I usually don’t like lists. But it’s in NYE, and the decade ends tonight. Felt like an appropriate time to do this. 

There’s a thread on Twitter if you wanna check it out. Might bring back some good memories. Might make you mad that a few plays or players are missing. 

These are my 10 favorite of the decade.

McCaffrey is not on the list. When I think back to his career so far, he’s been amazing. That goes without saying. But I couldn’t think of one particular moment that would stand out as an all-time decades moment. At least in terms of impactful moment in a game situation. If I do this list in 10 more years, he’ll probably take up the whole list.

I wish you would have included the 1st down against the falcons where he drags about 7 of them and will not be denied. Then the 'Wheel route' play against the packers. Both get me pumped every time I see them. 

If it was a top 15 list, they probably would’ve made it. So many damn great moments to choose from.

Awesome list.  

I prob have #3 as my #1. That night was more like a rock concert than it was like any football game I’ve ever attended.   And I’ve been to A LOT of rock concerts and A LOT of football games.   Cam Newton was Pete Townshend, guitar in hand, doing windmills in front of 75k roaring fans!!!
 

The next morning I had red velvet pancakes at Stacks in Matthews.  It was a magical 24 hrs.  
 

happy New Year, Ellis.  I have enjoyed the F^CK out of your work.  And so have my friends.  
 

CHEERS!!  And Keep Pounding!!!

      Taking on Watson contract if the compensation is right

      By rayzor · Posted

      Would it be possible to do that trade without us getting Watson?

      I'd be willing to cede everything east of Hickory to SC if I'm being honest.

      Stop the obsession with the QB position

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      A look at all the QBs making championships over the past 35 years says it's not 1st round QB driven. There are only 64 championship QBs, and this includes Jake Delhomme, Kurt Warner, Case Keenum, Tom Brady, Nick Foles, Mark Rypien, Eric Kramer, Brock Purdy, Rich Gannon, Brad Johnson, Russell Wilson and more non 1st round QBs. 5 of these QBs went to a championship in the past 10 seasons. 3 of the 5 won how many of the past 10 SBs? Foles beat Brady. Mahomes and Brady have won 7 of the past 10 SBs. Mahomes walked into a ready made contender. The other 3 are Foles, Manning and Stafford. We know Manning did nothing. It was defense. Stafford managed a defensive game. Foles beat Manning in an offensive shootout. Keep in mind Manning and Stafford were not drafted in the 1st round for the team that won the SB. The Rams have drafted how many 1st round picks in the past 8 years? The Broncos only drafted defense in the 1st round for 5 straight years leading up to their SB, and that's what stopped Cam. Any QB game manager can get you to the playoffs. OL, running game, defense and coaching carry the load during the season. Clutch QBs are needed in the playoffs to get to the championship games, and there is nothing favoring a 1st round QB being clutch over all other QBs. Never draft a QB in the top 20 picks unless they have a professional sports pedigree! If you need a QB it's simple competition and steady flow of a QB type (physicality/talent is not a deciding factor for champions). Sticking to a competitive strategy that filters out QBs who are high TO% and low clutch performance will always work. You're always looking for the one who refuses to give up the starting spot by feeling momentum, showing high situational preparedness, and knowing when to take risks. Top 20 picks should be defense with few exceptions. If you want offense, trade down to get more picks for defense and OL. There should always be a 4 QB rotation (3 roster and 1 practice squad) on the depth chart until 1 has held onto the starting spot for 34 games. Then go to 2 QBs on the roster. Patience in this process is key. There will never be a QB allowed to fail for more than 5 straight games for the myth of long term development. This QB strategy results in hitting on a franchise QB within 3 seasons while building a strong defense and deep OL. The defining factor of success for an NFL Franchise has been the HC/GM combos who have studied, mastered and implemented Bill Walsh's book together. The Panthers franchise appears to be no where near this championship strategy or philosophy. Butting heads over philosophy and mixed/inconsistent strategies have been the constant since Tepper took over.
