The Panthers in general are not going to get much respect until they start stringing together winning seasons. Inconsistency with our franchise is well beyond Cam Newton .

Remember when we were winning in 2015 and people kept making excuses as why we were winning? And these same nfl fans were so quick to jump up and down and proclaim how much we suck in 2016? Yeah some of that is Cam haters but alot of it is they don't respect a franchise thats known for its inconsistency and 7-9 or 6-10 seasons

Lol, excuses excuses excuses...

Cam came into the tougher division and talent deprived team but this moron had the audacity to pull "well, if they switched teams" angle. Luck is not a precision passer and has suspect decision-making. Say what you want about Cam, but he won't throw for 4 interceptions in back to back games. He's overcompensated for his teammates too.

What would luck do with the 2015 team? One could wonder..

And this is why I didn't click on the video. They're so damn predictable and boring. Hell, I've been critical of Cam at times too but I believe he's going to light it up this year. He just needs to let those playmakers do a little more of the work.

Probably go 6-10 or worse. Yes the defense bailed us out a few games but Luck isn't running or extending plays like Cam did that year.
Not saying you do but a lot of the talking heads fail to mention the Colts made sure he had weapons to throw to. If the O-line excuse doesn't work for us why does he get a pass?

Anybody can look these stats up, but here ya go:

(and yes I realize Cam has been in the league 1 year longer and ppl still want to knock Cam for his completion %)

I mean when you consider the stats and the fact that Cam has achieved so much more with less up to this point in their careers.....I don't really see how it's even very close. 

Oh well, it's ESPN so who cares and as has already been mentioned; we won't get respect (the team as a whole or Cam) until we can win consistently.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
