Some of y'all sound like you think this is a bad thing. Not sure why.

You folks do remember that Favre and Elway won Super Bowl rings and MVP trophies, right? And while Jake Delhomme didn't get to that level, he won a load of games and took this team to it's first Super Bowl.

Just sayin'...Newton isn't a Manning or Brady type. Don't expect him to be. And I'm not a fan of the Roethlisberger comparisons either because I think he's overrated. Ditto with Vick and McNabb because I think Newton (potentially) has the tools to be a better passer than both of them if he keeps going.

If he can be what he is, and be another Favre/Elway, we should All be happy.

Mr Scot would still prefer to have Delhomme starting in Carolina. This makes me sick and I'm off to erase the Mr Scot Appreciation Thread.

Prefer? Not really. Given the choice, I'd pick a pure pocket passer like a Manning or a Brady. Favre/Elway/Delhomme types are a roller coaster.

But can you win with this type of quarterback? Take a look at the ring fingers of Favre and Elway for the answer to that one.

And that's the true bottom line for me. I don't really care if Newton sets passing records. I care a great deal whether or not he quarterbacks us to a Super Bowl win.

He looks like a young Manning or Rogers to me. Well besides the fact he can break off a 20 yard run when it presents its self. His presision may not have been great but for the first game it was damn good.

With that said it has only been one game and GB may make him look like David Carr next week.

Once again you frame your posts as so you can never be wrong. A lack of definitive opinions over the thousands of posts takes quite a bit of skill

      High look overview...

      By musicman · Posted

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.

      Canes vs Panthers(Back to Back Games Thread)

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
