I believe that Cam's injury(s), not-as-phenomenal-as-before seasons, and having sat out a lot of games contributed to the WHY. As to the WHO, well - others have said it already.

Counterpoint to the high cost of obtaining a pure breed dog: consider picking out a rescue instead.

TRUST THE PROCESS

I'm probably going to get this wrong: some of what they spoke about earlier in the program was about how fandom can act as blinders vs actuality. (they were talking about other sports with this commentary) Generally speaking, 2021 Cam is not the same as 2015 Cam. We shouldn't expect 2015 Cam. Give credit to PJ and CMC. Cam only played for 5 snaps. To me, it didn't sound anti-Cam, but trying to take a step back and be realistic about what the upcoming games and current situation is all about. Again - I'm probably wrong with these bullets.

From the Cinnamon and Sugar podcast (if the video didn't advance there, the talk starts at about the :50 mark)

tonight's Manningcast is supposed to have Al Michaels in the first quarter.

This seems important.

if the Panthers do trade for an established starter, it would leave them without first-round, second-round and fourth-round picks in 2022. That would mean Carolina would have one pick in (approximately) the top 150 of next year’s draft, and that pick would be midway through the third round, about 80th overall.

Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling... He did write a bunch about our QB situation and the $$ involved. Nothing we haven't already rehashed here, but it's more in-depth if you're interested.

Of the 149 games played in this NFL season, I would wager not a single one has said more, about more significant things, than Green Bay 17, Seattle 0 in a Wisconsin snow squall Sunday, the first wintry day of the season. Sigh He wrote more words about a game where the QB didn't play than he did about a game where an entire team made a statement when a QB came back. at least he did write more than a paragraph about us this week (which is about a paragraph+ more than he usually spends on the Panthers): An 8-game sprint with Cam Newton? That certainly was cool, Cam Newton running for a touchdown on his first snap as a second-time Panther, and passing for a touchdown on his second snap. His role, Matt Rhule told me, wasn’t established till Sunday morning at the hotel in Arizona, when coaches asked him if he felt he could execute the few plays he’s practiced late in the week. “I sure can,” Newton said. Said Rhule: “Credit to Cam. That pass play, for you football historians, is sprint right option—that’s the Dwight Clark catch from Joe Montana in the NFC Championship Game.” P.J. Walker won his second start as a Panther, the 34-10 rout of Arizona. Maybe that gives Rhule cause to think he should keep using Newton as a relief pitcher for the time being, continuing with next week’s home game against Washington. We’ll see, but I doubt it. “Honestly,” said Rhule, “I am gonna go pass out on the plane. We’ll get Cam in on Monday, keep showing him new plays, we’ll see how much he is ready to play. I’m not to that point in my brain that I can make a decision like that.” Rhule also said the Newton signing “is just about today—just about this year. We wanted to do what we could to win this game, then win the next one. We’ll worry about next year next year.”

Anybody have a non-Facebook URL for that clip?

PJ said in his presser that he had prepared for today's game more than he had for previous games when he wasn't going in as the starter. PJ prepped, for sure, but it's like when you're on a road trip -- the person driving the car might spend a whole lot more time looking at the map than the person in the passenger seat; while your 2nd driver may know the way generally, they may not know the details of which exit is the best exit for cheap gas and easy access. He said that he as going to prep for next week equally hard. I liked what he had to say today after the game. His hard work paid off today

Even the seats around him look like they’re smiling

PJ deserves a lot of credit for today. Let’s not let that get lost in all the Cam talk

Looking at the ticker, this has to be one of the biggest overall scoring weekends in quite a while. Lots of 30+ differentials.

Don’t let the cards get garbage points. Let the D hold strong
