Jeremy, you know me well enough to know I don't bullshit when it comes to accolades.  You, my friend, need to be a full time reporter.  This full article was fantastic.  You do a fantastic job with this message board.  The price is a bargain.  Thanks for what you do.

​Honestly this is the reason I didn't hesitate when it came to going All-Pro.  I don't post.  I don't contribute.  But I spend hours each day reading quality information here that's so good I felt bad about getting it for free.  This place is great, and has been my main time sink since I found it years ago.  

 

So..Yes..Thank you for what you do, it is greatly appreciated.

Ed Dickson told me personally Cam was the toughest player he'd ever played with, and credits him for wanting to stay.  Who wouldn't want to be a part of the greatest dynasty of the salary cap era right?  Other 31-prepare thy anus.

The point you made that I find most interesting (and it makes perfect sense), was the connection between his foot injury to the high throws--pre and post surgery, it was a problem.  High throws are all about the feet--not stepping into the throw, attempting to compensate for the lack of power with the arm alone.  Accuracy always suffers.  I connect that with the accuracy on the deep ball, something he has not had for a year or two.  Hmmm. 

Now we have a stable full of burners who can get deep (Brown, Funchess, Ginn, Hill).  The line has improved.

Another thing--this is probably why Cam has not signed a new deal yet.  If I were his agent, I would not encourage him to enter his biggest contract negotiations after a year where he was hurt most of the time.  If I were Gettlemen, I would not want to pay a man $23m per season until I had seen consistent play. 

If Cam has a great season, DG has no problem writing a check for $22-25m--he has been positioning the roster so he can do that.  Both sides want 2015 to show them what the actually have in Cam Newton.

​Thanks, I know I am not much of a writer. Was never a strong suit of mine even in highschool. But hopefully people can get some enjoyment out of their pedestrian nature. lol

I to appreciate your hard work, and the unique insight and perspective you bring to Huddle.

In your opinion,  why is Cams health in contrast to last season  not a bigger story from the national sports writers when analyzing the Panthers 2015 prospect of success?

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
