You don't think a similar mindset eventually seeps in with the fashion stuff?

Is it because he's wearing a scarf or is it because he's a black quarterback wearing a scarf?

Let's not pretend like there haven't been underlying issues and walls that have had to be broken with the QB position specifically in relation to being a black quarterback in the NFL.

You don't think Aaron Rodgers would be mercilessly laughed at week after week if he showed up wearing Cam's outfits with a scarf, etc? Just as many of my black friends clown Cam for his wardrobe as do my white friends.

Igo you seem to show more concern for how our white running back is perceived by 1 troll than the continued obvious hatred hurled at Newton by racists, or "knuckleheads" as you refer to them for some reason.

I think the huddle has run it's course for me.

I've banned countless racists from this joint and will continue to do so. Stop throwing tantrums.

For some people, sure. I don't think it's the majority though. I don't think not liking Cam's outfits or making fun of them makes one a racist. A douche, sure. Not a racist necessarily.

If you look like a clown, you get treated like a clown. No one cared when we were winning what he wore, but when you look crazy after a loss, it's just another talking point. Not hard to comprehend really. And we know, based on the Amazon show, how much time, thought and consulting goes into his carefully articulated outfits. I've never once said anything about what he wears because I don't care, but Cam is smart enough to know that people will talk about his outfits afterward, no matter whether it is justified or not.

Dual threat vs Pro Style lingo.

 

Josh Allen is a winner vs Lamar Jacksons intelligence questioned

 

Twice as likely to be benched. (Backed by facts)

 

A dual threat QB is expected to do everything right. 

I agree with all this.  As Panthers fans we have all experienced it with how Cam was treated by the media early in his career... however, if you're trying to apply the logic to a severely underperforming, injury-prone 8 year vet, you're mistaken.  The criticisms against Cam right now have absolutely nothing to do with his race and you know it.

What about bad Qbs who start and continue to start even on different teams 

Remember the Blaine Gabbert on  the 9ers is just as good as Cam argument early in 2015 

 

If someone thought Blaine Gabbert was as good as Cam, I just don't think I could have football discussions with that person any longer.

Can you just stick to the video. Thanks

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.

      We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
