The "what if Cam Newton did this....." columns are getting out of control

Cam is well on his way to becoming the face of the NFL. His name is going to be popping up everywhere for a wide variety of reasons. The bottom line is that if Cam were white, then very few people would care about his showboating. The media can bring up this fact for at least a few more years before it's going to become stale.

Oh no, even if we do win SB51 the media will find a way to downplay Cam and our guys victory. Carolina never has been a team that the media likes to say good things about, and that was even before we got Cam lol. Oh well, they had better get used to it since I see our team being front runners for many upcoming years.

I dont know why all this attention is a bad thing. For a solid 10 years everyone outside of Carolina thought the only player on our team was Steve Smith. Now we're the most talked about team in the league. Im kinda enjoying it honestly

i don't think i've ever seen a losing super bowl team get so much coverage.  maybe the 18-1 patriots were close.

but yes, the days of the panthers being a sleepy little forgettable southern team with no real household names are over

Yes becuase Panthers never won the big game. Until we get the rings we will be downplayed, things will change next year.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
