really trying to like this Newton guy...

What I really hate about analysts today is the fact that they require you to have talent all around you before you can be called elite. Forget that you carry a less than stellar offense, or the fact that you are one of the only reasons your team has had a chance to be competitive. Without Cam no one is even talking about us right now, even if we still had Luke.

"His 56.9 Total QBR last season ranked 18th and is one of many statistical elements that indicate he's far from an upper-tier quarterback."

Cam's QBR ranked 16th last year not 18th http://espn.go.com/nfl/qbr That's pretty solid, considering our O-line had Byron Bell, Silatolu, Velasco, and Chandler start most of last year along with having to adjust to a new set of WRs. And Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson, on much more talented offenses, ranked 11th and 12th in QBR.

Did y'all read the article?

But the truth of the matter is the Panthers' roster, or more specifically the terrible set of pass-catchers Carolina had last season, has held Newton back more than anything else.

The good news for Panthers fans is this: If Carolina's personnel upgrades at wide receiver pan out, Newton could close the elite on-field performance gap in a hurry.

    • well, players dictating things only works if you have the right collection of players to dictate things.  and in all honesty, not sure if we can answer if we do or don't as fans given......there are no Thomas Davis types around that we know are actually about X and Y (based on years showing it).  Collective team is too new to us to know what these dudes are really about in terms of players carrying the burden of culture. 
    • Moore can be put in one of the vet spots on IR. No one will be checking for him at the start of the season. But I would be very perturbed if we tried to go all Gettlemagic and stash an obvious talent like Horn on practice squad like we did Butker. If we can get through this year, next year it will be obvious Moore and AT will be gone, starting namely with AT's contract.  
    • Culture change comes from the top down, not from drafting a 3 and no D guard. I doubt Lamelo is gonna take his cues from this 20yr old kid lol. If Brandon Miller couldn’t change the culture with how good he is and how much he hustles on both ends, Kon Knueppel sure as hell ain’t changing it. Ace Bailey by all accounts is also a great teammate and hard worker, btw, who was drafted by a team he supposedly didn’t want to go to yet he immediately bought in. And he’s got actual length and tools on both ends of the floor. I feel this pick is going to age like milk rather quickly.
