Ladainian Tomlinson think it could happen and I agree. 
 
Panthers put Brady's record-tying day on hold by downing Pats

Tom Brady is one win from tying Brett Favre and Peyton Manning for most wins (186) by a starting quarterback in NFL history. Cam Newton finds his groove and spoils Brady's big day.

But my body....my bodys telling me yeeeheeeeheeessssss

As an older guy who has seen more than his share of time on the "playing field," and I ain't talking about a football field, if you get my drift, let me say that, far more often than not, when I've listened to my "body," instead of my mind, things haven't turned out so well. In other words, homer glasses are very similar to beer goggles.

LT also predicted Cam and Tyrod would throw for more combined yards than Drew and Tom week 2 so......

I feel like LT is always pushing the bold prediction agenda, but I kind of like it. Always gives me some strong hope... and then later it's crushed.

All my history of knowing the Panthers tells me this is a Pats blowout of epic proportions. Game might be over before halftime. But deep down I really hope all the obvious signs are wrong and the Panthers pull off a memorable upset

Not only that but this year is a scrap to get .500 year. Funny how no matter what coaches we have its always the same trend.

It’s because Richardson is intimidated by smart, driven football guys. He wants harmony in the front office and locker room over success. Case and point - Dave Gettleman. Gettleman ran the team like a business. He wasn’t overly friendly or polite. He was shrewd and made unpopular decisions in the best interest of the long term of the team. And he won. The panthers had the best run of success in their history under his watch. Now he’s gone and we’re back with good ol boy Hurney running the show, with brain dead Shula still calling plays. The Panthers are about to enter a very dark time that might not end until Richardson is long gone.

Ain't gonna happen but what to look for is more rhythm out of the offense and better play out of Cam. That's what you wanna see, I win is unlikely.  This is the 1st week the offense is in sort of a steady state with who they have.  I expect more cohesion and some of the rust to wear away from Cam....

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I have seen little inclination that they are laying down on him, that I can agree with. I don't think we are going to ever see much in the way of unfiltered opinions in the public realm from his teammates because that's extremely rare and extremely toxic behavior.  It's certainly a positive thing that they support him but, again, that doesn't make a successful NFL starting QB. Playing well on Sunday's does.  That is what has been lacking to date. He is not playing well consistently enough to be considered an NFL starting QB. He has to improve there. Be more consistent. Be more decisive. Make correct decisions more frequently.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's fine but for every Kurt Warner there are 10 Tony Banks that don't find their spot because....it never really existed.  Jake Browning was on and off practice squad teams for years until he stuck in Cincy. In his limited action over the past two seasons, he has played well enough that the Bengals panic traded for 41 year old Joe Flacco. It's easy to point to outliers like Warner or Purdy or Tom Brady as players who fell through the cracks because....well, they are outliers. The statistics over the long term have never really borne out the argument that every QB is just waiting for their perfect spot and situation. Most of these guys bounce around the league and it just never really clicks anywhere or they become marginal backup QB's. I don't think that exactly an accident. It's tough to be a starting NFL QB and it's why the hunt every offseason is so frantic. There are just so few that do it at a high level. My guess is that a theoretical market for Bryce Young(today) is going to look a lot like that post Chicago Justin Fields market. Not a lot of interest and a late round pick value at the highest. And a lot of that IS going to be his average to below average physical traits. It's extremely tough to be in that range and excel in the NFL. And it's precisely because you DO have to be closer to perfection to make up for the fact that you can't do a lot of the things that the elite to above average starters in this league do.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Im never not impressed by how confidently wrong you are. I've watched probably 200 NFL QBs play live. This talk about Bryce's arm strength is retarded, pure and simple. Bryce can make every throw an NFL QB needs to make in any circumstance. Does he have an arm that makes you go wow all the time? No, but very few QBs truly do. Bryce has plenty of zip on the ball when he wants. That TD to XL was a frozen rope. He throws to the opposite hash and outside all the time with no problem. Bryce's arm is objectively stronger than Cam's post-injury. I've seen both live multiple times and I know. And Cam could still play QB well without his rocket launcher. OPs point remains. QB success relies on a lot of nebulous things. Obviously you dont like Bryce. But his success is not going to be bc he doesn't have the arm strength. Its embarrassing this is a thing. Go to some games and actually educate yourself.
