Didn't see this discussed before.  I know my opinion is going to be a bit biased but I have a hard time believing there were 86 better plays than Cam's 72 yard TD run vs the Falcons this year...

 

The poll has that play comfortably in the lead as the best play of that block of 10, I would guess most agree with me that it should be ranked higher.

Yeh, it prob should. However, rg3 did the same thing and from a few (very few) more yards out. Plus he did it before Cam. If he didn't it would be ranked higher. Because we all kno how much love they are giving the rookies from last year because their team made the playoffs. But Andy Dalton was in the playoffs cam's rookie season, but no one considers him better than cam. He has just been overlooked this year, but that will change soon.

Damn guys.....stop with the fuging pity party every time you feel we are slighted.

 

You guys care WAY too much what the media thinks.

 

We shut them up on the field.  With a 6-10 and 7-9 season the last two years, we are not going to get any love or respect.

 

Laugh at the media now....and it will be even sweeter when we prove them wrong this year.

Cam's TD run was 10 times better than Bob Acronym's run yet Bob's run gets all the hype as the worlds greatest football play.

Heh yea, Cam's dancing and weaving at the end to ensure he got into the end zone was a thing of beauty.  Almost as beautiful as Smitty's hustle and blocking.  A lesser man (with a lesser WR as his wing man) would have been tackled at the 20 when the defense caught up.

The coolest thing about that play was that Cam didn't even look like he was trying.  Its like he knew what he was going to do and knew that they couldn't stop him.  I don't know if I have ever seen a player be able to just do whatever he wants to do.  Peppers was the closest but he didn't want to.  Cam wants to and has that Peppers like athletic ability to dominate.

I'm not whining, it doesn't matter where they rank it. I just think they would have ranked it higher if rg3 didn't already do basically the same thing from 76 yards out. They are giving lots of love to the rookies, which is mostly deserved. They played great. But they have thrown Cam to the side right now, but like I said as well as others, that should change pretty soon.

    • 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
    • Was talking about Necas going to Arbitration. Jarvis expected deal is around 6.75x7 unless they do a bridge deal for like 2X5 or so.    so if Jarvis signs his expected deal that leaves around 4m for Drury and Necas.
