What is the one position on the field that as a front office and coaching staff should be the best and most important position on the field? QB. Thats supposed to be and has always been the #1 priority. Look at the top teams in the NFL most of the SB winners. Most of them drafted/traded for a franchise QB. And they have someone ready to go if something happens. This coaching staff pissed around for 8 years and brought in only 1 QB that is even capable of starting in this league. We shouldn't even be in this situation, and it pisses me off. Matt Moore is a question mark. But he shouldnt be. we should have someone that this team is confident in, and is ready to go now. This is one of the many reasons that Fox and Hurney are, and should be on their way out.

Agree in many ways. This is the same conversation we were all having the year Jake got hurt, Carr sucked ass and the season was lost. One of the biggest failures of Fox/Hurney era is to have a QB of the future on this roster - whether they accomplished that through the draft/trade/ or free agents signing. They have tried but failed miserably and now we have another lost season due to it. What also pisses me off is they were so down on Moore they put McCown on IR to bring in Feely. Not that McCown is the answer but they traded picks to bring him in this past offseason. Now he is healthy but cant play.

I agree with you 100% and have stated so in a different thread.

Carolina needs to do whatever it takes to trade up into the first round and draft that franchise QB. That QB will be the new face of the team and someone who we can rebuild around.

Tony Pike in the second round will be our guy. And I love your sig...EBHS Class of '06.

Agreed TOTALLY! I'm sick of this "game management" bullsh!t! Even when we do "manage" the game, we still get beat!!! I want a high scoring offense. I want touchdowns not lame "time of possession" stats.

I'll take an ugly win over a pretty loss any day of the week.

Whatever we do to win. Who cares. JUST WIN!

This is an argument people have been making since '06 but were subsequently steamrolled with:

"Jake took us to the Super Bowl"

"Jake has the best post season stats"

"Jake is a perfect leader and has a strong arm"

"its the run game fault"

"It's the o-line fault"

"It's the defense's fault"

"It's the coordinator's fault"

"Its the coach's fault"

I just wonder what has put an end to all the excuse making.

I'm sure I left out a bunch. Anyone who has posted or lurked around here for awhile could certainly come up with a more detailed list. Some of my favorites were the isolated stats that included wacky parameters defined by score, quarter, defined down and distance, and my favorite... "when Steve Smith was out..."

I agree that the man to take over for Jake should have already been on the team....like after the 2005 season. they tried with carr but that was a disaster...nother thing, i believe both those cock fks (fox and hurney) new Jakes arm was jacked up before it popped. they have been gambling for a long time and now they are losing which is costing us. I still think we have a good core of players but need improvement at mostly qb. Fox needs to roll out. I mean, plenty of other bungled deals have passed thru the panthers organization but what the hell was your thought process to say im going to give Jake that kind of money off that kind of performance...

We need a new attitude around here. 'it is what it is' needs to change to 'damn, we beat their ass again'...

      Cam Newton says being "erased" by panthers has hurt his feelings..

      Retired jersey, etc. It can't be done on Cam's terms.  'Be patient" and quiet about it is my advice.

      I see your point 100% and I agree with Cam in principle--but from the business side of things, it is not a valid argument.  Was he doing it for loyalty to the city or money?  He signed a contract and both sides fulfilled that contract, just like a teacher or a lawyer/client. Recently, I hired a stud lawyer at $550 per hour to sue my employer for violations to the UNC system policy that "injured" my professional status and reputation.  If he failed, he would have kept nearly $30,000. We won a big settlement.  Do I owe him more?  Should he be on our Christmas card list?  What if he went public and said, "I gave my all for MHS yet I am not invited to his house for Thanksgiving."  I did give him a positive review and sent his staff a gift card to a restaurant, but that was purely my idea.  Cam was paid about $110m for his time here. He signed a contract, he probably outplayed it and he sacrificed his body to keep Ron Rivera employed.  Not under debate.  But Cam's comment suggests that the franchise owes him more for doing his job well--at least in terms of honor and recognition--I agree, but it it can't come from Cam--and they owe him nothing. They should do it, and they will, but not on Cam's terms.  I also think it would be different if we had won a Super Bowl.  Frankly, Cam never had 2 winning seasons in a row--so I can see both sides.  Maybe only Dan Marino gets a statue without bringing Miami a ring; can you think of another?  Fran Tarkenton?  Warren Moon?  The Titans retired his jersey, and maybe the Panthers should do that for Cam--While I agree with Cam, I just think it should not come from Cam or people in his position. He played, got paid, and the rest is political, emotional, and cordial.  It seems petty coming from Cam.  So yeah, I feel you, but I don't think that statement helps him.  Just my perspective.
