Franchise hasn't been the same without Cam.

 

We were robbed of a SB. I truly believe we win a championship if Cam never got injured. He was too good of a QB not to have won at least 1 championship. The fact he got us to a SB with what he had on offense is amazing.

 

These elite QB's today have multiple elite weapons on offense and still can't reach a SB. 

The biggest knock on Cam was that Cam was such a superstar, once in a generation talent that the coaches leaned too heavily on him, that the rest of the team leaned too heavily on them, the management of the team just sat back and didn't build like they should have, and that in the end, no matter how much Cam believed he was that guy, one man can't win you a Super Bowl. 

Cam took up most the oxygen in the room, always has, always will, he's just that big of a deal. And sometimes that's just how it works out. Marino had the same effect. Rodgers was always a threat of being that way. The game revolves around the QB, doubtless, but there has to be more to it than that.

We had other guys, certainly, like Luke and TD, Double Trouble and Jordan Gross. But it was the Cam show, make no bones about it. And we just never built it to be more than that.

Well said my friend. I almost came to tears reading this. We failed Cam and there is nothing else to discuss.

with that much talent it's a damn shame that we didn't have at least one ring. we should have been a team that was making a deep run in the playoffs every year. the fact that we didn't win more is a fault of management....from the GM's office and the coaching staff. 

we had the talent, not the management.

No, they failed the Panthers. Cam, great as he was, was just a part of the Panthers, not the whole organization. They treated him like he could be enough, that he was Superman like he claimed he was. You can't rest a whole franchise's hopes on one man of flesh and bone. Eventually they can't reach the summit, eventually the wear and tear takes them down.

They wanted Cam to be that guy. Cam wanted to be that guy. We all wanted to be that guy. We all just got blinded by the light.

Still no excuse not to draft better. Cam needed receivers the whole time

Okay, let's be honest about this. It happened a long time ago. It can't be changed. We made it to 2nd place that season and played in our second Super Bowl, two more than some older organizations have ever had and one more than most. 

It's time to let it go.

It's time to let Cam go.

Time just flows in one direction, we need to be looking downstream.

      Family drama (Cam and Smitty)

      By mav1234 · Posted

      He can say what he feels, but he's not saying "the previous year, the team wasn't very good" he directly called his teammates out and in a way that is flat-out not true. "You are your record"? Oh ok, he's only had 3 winning seasons, but in my mind he isn't a loser, and I bet he isn't in his either - cause football is a team sport and wins and losses are on the team, even when one really bad player (Jimminy Pickles) can basically screw over everything.  And this comes on the heels of his thing about the MVP, which is fine, but also selfish. His teammates consistently went to bat for him... Just feels like he's more about himself.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Good point--I think this draft is great for us at this time--At the top of the draft, the DT (DEs/NTs in 3-4) are loaded.  The Edges are deep.  We need to double dip there--hoping to move back so we can add three players to that pool.  In free agency, if I were Morgan, I would focus on DBs and  ILB--fix the back end of the defense.  If he signed a S, CB, ILB, and TE, it would be cost effective.  In the draft, DE, Edge, and WR should be the priorities.  After that, OL Depth, QB depth, DB depth, RB depth.  My Free agent Targets:  TE: Juwan Johnson, Saints.  29, had over 500 yards with Saints. S: Julian Blackmon, Colts.  He will be one of the top free agents--gonna cost us, but not like an edge or WR. ILB: Tyrel Dodson, Dolphins.  80 tackles on just 854 snaps--under 27 years of age. CB: Mike Jackson, Carolina.  He is 28 and had 3 picks and was on the field at all times.  68 PFF score. NT:  best available for Evero's system.
