What do you think about this? They basically all picked Luck over Cam . I thought this is kinda an interesting topic to revisit, after this had been talked about when I was first coming here to the huddle in 2010 season (before Luck declared he would go back to school alot of Panther fans were thinking we would draft him ). This might be a stupid question to ask Panther fans but I'm still very intersted to see what you have to say.

I think most members of the media keep making excuses for Luck and seem very forgiving / more prone to look for his strengths and they seem to view Cam in the opposite way. With Cam they are often trying to focus on the negatives . 

I don't really like Steven A Smith that much but he brought up a great point. With all the negative press Cam gets, he doesn't really deserve it all because he's been an upstanding citizen and never gets into trouble yet the media and 95 percent of other NFL fans are constantly villifying him.

The media absolutely hates to admit that there wrong. Cam was painted as the self absorbed bust waiting to happen while luck was portrayed as the aw shucks can't miss future HOFer GOAT QB prospect ever. Every chance they get, even if it's forced, they'll revert back to those storylines.

I saw that. He's Edwards said something like cam looks at one route and then takes off running. If I'm not mistaken (someone on here may know) he only scrambled like 5 times. Most of his runs are designed. I know several ppl on here wanted to see cam take off and run more.

Teddy Bruschi said the same thing. He said Cmc won't help us that much bc cam looks at one guy and runs. Such ill informed douche nozzles. It's always bs against cam. They are both great players. Cam is a better football player and I'd take him over Luck any day. Luck "may" be a better passer, but I'd take cam still because he is such a threat.

like The Red said, when Luck wins an MVP with Teddy as his #1, then we can debate. Also, cam still just about had 4000 yards. His season wasn't great last year, but it was bad either. He will bounce back. 

I love how he has one down year and everyone forgets everything he has done.

Similar stats, Luck has one less season though. Cam a much better athlete. Any team should be happy with either QB. Will the Huddle EVER get over Luck?

 

What if I told you it's still not over Tom Brady?

The Huddle didn't bring up the Luck vs Cam topic, though. First take did, and we're discussing it.

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
