Remember the ol' Cam Newton/Marcell Dareus debates back in 2011?

Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus has left the team and intends to enter a rehab facility.

“After careful consideration of recent events within my life, I have made the decision to enter a rehabilitation facility,” Dareus said in a statement released by the team. “I feel this is the best decision for me, my family and my teammates as I move forward with my career. I appreciate the support of my teammates and the Bills organization through this process.”

 

Meanwhile, Cam eats fish and occasionally goes to a strip club.

I love reading those old pre draft Cam threads. The people who think they know so much about football, we're so wrong when it came to Cam. Lol one guy in there was adamant the panthers were not taking a "running QB." Thread made me laugh, but I also miss some of the good posters we had back then: King Taharqa, DaCityKatz, JTNC, blackcat. They all fought the good fight, and were some of the originals of the Cam brigade.

In regards to Dareus, I hope he gets the help he needs and is able to resume his career without relapse. He's a good player.

It's truly amazing to really see how far we have come as a franchise since the Cam draft. I just rewatched some of his Auburn highlights and man he is exactly the same fun player that people surround themselves with. Now the Panthers are all dancing, having fun and taking pictures. Its amazing what 1 player can do to a franchise.

Those were embarrassing days for the huddle. It went well beyond simply being a decision though. Some people held that grudge literally for years just waiting for him to make any kind of mistake so they could gloat about being right.

Our drafts have been yuuuuuge since 2011.  Hitting on every 1st rounder. 

Butler has a lot to live up to

We pretty much have nailed our first round talent since the Seifert era ended.

only guy flop was Otah and it wasn't a talent flop because he was practically an All Pro RT out of the gate

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
