Cam is a good player. Not great.

 

He's a less-than average thrower with bad decision making. His legs are what makes him special.

 

Combined with a big arm, he has all the talent in the world. But he has terrible balance and throwing mechanics on his throws. Add in his bad decision making, and all that talent goes to waste.

 

Seattle did exactly what they needed to do to win. Make Cam a passer.

 

IMO, he could be an elite QB if he could learn how to be an effective thrower.

 

Until then, he's gonna be stuck in the middle of the pack.

But DA has played so exceptionally well he deserves a strong look. First DA looks good in training camp and all I hear is "its only training camp!" Then he looks good in pre season and all I hear is "its just pre season!" Then he plays two regular season games and looks like Peyton Manning, and all I hear is "but its teh Bucz!!"

DA has done enough to atleast warrant some cnsideration about rolling with him. He is just such a great passer from the pocket. Why on earth will you handicap your salary cap by signing Cam to a huge mega contract when a guy like DA can possibly do better for fraction of the cost.

What would you rather have, spend all your money on Cam and as a result have a bad team around him, or roll with DA and use that money for a elite WR and O line pieces?

 

LOL!

Anderson is a backup, and should stay one.

Cam actually played better than I thought he would (not good enough tho). and the defense played worse than I thought they would.

This was actually Cam's best game against the hawks and he did it on the road in the playoffs.

And when judging Cam's performance, you have to compare it to how other QB's fared. The Mannings and Rodgers of the world. Look up how they did..

Do you think about things before you say them or nah?

And despite getting 1/10 the talent that Ryan has/gets...he has the same amount of playoff victories...

And ofcourse I get the typical response with no valid arguments to disprove why im wrong on DA. Ok let me put it this way, in your opinion is Cam Newton worth 145 million?! Its a yes or no question because he will NOT, I repeat, WILL NOT settle for anything less. Especially now with a playoff win

You made a point, our defense really didn't perform well, especially the secondary.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
