Is Cam really focused on football?

Recommended Posts

Certain guys embrace football as a career, become analysts, announcers, personalities, etc. They intertwine themselves with the networks and league for years to come.  I.E. Mark Schlereth, Nate Burleson, etc. 

Others fade away into obscurity/family life/other jobs/etc. I.E. Ben Coates, Natrone Means, Eddie George

Then you have the breeds who have created/built a brand.  Football isn't a career but one of the many outlets they will use in their lifetime.  They still may love the sport but their overarching goal is to establish, grow, and create a brand, businesses, and other ventures.  They are entertainers. 

Don't mean to generalize, but it's 3 distinct paths you'll see.

“Fans” always get around to asking this question.

But, for some reason, fans never ask this:

Is RON really focused on football?  And if you immediately answer “yes” to this question, what if I clarify that by “football” I mean “NFL football as supported by NFL rules and regulations as played in the year 2019 and not the year 1980”?

Now is your answer the same?

Hell yeah man I was sitting here thinking to myself "you know what the Carolina fuging Huddle Dot Com needs?  More takes on Cam's clothes.  In fact I might go find the tallest building I can and jump off it if I don't get to read another thread about Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am God Damn Son of Sam Cam's scarves".  So thank you OP

And btw, off subject but Olsen needs to hang it up, dude makes one play and has to gingerly limp to the sidelines. If it’s not his foot, it’s his back if it’s not his back then it’s a bloody nose. He’s done

So the question would be, why did the staff decide to keep him ? I said it on the walk back to the hotel after the game, Rivera is always a day late and a dollar short on decision.  Cam should have been benched in the second half of this game......while we all love Olsen he should not be playing in the NFL any longer.  He has used up his body is is no longer the threat he was.

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
