Advance to 1:08:30  for Panther's talk.  

Excerpts:

(Simms) "I'm sick of the disrespect for Cam Newton. It actually really is starting to bother me."  (Hey Chris... call your Dad.)

(Simms) "The Cam Newton Effect is real."

(Kefkoe) "Surprise!  Bootleg!  How can you cover one side where McCaffrey is gonna run that's going to take all of your speed, but in the back of your head going "I also need to be ready to stop on a dime and go back to the other pylon because Cam Newton's strides are like the size of my body."

(Kefkoe, with sarcasm dripping) "Will he fall on a fumble?"

(Simms) "Don't think about "will he fall on a fumble", forget about those other 150 times he's run over middle linebackers."

(Kefkoe) "When you're a little cocky, man, people get really upset."

(Simms) "He's giving the ball and wrist bands to children."  (Kefkoe, sarcasm again) "What an asshole."

Agreed the Cam hate drives me absolutely nuts and I’m tired of the fumble joke too. Yes he should have jumped on it. Yes he will hear about it until he dies. But, honestly, Carolina wasn’t winning that Super Bowl regardless of Cam’s effort.

Offensice line was middle of the pack at best. 

Receivers wouldn’t start on most teams.

JStew and DHall weren’t game changers.

Outside of Norman our secondary was suspect.

Denver’s defense was perfectly built to shut that team down with insane amounts of pressure and by covering subpar receivers with above average corners.

The picture of his current stats compared to his MVP year so far is stunning.

Great analysis of the panthers offense.  Have to cover entire field and with so much movement its hard to know where the ball is going.  Its an offense never before seen and its because of #1.  A lot of respect for Cam in this vid, nice to see for a change.

You forgot the refs consciously cheating us out of the game. That was the biggest factor.

Needed receivers to convert 1st downs. Cam Newton was hitting them in the hands and they could not catch.

Who would have thought not addressing the receiver position would have ever been a problem.

I've distanced myself from it since that night and probably won't come near that stuff until we win it all, then it can just become apart of that journey and make the eventual win all the better. But yeah no chance I'm torturing myself like that.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
