I gotya but Im just gonna say that there a lot of people on this website, who I will hesitate to call fans, that also thought we were done. After hearing the whining year in and year out for a new receiver, its gets tiring telling them that it doesnt matter that much. They were certain that the missing piece to Steve Smith was . . . another receiver. lol, not, you know, a guy that can throw him the ball, maybe.

 

Will it sink in now?

 

NOPE! They have already been people asking for which receiver we will get next year around the local radio clown shows. Tune in to WFNZ for more thought provoking radio including "DOES CAM DANCE TOO MUCH?" and . . . . . . "Is it ok to be confident?". Ive never seen a large population of men become such effeminate pansies.

I have been critical of Cam in the past. Been called a racist on this site because of my username for doing it. All I was doing was voicing what I saw on the field.

Our improvement this year on O is 20% better line play, 20% a healthy J Stew/Tolbert and 60% improvement in Cam Newtons game. When was the last time you saw a throw sail over the head of a receiver like we have in years past? Cam has evolved into a legitimate MVP level QB. You could see it start to happen in 2013. Injury slowed it in 2014 but the guy has become what we hoped for in 2015.

I cannot remember a single int this year that was just a bad high throw from Cam. Bad decisions, sure. Bouncing off receivers' hands, too many. But high throws that sail over the receiver into the waiting arms of the defense? not one. At least that I can remember.

Me either. It was so prevalent last year Igo was posting threads with pictures of Cams footwork.

Nobody on this board thought we would even have a top half offense.  Neither did the media or any objective observer outside the organization.  I thought we could be competitive with our defense, but I don't think anyone could have seen this coming.  

And the scary thing is that the offense continues to get better, and the defense is playing at a dominant level again.  Yesterday was sobering b/c of the injury scares, and losing Benwikere concerns me (especially if we play AZ), but this team truly has the make-up to win the Super Bowl this year.

The playoffs are going to be a lot of fun.  This season has been incredible.

I'll never forget sitting in the press box just before the Patriots preseason game, Sal Paolantonio walks in with all the local Panther beat writers around and proclaims "How many games the Panthers gonna win this year, SIX?! Gonna be tough to win if you can't score more than 16 points a game!".

Good call Sal.

I agree with you In part, but I wouId say that a lot of what people are callIng Improvement on his part Is actually what happens when he's not running for his proverbial life.

I'm betting a lot of folks would not like to see those preseason - or even early season - threads bumped.

Heck, there were people ready to jump off a bridge on the first day of free agency because we didn't make any big flashy moves like other teams.

 

Ha! Not me. ;)

      Meh… I wish there was a network that has all sports.  This thing will fail.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.

      I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
