Panthers Get Unexpected Christmas Gift

I'm sure Luck will be a fine NFL quarterback. The Colts will probably take him with the top pick this spring, and he will be able to learn under Peyton Manning for a couple of years before taking the big stage.

But the Panthers' greatest gift this year was one they didn't even know they wanted. Newton has taken Panther fans on a thrill ride like we had with that three-wheeler--some bumps and bruises along the way, but the promise of years of “did you see that?” moments we'll never forget.

I have an interesting question concerning Cam. How much credit does Derek Anderson get for Cam's development. The only area I really see DA helped Cam in, is pump faking the ball and looking off defenders. In the pre-season, Cam didn't do any of that. Then in the 4th pre-season game, DA came in against the Steelers and played well. Pump faking and hitting a guy deep for a touchdown. So in the Arizona game, I noticeably saw Cam pump fake a couple of times, and I credit DA in that area. How about you guys, did DA help Cam this year?

    • It's sort of funny you guys were so bad with 3s tonight about the same time Silver and LeBron both say the game is broken due to too many 3 attempts. The NBA is almost unwatchable. No defense, refs call fouls for almost anything, guys care more about looking pretty on the court than playing tough, etc. Today's NBA is putrid.
    • It's gotten more complicated with the change of CBS and FOX no longer being exclusive AFC/NFC partners From a home team perspective, the NFL requires the home market (which is typically the broadcast reach of the station airing the game) to carry the game. For times where there is a conflict (let's say, FOX Charlotte is airing some major news event) then the broadcast will go to a local station that FOX Charlotte has an arrangement with -- like the CW, maybe.  Only in super-rare instances would local FOX throw the game over to a major competitor like to WSOC/ABC. But it could happen This is how games that are "exclusive" to streaming will end up being broadcast by a local channel in those home team markets -- because the NFL wants the local market to be able to see the game.  Amazon TNF games will always be available on some local channel in those teams' markets, for example. Or the upcoming Netflix games For TV markets that do not have a local team, then the local station gets to choose from what's available. Ideally, they'd choose a regional game or one that is close in the conference.  In Atlanta, for example, we would typically get one of the NFC South matchups for times when the Falcons aren't playing.
