Carolina Panthers are a One Man Show

[PhillyB]

Well, Steve Smith has been throwing guys under the bus for years and most people on this board will tell you he's a leader and the heart & soul of this team. When he called Jarrett out PUBLICLY a couple of years ago, dude got tremendous praise on this very board for it. And Cam has been protecting guys all year, taking blame for them, only so Zod and some of the homers can tell us emphatically HE'S NOT A LEADER or has alot of immaturity. LOL. I say Newton needs to take a page from Peyton and Brady's book and let guys know they have to do better PUBLICLY. Taking the blame for them, hasnt gotten them to play better or made people think he's a leader.

i don't use the huddle's overall response as a metric for evaluation. as you've pointed out, there's a lot of armchair idiots who have no clue what they're talking about and respond with knee-jerk reactions to surface data and then bound off into the jungle screaming like chimps to pound on their keyboards.

steve smith has been criticized for his flawed leadership for years. IMO his fire and drive for excellence is what makes him a leader, but other stuff - stuff like maturity and not calling guys out publicly and knowing when to talk and when to shut up - steve lacks in those areas.

by contrast, cam has shown strength in those areas.

do you want to see espn REALLY have a hayday and legitimate supporters of cam begin to criticize fundamentals of leadership that transcend footwork and release time? then keep suggesting he call his offensive line out in a press conference. see what happens.

truth is cam is more of a man than that, and neither you nor the huddle's blind cam haters seem to realize it, and for completely opposite reasons.

kt is either trolling or has lost his head meds, it's hilarious. we talking vince young type break downs

[X-Clown]

My main criticism of him is he's letting too many of his teammates off the hook every week taking all the blame for their lack of production and complacency with losing. I would like to see Cam point out his O line has to block better for him and his receivers need to get open more. Just saying "its all on me, everybody else is fine" might be want the homers on this board want to hear so they can still view scrubs as stars and good players, but it doesnt make us a better ballclub. It just makes him a more convenient scapegoat.

Do you really want Cam to be Kobe Bryant?

I've heard it all now............. Actually, the more I read the more confused I get.

i remember reading a few different "luke is a bust" threads, but then he was moved to MLB and that all stopped...point being, people don't really make too many "good natured" threads, they'd rather make threads of "negative" things and argue for 5 pages...

[raleigh-panther]

Nobody else on the team is worth discussing. They are forgettable.

If Newton does not start producing, he'll be forgettable too.

More fail by KT...

What he is saying is that when the most important player on the team (the QB) doesn't make game changing mistakes (turnovers) we win?

How surprising...

How about this KT we are 8-17 with the great Cam Newton at QB..... we are all astounded to be in the presence of such "greatness"....

what the hell Andrew Luck took the 2-14 Colts and making them a playoff contender and really the Panthers have way more talent than the Colts.

[ForMac]

I totally agree KT, black quarterbacks dont win superbowls.

[King Taharqa]

Doug Williams won a Super Bowl.

[ForMac]

Quarterback(S) plus it was a strike season, plus he didnt start, plus they cant handle pressure, plus w/e

START Jimmy Clausen so we no longer have a one man show, and get a stable of black running backs err... but throw to Greg Olson in the endzone.

[King Taharqa]

Thats not what you said, you said one hasnt won one. And I notice you dont dispute everyone else is forgettable.

[twylyght]

TheRed those trolls know no one else on our team is worth trolling. Panthers are basically Cam and backup singers. I wouldnt get too emotinally attached to anyone on this roster not named Cam.

I never once said "why are people talking about our QB so much", I said who else is worth discussing? Apparently no one, as Zod nor anyone else has answered that question.

you have a little cam juice on your chin. he's only using you girlfriend
