Interesting take about the Panthers

Carolina Panthers

It's easy to pile on Cam Newton and I'm not defending his insipid press conference after losing to New Orleans on Sunday, though I do believe the behavior comes out of a genuine hatred of losing. Here's what one scout who dissected the game film of the Panthers/Saints on Sunday told me: "That kid is special. The defense can't stop anybody and they fall behind bid and he keeps fighting his ass off and he gets no help and they still tie the game at 38. The hits he took and the way he hung in there and then you have [Devin] Funchess, who sucks, dropping balls and even [Kelvin] Benjamin is dropping balls he should catch. If I'm the QB there I am ripping all of their asses in that locker room after the game. He's standing in there taking a high-low shot and making a perfect pass and they can't catch it? Yeah, I'd be frustrated after the game, too."

But he didn't smile after the game. 

I think everybody can pretty much admit he genuinely hates to lose and we can also admit that Cam gives more than his all more times than not. Sunday was particularly bitter because he brought them from a 21-0 deficit and tied the game. Gano missed a PAT at the end and the defense couldn't stop anyone. Frustrated surely, but I would be pissed.

Was listening to the Dan LeBatard show earlier and they had a guy on who analyzes quarterbacks. He said Cam was the #2 quarterback being held back by his supporting cast behind Aaron Rodgers. And that's in a MVP year. I think the stat was receivers left around 800 yards on the field. Most from Ginn of course.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
