Ditka Says It

Hope somebody can find a video but during the Monday Night Pregame stuff he said something along the lines of "Cam Newton is your National Football League MVP. Without him, the Panthers would be lucky to be .500." I love DA, he's the best backup in the league and one of my favorite Panthers (that is 1 of over 50 but still...), but it's true. With him we'd be around 6-6. Ditka's the first I've heard say that but others will follow soon.

 

Cam for MVP.

Derek Anderson has nothing to do with the MVP conversation. Never understood people that want to bring backups into the discussion.

me neither...i also find it insulting to assume the panthers would be .500 at best with probably the best back up qb in the league under center.

would the panthers be undefeated? probably not. but with the way the team is playing as a whole, i believe the panthers would still win the nfcs with anderson leading the way.

Cam is great and playing at the highest level of any single player in the league right now. But one outstanding player doesn't get you to 12-0... he is surrounded by a quality team of good and better players, along with a few stars in their own rights.

He's great, but there's a certain amount of magic to this team. It is the definition of complimentary football.

It isn't just that simple as taking one quarterback out, and putting another one in.

Cam is a huge part of why our run game is so successful, and at the top of the league right now. Stewart has been great for us, and Tolbert has done a good job as well, but if you subtract Newton's near 500 yards, and 7 touchdowns from our run game, not to mention all his first down scrambles, this is a very different offense. Suddenly our run game is not as much of a strength because the threat of Newton running is not there to keep defenses honest. That leaves DA who is generally not very mobile to lean on our WR core led by Ted Ginn Jr.

      Would you swap keeping Burns for Horn?

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Burns quit on his team, full stop. Burns was and continues to be a liability in the run.    JC has never looked this bad before the concussion. He always was a very solid tackler, from what I remember.  I’ll take the overall body of his work over his current down stretch. I’ve never had to question his heart. The FO has royally screwed up roster management in many other deals but retaining Horn continues to be the right move. He will be back to form next season.

      I get it. I was making a joke that we have zero chance of winning.

      Some ALL-22 clips…

      Did Bryce play bad? Yes. Did the whole offense play bad? Yes.  Was Canales bad with his playcalling? Yes. Now with that being said I don't put this loss solely on Bryce Young. The seahawks are a much more talented team than us and to win in a scenario like that you need some luck which we didn't have that day.  Bryce has shown this year that you can win with him at QB but the problem is that he doesn't have the ability to elevate the rest of the team around him. Bryce was a number 1 overall pick who we traded a haul of assets to get going into the end of his 3rd year the expectations need to be much higher than 54 yards passing.  It's been nice to get some wins this year and have a chance to make the playoffs and Bryce has played a part in that but at some point the front office needs to see that you can't keep giving Bryce a pass for these low production games.
