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!

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      Boy we agree on the dink and dunk. I don’t want to watch that kind of football.  I mean okay if you win with it, it could be tolerable but it feels claustrophobic, constrained, limited, boring.  But for some reason I love a smash mouth heavy run game that wins the LOS and gets the backs to the second level.

      I am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore

      Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it.
