Peyton Manning stormed off the field in 2010.

I'm just gonna put this here.

I'm sure there were better ways to handle it... but it's not like he's the first QB to ever have a hard time losing the SuperBowl. I tend to think it's good company. 

But I also want to note how hypocritical it is for a league that is RANK with corruption and scandal to be preachy about "sportsmanship." But that's for another day.

To me not congratulating your opponent on the field of battle right after the game is much worse than not wanting to take predictably moronic questions from the press or listen to your gloating opponents comments.

it's been pointed out over and over again that peyton manning and other high profile quarterbacks act exactly like cam did when they're losing or getting killed

but cam will forever and always be the guy who stole a laptop and dances instead of "acting like he's been there" and tossing the ball to the ref when he scores a touchdown in the minds of a lot of people so the double standard at play here is virtually a moot point

If I remember correctly Peyton was slammed in the media after that.

i remember him being pretty unfairly slammed as a crybaby and choker for years.  he was regarded as a stat padder who piled up numbers and accolades in the regular season but crumbled under real pressure.  the peyton manning as we know him now only really started to take shape after super bowl xli.

I think it's also worth noting that I believe that the Peyton Manning from this year was 33 years old?

    • 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. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
