The world is freakkin backwards. The adults act like kids and the kids act like the mature adult ones. I kid you not, I was trying to have a football conversation about the Panthers at work and the "adult" went on this tantrum about how he hates Cam and stormed off like a little child. Later that day went I get off work, I stopped by the store to get some things and when I came out, this kid noticed my Panthers beanie and started talking nonstop about Panther football and how he loves the way Cam plays. Fug it, I'm going to just talk to kids about football.

The hate is unreal. What has Cam done to deserve the hatred of opposing fans? His foundation, feeding 900 hungry kids at Thanksgiving?, Perhaps his summer kickball tournament that raises money for disadvantaged youth?  Or is it making a kids dream come true on a Sunday at BoA by giving him/her a ball? Really I can't figure it out. Jealousy, Racism, or plain old garden variety stupidity? 

A lot of the hate goes back to his college days at Auburn and leading them to the national title. Auburn isn't a part of the elite blueblood club so when they won the title it rustled a lot of jimmies. You also have to keep in mind that Auburn's 3 biggest rivals are Alabama, Georgia, and LSU in that order. And when you think about the closest NFL teams to those college programs you can see why there was hate carried on to his NFL career. Atlanta and New Orleans know that he is ruling the division and beat their arses when he was at Auburn. Bama is the hot national bandwagon team now with their recent run of success and they still haven't and will never get over the 2010 Camback game when Cam brought Auburn back from 24-0 to win. Bama fans will go to their graves hating Cam.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
