I was never a hater, just a realist I was on board as 100% in 2013 before that I had my doubts he had put up great numbers but constantly came up short in the clutch....

for me he has proven not just to be clutch now but to be the dynamic performer we all knew he could be.... I for one have never had an issue with his personality I love that he showboats I love the fact that he hates losing so much that it disgusts him and gets to him....

My only issue was his "it" factor his first two seasons.... And idiot fans who were constantly annointing him the goat back in 2012.... Before he was a proven winner at the NFL level. 

Im on board with Cam until he retires now....He's earned it.

"Just a realist" probably the go to line for all the Cam haters.

So you had your doubts about Cam because he couldn't take a 2-14 team to the playoffs during his rookie and sophomore seasons? Or that he "wasnt clutch"? I guess it was Cam's job to play D or even kick FG's too huh?

So much dumb all in one post. Don't worry though, you're in the majority when it came to thinking that way! 

I fully expect all the haters to be out in full force if the Panthers were to have a crappy season.

took an MVP season and a superbowl appearance for them to come around. 

If Cam gives them anything less from here on out, they'll jump back on that haterade train. 

just the sad reality

Only one way to improve...

It was easy for many to hate on Cam becuse he's so flamboyant and has such a huge personality. It manifested itself in a bunch of ways that were different. I recall beinglukewarm on Cam prior to the draft.  I didn't think he could become a #1 worthy QB...  I supported him when he was drafted. Then once I started to see more of me, the more I've fallen for Cam.  By the regular season of his rookie year, I have been in full man crush mode on Cam.

The fact is, Cam has truly broken the molds.  If people want to hate on him, it's honestly becuase they can't be him or us.  Cam's the man!

I love how the realist title is now used on the huddle for all the critics and complainers who try to make their posts sound reasonable.  You were just responding to extreme fanboys with your own negative extremism. Your views were no more realistic and reasoned than theirs were

 In the end they were right and you weren't. No backpedaling needed.

For the future, a realistic post for Cams early performance would include his potential and note he has way over performed where everyone thought he would be and is working hard to get better every day. Any shortcoming he has were a function of inexperience which all QBs struggle with early in their careers.

    • What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
