The John Fox Mentality. Cmon

For me, I understand the concern some have of Cam's mechanics and the offensive style he played in college.

What I cannot understand is this knock that he's not mentally tough enough to play at the next level. The kid won every game he could at the top level of college football in the toughest league in the country, and he did it under more scrutiny than any player in the history of the game.

To me that's worth something.

I am not knocking Cam on that. I was just thinking about how Jake got fired up and made himself and the team better, despite John Fox and his ho-hum attitude. Can Cam be the same way?

Bust franchise QBs sets franchises back many years, bust lineman or skill players outside of QB sets back teams only a couple.

I pay for PSLs and I want a winning product. If that means going safe, so be it. I don't want to see a losing product while a rookie QB, especially a raw one like Cam, tries to find his way.

We're in an almost unique position in the NFL. We had a team last year that was simultaneously undergoing a massive change in on-the-field leadership, working for a lame-duck coaching staff, and starting way too many rookies at skill positions. Moreover, we were almost too sensitive to the injury bug (possibly because the coaches were leaving anyway, so the FO got risk-averse). And we stunk it up big-time on the field.

If you go back through the last ten years, you'll be hard-pressed to find any team taking in the top three that's anywhere near as talented as we are. Maybe the Chargers in 2004, but most of the teams spent a couple years earning the right to pick at the top (take a look at how often Detroit and Cleveland are in there). I would argue that even without a pick, we're young enough and talented enough to get back to the middle of the pack this year.

And because of that, there's never been a better time to take a risk. It's not like we'll end up in Raider territory if Newton is a bust, it just means we swung for the fences and missed.

Very much agree, except the only thing that will guarantee us being back here next year is if we maintain the status quo at the QB spot.

Could you explain the difference between many years ve a couple years?

Also how does passing on a franchise QB factor in? The Panthers have never had a franchise QB...ever. 0 Super Bowls.

A rookie pay scale will go a long way into being able to take chances from time to time.

Like 2 years vs. 5 years. A team is much sooner to throw in a towel on a WR, DB or lineman than a QB.

We have zero Superbowl wins, but so do a lot of teams since 1995. Don't forget we were a kick out of bounds away from one with a jouneyman that nobody outside of New Orleans or Charlotte knew about.

There are plenty of franchise QBs out there with out a Superbowl win. Go ahead with a laundry list of one timers, but the only two really successful ones have been Brady (6th rounder) and Big Ben (not top ten selection).

When did the Raiders select Russell and What was the Raider record last year?

Yep, they brought in a group of veteran QBs and cut their losses much earlier than most teams would have. Hell, even Al Davis could tell he was a piece of poo. The Raiders sucked for a few years while the Russell experiment was going on, right?

Keep trying.

By the way, I'm not against a rookie QBs though it may seem that way, just this year's group.

So a team that many consider the worst run team in the NFL recovered pretty quickly...thanks.

Explain how this group is any different then Stafford, Sanchez, and Freeman. All of which we would be happy to have as our QB.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      I think that Cam rubbed some refs the wrong way, but I had forgotten this stuff. Should not matter.  I remember being furious with Rivera. I personally think Rivera was the most overrated coach in Panther history--he had Cam, weapons, a great defense--and never had back-to-back winning seasons.  As a Coordinator in San Diego with Norv Turner (I believe) I recall a season when they were #1 on D and #1 on Offense and still struggled to make the playoffs.

      What are y'all grilling/smoking with ??

      For those with a classic 22" or 26" Weber Kettle, go and get yourselves two things: a) the VORTEX. It's basically a piece of heavy-duty sheet metal formed into a volcano/cone shape. Sit that in the middle of your kettle and pile in your charcoal. Crank the coals up to max temperature (open all the vents, you know the drill) and put chicken wings or thighs around the outside of the center ring.   You've got yourself the best air fryer setup for some incredible super-crispy grilled wings.  Lowes shows it at $40, but your local Walmart may have it for under $15, check the clearance rack  https://www.lowes.com/pl/grills-outdoor-cooking/grilling-tools-accessories/vortex/4294610365-721174412814    b) Envious of all your friends with a wifi-enabled pellet grill? Add wifi control and accurate temp management to your Weber kettle with the SPIDER GRILL's VENOM controller. Get complete temp control for your kettle with this electronic add-on (no drilling holes required!).

      @Basbear…definitely respect your opinion but Kon is baby Bird.  He is way better than people think and actually has crazy upside.  He does many things good but he is a worker and will get better.  One of the most fundamentally sound players to come out in a while.  Athletic ability isn’t everything
