Lol... Not with Justin Fields throwing him the ball. His career is, sadly, over.

I do kinda think our poor record had something to do with him actually. It wasn't necessarily his fault, but he became such a focal point of the offense that it made us one-dimensional and painfully predictable.

I think trading him is one of the smartest moves in franchise history.

Part of being good is being healthy. A player can't be great unless they are actually on the field. He's a top 3 corner in the NFL, arguably the best if he can get a full season under his belt, but we need top 3 for 17 games a seaon (plus playoffs), not 10.

I'd sell the farm on TMJ breaking out this year.

I'd say Atlanta, mostly because of I-85.

"Depends" definitely matters in the conversation. Pre or post injury is quite important to the discussion. Also, this is about who the Panthers GOAT is, so I'm not sure why the team he played for wouldn't be a factor in the conversation? He was rookie of the year (with quite possibly the best season by any rookie ever at the time), MVP, and led the team to an NFC Championship win. I definitely DON'T love Cam, but I recognize his greatness and that he stands out like Mount Everest above all the other QBs we've ever had, while Steve B and Jake D are more like Mount Mitchell. Luke Kuechly was definitely the best MLB we've ever had, but he was so on a team with a rich history of fantastic MLB (and OLB) play. Context matters. Cam excelled far above and beyond what has ever been achievable for QB on a franchise as dysfunctional as ours when it comes to offensive play. He's the only player we've ever had that actually carried the whole team, including the defense, when it was blowing 30 point leads left and right.

Depends on what part of his career we're looking at. He had several seasons where he was a top 5 QB, but he was also very hot and cold. That said, let's not forget the team he was playing for, who has consistently had among the most piss poor QB play in the league year after year after year... with the exception of the years he was good, and the one halfway decent season we got out of Delhomme. Luke's last two seasons in the league he was an absolute liability, so the same could be said for him... and Peppers. Smitty had about three seasons for us where he wasn't top 5 either.

Best player we've ever had at arguably the toughest position in all of sports. Cam is it.... and I'm honestly not even a big fan of his... but he's absolutely our best and most influential player ever.

Cam is unquestionably the GOAT Panther. MVP.

Everyone outside of Panther nation freaked out when we traded Moore, but when we added Theilen and Chark our receiving corps was already massively improved overall. Adding Hurst, Mingo, and TMJ making some serious strides last year makes me feel that shipping Moore was a brilliant move. It's called addition by subtraction.... then addition again.

If Jake thinks rain is "UnCharlottelike" he clearly hasn't been visiting enough.

We'll see.

3500 yds 18 tds 10 int 430 rush yards 3 rushing tds

That was actually pretty exciting lol

I see what you did there.

I disagree that he's too light to play ILB. This ain't your mama and daddy's NFL anymore.

I'm really trying to force myself to be excited. Please, God, let me be wrong about this dude.

Allow me. Yes.

Not sure if this is true or not, but I had literally never heard of the S2 cognition test until this year. Not one single time. Ever.

I'm hoping we trade out of the 1st pick and draft Manny Pacquiao to be our QB. I like Bryce, but I fear he may not be small enough for the job.

I would take the advice of some of the folks on this board before I'd trust about 80% of the members of the Panthers staff over the years.

I just watch tape of him and Stroud and scratch my head wondering how anyone on this planet could think he's the guy to pick. Size aside, to think Young is going to be able to stand back there for 3+ seconds every single snap in the NFL is absolutely laughable. The dude had an almost comically clean pocket at Alabama. Brady-esque. Not going to happen on the Panthers.

I think the Panthers should definitely draft a guy that makes Russell Wilson look like Andre the Giant.

This is, by far, the worst lead up to a draft in the history of this team.
