You should have listed all the other number one picks that were QBs. There has only been a couple others and they were probably browns type teams, no one will save the browns with just a QB pick

1998 Peyton Manning, Colts

1999 Tim Couch, Browns

2001 Michael Vick, Falcons

2002 David Carr, Texans

2003 Carson Palmer, Bengals

2004 Eli Manning, Chargers/Giants

2005 Alex Smith, 49ers

2007 JaMarcus Russell, Raiders

2009 Matthew Stafford, Lions

2010 Sam Bradford, Rams

2011 Cam Newton, Panthers

2012 Andrew Luck, Colts

2015 Jameis Winston, Buccaneers

2016 Jared Goff, Rams

 

14 first overall QBs out of 20 drafts... That's a lot. And not all to sh*tty teams or organizations. The track record of first overall QBs since Peyton really is not good. Cam's by far easily the best outside of Peyton and I'm glad we hit on him.

Off the top of my head, Luck, Vick, Goff. Browns haven’t even taken a QB #1. They usually take them in the 20s or later

On the one hand, that stat is surprising. You'd expect elite QB prospects to be participating in more Super Bowls. On the other hand, teams that are in the position of landing the #1 overall pick and in sad ass shape and it's a long, uphill battle for teams in those positions and a very tough spot to be in for a young QB. I'd be willing to bet that a lot of those careers may have turned out better had those young men been able to land in better situations for their development. Then you have guys like Palmer, Luck, Stafford, Smith, etc. who are good QBs they just haven't made it to a Super Bowl. I mean hell, Dan Marino only played in one Super Bowl and that was his rookie year and he's still considered one of the greatest QBs ever. Football is the ultimate team sport. The greatest of QBs can only do so much to carry a team that just plain isn't good enough.

The point is we absolutely hit on Cam as our pick, and he is really just like the Manning brothers. 

And we are lucky. So there's that. 

The only people that dont like Cam are people that will never like him. I won't get into the reasons, but we all know them

except both of them won their first Super Bowls

I guess you could say Payton didnt win the SB until his age 30 / 9th season , so.. that would be the equivalent of Cam winning the SB in the 2019 season. 

oh actually Eli won in his age 26 season (equavlent of Cam's 2015 season /age 26) and Eli won the 2nd SB in his age 30 season (just like above/ would be Cam's 2019 season)

...maybe some signs we'll go back to the SB in 2019? lol. It kinda makes sense tho. We'll have new Owner , new OC, new DC, new Dline coach, possibly new GM, and probably some new players or players that havent been featured that much in the past will be more of the focus in the future. Probably take a year to get some cohesion and make a decent playoff run next year, and then when the SB the following year? 

Somehow I think we'll win a SB within the next 4 years. And finally get a "America's Game " documentary about the Panthers made!

      Disturbing

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Eric Collins Calling First NFL Game (ours)

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
