Man that's a shame we couldn't get this kid court side vs the Heat. Some people worry about Cam leaving but I personally feel like he has grown roots. He has his foundation set up, he visits our schools, and attends Hornets games. I think he is happy here.

Plus, Charlotte ain't that far away from Mama. :P

KEY

DID NOT WANT MEDIA.

fake my ass, the guy is genuine.

That was the biggest thing I took from it. Smitty was the same way, there was so much he did locally that people don't even know about.

That tells you they're doing it for the right reasons.

Cam went from a kid with maturity issues in college to coming into the NFL and taking the bull by the horns in becoming the face of this franchise and really growing into a man. Not many athletes coming out of college get it that quick. He really is trying to shape his game after the Mannings/Brady's in terms of all around leader. Great stuff

1st, I really hope the kid can recover from his cancer.  I hate when kids get sick or hurt.  Breaks my heart.  Best wishes to him and I hope he triumphs over this.

 

2nd, I was not an early Cam fan but the last couple of years I have truly come to appreciate the things he does.  Most of that appreciation comes from his off-field endevours.  I think he is a hell of QB too and glad he is ours.  Proud of our QB!

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
