Thanks for the Info. The only thing about things in the Past is exactly that PAST.

The Super Cam Man is pretty amazing in his own right. Two years and 2 National Titles

one a small school, then National stage and Heisman just thrown in for good measure!

Dang sure would have been a good way to break into Adulthood.

I think the real value in this story is how the national sports reporters behave and how that influences their reporting. Reporters have an incestuous relationship with the subjects they cover, but they are first and foremost vultures.

Is it any wonder how a scandal like the one at Penn State was able to be swept under a rug for decades while Joe Pa muddled through one season after another?

They were digging for dirt on Cam until they arrived at a whiff of scandal that they could take off on. Marry the Auburn situation with Peter Kings infamous "entertainer, icon" mis-characterization and you begin to get a picture of the sports reporting world that most of us on this board read religiously to get a sliver of real information.

Cam doesn't pay the media any mind and neither should you.

And Peter King can suck truck nuts until he get's permanent lock-jaw IMHO..

I think the best thing about Cam being Carolina is that the past will go away faster. If he were in NY it would haunt him for alot longer. Here the haters will fade away and the Panthers can win some championships without the BS in every interview.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      I wrote a long dissertation on who they would pick, breaking down the draft by needs and player availability and concluded (at that time) that we would go WR in the first.  Being right is humbling and dignifying.  I predicted that the Panthers would draft Matthew Golden.

      First of all, DJ had 788 yards as a rookie And second, KB was playing with Cam the year before he won MVP, and while Olsen had the exact same 1,008 yards as KB that year, next on the list was Cotchery with 580 and then 4th was Philly Brown with 296. KB had 73 receptions on 146 targets that year, THAT'S why he had 1k+ yards, not because he was some dominant WR, there were no other WR options on that team at all. If you say Thielen and Olsen are somewhat equal, particularly in role and ability, then XL/Coker >>>>>> Cotchery/Brown. Yes, T-Mac very well could get there, and this isn't me hedging on the ability of my guy.  It's that we should in theory have a lot of good receiving options and in his rookie year, I can see how T-Mac can have a good season but still not get to 1k this year because of it. In year 2 when we lose Thielen and he has that year under his belt, then yea, I'll say right now, I'm expecting a 1,200 yard season at minimum from him in 2026.  But I just think expecting 1k this first year given the weapons we have and being a run first offense, isn't fair to T-Mac. Again, just look at MHJ for what an uber talented rookie is likely to do when there is another legit receiving option there.  Nabers and BTJ were the only games in town for them last year, Puka the year before had a lot of time as the only option there while Kupp was hurt. If that happens to us next year with Thielen/XL/Coker, then yea, I'll then say T-Mac should get that 1k mark, but I'm not going to make my expectations based on expecting injuries.
