Cam is going win us a superbowl. Then throw up his middle finger to all the people that keep talking about not diving on the ball. Like that one bad play defines his entire career. Keep Pounding!!!

I have not heard anything about that in years.  The criticism was not for "one bad play," it  was because he had a reputation (deserved or not)  for pouting when the chips were down.  Again, I  have not seen that side of him in a long time.

Cam has grown up a lot over the years, but that's kind of to be expected by anyone from the time they are 21 to 30. It's when people don't grow and gain wisdom over those times that you really should worry. That's how you get Johnny Manziels, and nobody really wants one of those on their hands.

Cam was an extremely gifted athlete who got some opportunities, made a mistake or two, had to earn his way back, got to move to the NFL  as the #1 draft pick, earned millions, dazzled even more millions, then got knocked around in front of the world during a championship game. It broke him that night in front of a live television audience and the man let his emotions get the best of him. He could have just disappeared or let it sour him, but he came back, determined and eventually found his joy again. He's working through another one of those lifetime trials right now and I hope to see him grow even more and come back reforged, refined and reinvigorated.

Time will tell, but young Mr. Newton has certainly showed he is made of strong stuff. And  yes, he's still very much a young man, and that can be a very good thing.

I just take that as him saying that he isn't going to to play scared. We saw early past year that the offense is going to feature a lot of quicker, easier passes to complete and that will likely remain true even if Cam gets his fast ball and deep ball back. It's something many of us had been begging for during the Shula era.

What is the deal with you wanted to start an untried rookie over the one and only cam?

Looks like he has gone to be with michaelinraleigh, his threads and posts have disappeared as well. I guess they will go create a Cam bashing forum.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      So answer the question. Why did Chark and Hurst have the same metrics (go look them up, I did... and one was actually worse in LA) with Justin Herbert? Why did Mingo have the same metrics with Dak? You're right, there is a common denominator, just not the one you're trying to make.  Why could DJ Moore get open with Bridgewater, Allen, Cam 2.0, Darnold, Baker, Williams, Bagent? I'll answer the question for you - because he is a good WR unlike Chark/Hurst/Mingo.

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.
