Barring, a Panther or Newton Collapse (and with another NE loss), Cam Newton just won himself the MVP today. Or, should I say Newton cemented, if you thought he had the lead already!!

Do you guys agree. What you think?

Of course, we still got 4 games to go. Anything can happen. But man, this was another hell of a win (and we sure sweated it out), so why not be optimistic! LOL

And you know most of the country was watching this game!

BTW: Cam was clutch through out. But that running throw behind the LOS on 4th down to Olsen, and the last TD to "Clutchery (after surveying the field)" was great!

All this,  was after the man was twisted like a pretzel on a sack earlier, and could have been concussed on a big hit on a laize faire run near the endzone. Come on! Many of us were wondering if he'd even finish the game at some points.

Good Luck the next 4 games Panthers (and Cameron Newton)!

You may have shut up many of your critics (at least for now), if not won yourself an MVP!

Nah, not yet. Still have the Rodgers and Brady jock-riders, and the media to battle. He'll win it if we get to and win the Superbowl. Until then, it'll just be, "but look at his stats!" (which is bullshit, but par for the course with Cam Haters).

He hasn't won it yet, but it was a good first step in the last quarter of the season. He needs to average 250 yards passing, 2 passing tds, 20 rushing yards, and get like 2 or 3 rushing tds in the final 4 games to have the overall stats to win it. That would give him like 40 total tds 4000 total yards. With the wins that should give it to him.

I agree. Biggest knock on him as far as the MVP award has been his accuracy, but his throws were money after the 1st quarter except for that throw where he missed Philly.

The immaturity crowd was also silenced today by the way he responded after our offense crapped the bed in the 1st quarter. Our defense went to sleep in the 4th quarter too, but he decisively won a shootout with one of the best drew brees.

Like OP said, barring a complete collapse, we got coach-of-the-year, dpoy and mvp locked up. Our D may send like 7 people to the probowl too

Earlier in the year I was in a conversation about Cam being MVP. I said "if the Pantgers go 14-2, he'll win it."

but right now, there's little doubt that Cam is not only the team's MVP, but also the MVP of the best team in the NFL, which no one...and let me reiterate this again NO ONE, had us going 12-0 with a chance to go undefeated. 

best player on the best team = MVP

But the D carries us every week.....right?

You cant just say the defense won it this week or the offense, its a mixture, which was greatly demonstrated this week. In the first half the offense had three turnovers, one returned for a TD, but the other 2, they didnt even get field goals off of. The offense played bad in the first half but the defense stepped up, and vice versa for the second half.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
