently in contention like Cam Newton has.

You are correct, he definitely isn't perfect. But it's a shame fans don't appreciate him more.
