We really did man. Protecting him with the likes of Byron Bell and Nate Chandler 🤢, drafting him slow ass receivers, pairing him with dumbass Shula, etc. We wasted such a generational talent. In a way, it's kind of poetic that we missed on Stroud, because we would have just ruined him like we did Cam.

What’s poetic is you had a few loud fans that didn’t like Cam, or his personality, only to end up with a boring “supposed” super processor, that is looking like will be a dud. Tepper wanted what they wanted in a QB; a guy that would blend in and cause no controversy at all. I still remember some of those same fans threw a fit when Stroud named his QB influences. I got fooled by Bryce too, after rooting hard for Stroud to start, so I’m not much better I guess lol.

The absolute cognitive dissonance the sports media has with Cam infuriates me to no end. Absolutely embarassing to even mention Kaep when Cam Newton's on the field success has shown so much more than he ever had.

The same sports media that claims Cam Newton isn't a pocket passer - despite a large majority of his snaps being in the pocket! - and then saying bullpoo like this.

Cam created a new paradigm on defense that accounted for running QBs, and was an absolute beast in every way. 

Shame on the media for bringing down one of the most polarizing and talented QBs of this generation.

 

I always thought Kap would have gone deep to the playoffs more often, I’m surprised he seemed to get figured out. Or maybe it was injuries. I know he got blacklisted too but I kept thinking he was going to win one pretty quickly

Kaep was just that bad. He was easy to figure out. He was bad at the throwing the football part.  Harbaugh was just a wizard.

Hell no we ruined Cam.

 

Dream scenario he ends up in Atlanta as a backup. Starting QB goes down at the end of the season and Cam comes in and lead them to a SB run. He retires with his SB in his hometown.

 

I'm here for it!

That would make us the only team in the NFC South without a ring. Hell no.

That first game Cam returned is one of the few highlights of the past several years. At least for that week or so, he legitimately galvanized a beleaguered team. That Cardinals team had one of the best records in the league at the time if I recall correctly. Took these few shots as it was it was pretty wild seeing a guy who had joined the team a few days calling rallies mid game. 861DD6CE-3EF9-4328-AE06-119EA31E7685.thumb.jpeg.7de02c5b17e1a1e1a72224cca34897ab.jpeg

My kids first football hero growing up. It was so easy for a kid to love Cam because Cam was so kid friendly from giving footballs to them after touchdowns to hosting his Nickelodeon show. I developed a love for him like a family member. What he meant to my son made him mean the world to me. I miss prime healthy big bad ass strong trucking over defensive guys Cam so very much. Big tough nice guy with a cannon arm that could run like hell and refused to go down easy then would laugh, joke and high five children. He was the hero Charlotte needed but didn't deserve

Fans appreciated and still love Cam. It’s the coaches and front office who didn’t by not building around him starting with offensive line and  better weapons. The fact he carried his team to SB with Ted Ginn as his #1 WR will always be the most underrated QB performance in history.

Yep. This is why I say F**k Rivera. Terrible coach.

I remember when it was on the news that his house caught on fire (no injuries). I looked at my wife and said, "If I were investigating the cause of this fire, I'd start with the diehard Panther fans."

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
