And to think out of all the different celebrating that were being done by QBs on Sunday, Cam was the only one penalized. Even Matt Safford did his celebration just as exesssively in front of the ref. It almost feels like folks now simply think it's cool to punish Cam for whatever reason..

I thought the flag was unfair considering Cedric Benson and Beanie Wells both celebrated on a knee. Then I noticed Cam used the ball as a prop. Appropriate flag, just retarded.

So Cam's move was retarded because he didn't let go of the ball? Boy some of u never cease to amaze me with legalistic u can be.

Seriously, some of u folks are killing the game of football with ur selective desire for punishment and rational. Maybe Patrick Peterson should have penalized for taunting a player while the game was still in progress. Unsportsman like conduct should have been the call. I mean really....:rolleyes:

I believe he's saying that the flag was appropriate given the rule, but that the rule is retarded (not the celebration).

I don't see Shockey as the person to miss out on rubbing it in th team's face even just to support it...

I've noticed the first people on successful plays to go to Cam to celebrate or whatever has been Wharton and Hang. The TEs are close too.

I love Smitty but eventually I'd like to see a young WR Cam could grow with. Man if only Smitty was 8 years younger.

    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
    • I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
