Bill Barnwell's strange hate of the Panthers and Cam

I don't know this guy. I don't do ESPN except for the MNF game. But this thought just occurred to me. Maybe the actions and demeanor of our previous owner have colored the shade coming the Panthers' way. Despite players like Cam or Luke or Olsen we may not be liked by some people just because of that.

I actually respect BB more than most, especially on the ESPN banner.  But these talking heads are all still slanting their coverage to reflect their own prognostications.  If you read his preseason take you know 1) why he is down on the Panthers and 2) you can't find a lot to argue with.  http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/24228491/nfl-teams-most-likely-decline-win-fewer-games-2018-projections-schedule#CAR

The BB's of the world are going to be running for cover soon.  For the Panthers to get to 4-2 while adjusting to 2 new coordinators and remaining relatively healthy and some favorable matchups down the road..... get ready to be wrong.

Besides, it is always better when we FORCE them to write about us!

    • It amuses me how Goff's name the last few years is often used to compare to subpar or underperforming QB's. Now on the surface I get it. But when you look at his numbers he's been the same QB all along. He's improved his completion % but even with the Rams he averaged 63.4. And that Super Bowl he played in they should have won honestly. If we can get a QB as good as Goff I'll be pretty damn pleased.
    • And it remains to be seen if Goff has that ability or not. Plenty of very good QB's like Goff were not able to get over those playoff humps. Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins, etc. You can still be an upper tier QB and never get over that hurdle. McVay just thought(and hasn't been wrong yet) Goff was never going to be that guy.
    • You literally simply have to think logically for either of those guys. Smith is locked up on a deal for 2025, so we would have to trade for him or he gets cut. Neither of those scenarios are likely in the first place.  Wilson will be 37 in 2025. Why on earth would he have any interest in a situation that is far worse than he was given in Denver and wasn't able to win there? He's a guy that can drop into any ready to win franchise in the NFL and immediately elevate their chances of winning(provided they already have QB issues).  Frankly, that is either speculation that even David Newton should be embarrassed by or it shows how disconnected with reality some people in our organization are.   I do agree with him on getting a veteran QB, however. That's our best chance to keep developing our talent.
