Pumped up about the preseason kicking off tonight. So much to look for in terms of depth in certain positions, and the development of some of the young guys.

Just a reminder: One month from today, Cam will suit up for his first regular season game since his shoulder surgery.

And that got me thinking: this guy is already in year nine. 

So here’s a little something I put together. Nothing fancy. Just a few of my favorite moments from a truly fascinating football player. 

I hope it resonates with you guys.

Good feedback. The concept was the old vet jogging onto the fields of training camp, with a chronology of big plays running thru his mind. 

I see your point, tho. Good feedback. 

For that try a slow-mo close up of QB1 with a transparent montage.  That might create the desired effect.

I wish I had my tools (Adobe...my computer...etc) for this, but I slapped this together on Luma Fusion like a sociopath while sitting for a few hours at my kids school registration extravaganza. (Good times)

I could see the concept, and I like it. Just a bit frustrating to see a play you know is a touchdown fade out before the ball crosses the line....lol

No need to downplay what you got here.  It's awesome.  Just adding my vid/edit eye 2 cents to the convo.  You obviously know what you're doin.

My background is in radio. I’m just getting into this video production nonsense as a hobby. It’s tedious, and fun...and my hat’s off to guys like  LilSmitty. It’s a labor of love to do this thing to the level that he does it. 

Kevin over at the RR it is damn good too. In any event, it was fun putting it together on a whim.

Still can’t believe this year 9 for Cam. For all the haters out there, this guy has produced some great moments.

Not to get corny here, but that was sort of a judgment call on my part artistically. Good Lord, now we’re gearing into a sad territory LOL. Sorry guys, let’s grab a cold beer and enjoy some football tonight.

I appreciate that. Amazingly, with kids screaming in the background and doing it all on a iPhone, I thoroughly enjoyed it. 

Now if you wanna talk about quality content, here you have it. Whoever shot this video deserves an Emmy.

IMO Cam's just getting into his prime years as a QB, with sports science where it is now. I bet he'll play into his late 30s. IDK if he'll play as long as Brees/Brady seem to be going though.

He's had a bit of an up and down ride for the first half of his career. But in that 8 years he's: 

  • Won Rookie of the Year
  • Won MVP
  • 3 Pro Bowl Nominations
  • Has won 56% of games he played (regular season)
  • Carried a young small market franchise to its best season and 2nd super bowl berth
  • Already broken the record for QB total rushing TDs , and well on his way to outstripping Cunningham and Vick as the all time leader in total QB rushing yards
  • Amassed 240 total touchdowns 
  • Got almost 30,000 passing yards and almost 5000 rushing yards, which is particularly bonkers

If he doubles his current numbers by the end of his career or wins a SB within a few more seasons he's pretty much sure fire HoFer IMO.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
