Yahoo Sports: Is Cam Most Underrated QB?

The article was spot on.  Cam doesn't get the credit he deserves.  He is playing through pain and doing it with flair and good quarterbacking from the pocket.  He took a beating but never went out or complained.  He looked in mid-season form with very little practice. 

 

And people stop trying to defend him from any criticism.  He absolutely did sulk on the bench when he made a mistake and it affected his future play in year 2.  He did struggle with mechanics although he has looked more solid this year even with the limited reps.

 

 

Cam is not infallible or superman but yesterday he was very very good against a lot of adversity

I honestly don't want people to change their mind. This city... This town... responds better, plays better when we're hated, overlooked, and undermined.

 

Ive been a Panther fan since 95. We are an elite team and we know it... But Im not looking for anyone to validate... its nice when it happens. I believe this team plays better when we're not respected.

Seriously? Because it is well known Jordan Gross and other leaders went to him last year and told him to stop doing it.

We went 12-4. Wasn't much opportunity to sulk

Cam starts getting whipped and he will sulk and be ticked just like Peyton, Brady etc will. They just don't have a towel....bc for whatever reason a towel that you also wear while curbstomping people is a huge deal

There was when they were 0-2.  Gross and even Cam have commented publicly on these conversations.  They didn't feel it was good for the rest of the team to see him sulk on the sidelines.  And Cam has really changed his demeanor on the sidelines since then.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
