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 was one of the Dareus fans

Was soooo tired of seeing teams run right up the gut.  Guess it is good I am not pulling the trigger.  But, we got Keek and Star in the next couple of seasons, so that fixed the middle

And takes us to super bowls and wins MVPs. I'm good with it, too

Hope the young man gets the help he needs. Still young enough to have a good career.

I have no idea what you're talking about

Eh, no need to gloat over it. Had too many family and friends struggle with addictions.

Hope he gets, and stays, ahead of his demons.

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.

We needed a QB it was a no brainer. Can't win without one and you can always double dip at DT and then triple dip at CB...wonder if he'll quadra kill it next draft....4 of what though? DE?

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.

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

Butler has a lot to live up to

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.

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
