First Take: Film Room - Cam Newton (Video)

Surprisingly they nailed every single point right about Cam Newton. And I mean EVERY point. This video should be archived.

People need to stop hating on these guys because this is the first time I have seen any crew actually dissect Cam perfectly. Including how they ended it with the most important thing being his poise and ability to lead veterans, because without that supreme confidence, none of those other things would be possible.

And even's Skip comment about Smith helping Cam, not just Cam helping Smith, though some may seem as him hating....even that was on point. Not too much gushing, not too little. You can tell they are actually watching him and watching him objectively now.

The man-genius and Jamele Hill made that possible. That show isn't always that good. Depends completely on subject and who sits on with Bayless.

Cam's performance, skill, and leadership don't lie. Eventually, the journalists who have doubted will have to own up to this guy's ability and what he has accomplished so far. As they say, haters gonna hate, but with each passing week of the season, the doubters have to stop clinging to the hope that he will fail or his true colors will show.

This is an extremely talented quarterback, and for what he's done so far as a rookie, on a team that was 2-14 a year ago, if anyone can say he's been anything short of amazing should be discounted as having an opinion that's worth a poo.

Mangini is very well spoken...might be one of the best analysts on ESPN right now. Dude needs more airtime on the Sunday Pregame show doing this kind of play analysis it's very good

I've felt the exact same way. He does an excellent job of breaking down a play. I've learned a lot from his segments about coverages, etc.

    • Yeah the thing about DJ and his production was that he played in a scheme that either rushed 6 or rushed 3. Almost nothing in between.  So he's either 1 on 1 or a free rusher OR he's not rushing at all.  That said, he cost very little compared to Burns with basically the same output. 
    • There's much of nothing coming out this time of year, but here's a vid that I believe that many fans need to internalize because it speaks to expectations for the 2024 season.    There's nothing really new, but I'd like to point out that one of the few things that I personally learned is that D.J. Wonnum's contract is only guaranteed to the tune of 10 percent. The analyst in the vid is a Vikings guy, and he has seen all of  Wonnum's plays. He says that Wonnum disappears for big stretches, and of course, as a Panthers guy, I couldn't help but think of Brian Burns' disappearing act for stretches as well.  To paraphrase and kind of give my two cents, Panthers fans should be somewhat optimistic about all of the potential on offense (but not crazily so), and be somewhat worried about the pass rush and defensive backfield. We're thin at both, but hopefully we can at least be competitive based on the offensive side of the ball. This is not to say that we won't be better on defense, but being so thin at rush and on the back end, we will be lucky to substantially improve.  One more note is that I believe he's somewhat of a Young apologist, as he didn't really mention Bryce's bad play specifically, taking the position that we just don't know what we have in Young based upon the sh¡t show in 2023.  I could argue the point, but what's the point? We'll have to see what Bryce has got when surrounded by much-improved talent and coaching. Check the vid out; it isn't so long, and though there are multiple reasons to be skeptical about the defensive personnel, last year produced a couple of stats that should indicate that Ej knows what he's doing. Like the analyst said, we'll hopefully do for the defense in the 2025 off-season, what we did for the offense this off-season.
    • seems like Necas is acting like a pestilent spoiled brat, we have to sign Drury and this is gumming up the works - also looks like we now have to trade Necas for draft picks or fingers crossed get out of KK's salary
