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.

      Sellers is absolutely one to keep an eye on. Could be the next Cam or could be the next Anthony Richardson. Curious to see how he has progressed come this fall.

      I think Texas could go 0-12 and he would still go #1 based on his name and traits like you say.  But nusselman and sellers may be actually better qbs.    Man if bryce stinks it up this season its looking like a damn good year to swap out qbs.  Sellers highlights are just fuging jaw dropping

      I mean, the kid comes from a wealthy family. It's not like he needs the money. He has a ton of potential now we get to see what he can do as a starter. Everyone penciling him in as the #1 overall pick is putting the cart way before the horse. It's 5% because of his talent and what he's showing on the field and 95% because his last name is Manning. And if he is what he's hyped to be the Texas coaching staff needs to be answering some tough questions about why the kid wasn't on the field sooner. Ewers was a good college QB but he's definitely not a "keep a future #1 overall pick waiting" type of college QB. Only getting one season out of a top NFL talent because you chose to keep him buried behind a borderline NFL talent is just coaching negligence. Not starting him as a true freshman? Yeah, I get that. But on year two if the kids is what he's hyped to be you gotta wish Ewers well elsewhere and turn the page.
