Both of them basically called out the national media for claiming RW to be better than Cam simply because RW had a better team that was getting the win against Cam's lesser team in the past. Said theres no way you could watch yesterday's game and say you would take RW over Cam, and that really RW has never done anything better than Cam, and that RW has just had way more help. Also talked about how much the media would be praising RW if he was the one with 4 80yard drives with no name receivers and how they would be talking about what a winner he is. I guess winning cures everything huh?

RW is basically in the same situation Cam was in at the beginning of last year. Mediocre receivers, bad o-line, good TE and the defense not playing as well as they are capable of. I'm taking Cam over him every time but if anyone should be sympathetic to Wilson's current situation it should be us.

Bomani gets accused of making everything about race on twitter. 

He just happens to be a really smart guy whose gifted at calling out certain biases... This one happens to include two QB's who are black. Glad somebody in the media is this honest. He's one of my favorites. 

He's good on TV but you really get a better feel for him on his radio show.

Sorry but,

They almost feel like a division rival

And LeBatard is nothing if not honest in his assessment. I've said before he's the best on the radio. I think Bomani used to cover college teams down in NC. Trey Wingo was giving MVP talk to Cam all day as well.

The LeBatard show is awesome. Genuinely funny, good mix of personalities, and very self-aware. Highly Questionable (the TV show on ESPN2) is great as well.

I'm a cord cutter so no ESPN, but listen to both Bomani and Dan regular on Sirius. I like Dan, but Bomani is absolutely fantastic and is completely deserving of his own show. One of the best radio hosts I've heard in a long long time. Both are great guys that speak their mind and don't follow the narrative. Refreshing.

that's fair. I probably should have said understanding of his situation since Cam has been through the same stuff and gotten criticized for something he can't really help.

 

i don't feel bad for him or that pompous team and fan base.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.

      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.
