There's no doubt when we drafted Cam Newton, he was going to be the face of our team.  Of course usually your QB is always viewed as the leader of the team, but if he's average or a game manager, people don't see them as the face of their franchise.  You can usually see in game promotions on tv, who the media see as the face of their team and probably their best player.  Yet then we drafted Luke Kuechly.  This dude has already established himself to the level of Ray Lewis, if not close to it or better.  Now you see him in almost as many commercials as Cam, but I believe Cam has more official commercials than Kuechly right now. (commercials you can see in all states, and not just the Carolinas.  However Kuechly has done a pepsi commercial with Ron Rivera and I'm pretty sure that has gone national.)

 

I can't remember a time where you had two players on the same team, playing on opposite sides of the ball no less, that could be the face of the franchise for their respective team.  Both are excellent players, excellent leaders, and have a lot of heart.  What say you Panther Nation?  If you had to choose one, who would you say is the face of the franchise?

Cam. He's the QB.

extremly Proud to have both, but the QB is the guy people look at on every team. Brady, Brees, Rodgers, Manning.

This is Cams team

 

Yet those guys don't have anyone close to Kuechly on their teams.  Ray Lewis have shown us, it's possible for another position to be the face of your team.  Of course that being said, for most of his career, the Ravens didn't have a real QB to speak of.  Flacco came the closest to that, yet Lewis was firmly the face at that point.

Keuch is the Yin to Cam's Yang.

 

Where Cam rubs people wrong, Keuch rubs people right.  Cam has a much bigger appeal to youth because he's a cool cat, which Keuch fits an old school modest mantra.

 

Cam may be more important to winning games week to week, but having both gives us a seriously massive appeal as a team.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
