The Face of the Panthers Franchise

[Matthias]

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

I'd say both but Luke gets the slight edge only because is the leader of the D which is top of the NFL.

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.

Wait, you think the face of the franchise is Panthers reporter Max Henson?

We could do worse!

Out of those two I'd have to go LK, but i'm always biased towards defense.

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.

who stands in front of the media every week to represent our team?

Too many faces. It's a good thing. Means we are getting stars in here. What is important is that they are being drafted.

[Lumps]

When we win a Super Bowl like those QBs have, it will be more clear this is Cams team. I think when a QB takes a team that far, they're career for that team is more solidified as their team for their nfl career.

Cam for the most part, but both are definitely faces of the franchise.
