Unless Cam really fugs this up... He's our Starter!

[TruCatzFan]

Thursday night may be the biggest game of Cam Newton's career. It will undoubtedly go a long way as to who RR names as our starter. Pickles is probably pretty upset about it right now...

Whether we think he's ready or not is irrelevant. It's time to Squash all this team JC/ team Cam crap and come together as a fan base.

I expect him to do very well against Cincy's defense. Cincy's offense shouldn't be able to do much against our defense, so in reality this will be the first time we see him in a week long preparation knowing that he's going in as the starter.

We should be able to see Cam to Smitty for the first time in a game situation, which will be exciting in it's own right.

Looking forward to Thursday... It will be a big night for our organization one way or another. I tend to lean towards him solidifying himself as the starter, especially since He will be getting a week prep time with the ones in practice.

Go Panthers! This could be the beginning of a very beautiful thing... And I'm glad to be here and alive to watch it unfold. I think that Cam will be very special... If not, well we do have Jimmy.

cam will see 10 wins from the sideline only

he won`t lead the team to 10 wins

but they are hell bent to start him,ready or not

[GritsRgreat]

Couldn't have picked a better team to to show case his skills against.....

Better hope he's up to the challenge cus if he can't beat the Bengals, well who can he beat?

[Jackofalltrades]

Didn't we know that when we drafted him?

I can't decide if I think Jimmy is getting a fair shake or not.

You mean, "Jimmy and Derek are getting screwed."

Derek was never here to start,

How hard are you trying to troll right now anyway?

Meh...it doesn't really matter at this point. Cam is gonna be the starter whether he does much Thursday or not. Let's move on and support him.

[ladypanther]

Any rookie QB is a work in progress...this year progress has been handicapped. Got to hope Cam is exceptional and that his teachers are.

Still believing in this team./COLOR]

I can't decide if I think Jimmy is getting a fair shake or not.

The fact that you cant decide kind of answers it. If Jimmy really deserved it and outplayed a rookie "project" QB like he should've it would be no question about if he's getting fair shake or not. He had a 50/50 shot, but he hasn't shown up like he should. Too much safe dink and dunk decision making for this offense especially a QB with starts under his belt.

Newton is gonna be our starter, I don't think Chud is a big fan of Clausen IMO.

Newton is gonna be our starter, I don't think Chud is a big fan of Clausen IMO.

Well yeah... U could argue that Cam was gonna be our Starter the day ^He was drafted... It's obvious that Chud doesn't like JC... Why should he?

^He can't do anything that Cam can do. What OC wants to be hand cuffed when it comes to calling plays?

This game will solidify their decision to start him. Like I said in the op... He's really gonna have to fug it up bad... And I don't see him doing that.

Of course coaches and most fans had a huge bias towards starting Newton, there is no question, so him starting isn't surprising. I do think Jimmy showed that he could do good things thus far, but only 2 games under the belt, no one can really say jack about anyone.
