I got poo'd from a couple of people for stating that I believe that Cam should've jumped on that fumble in the Superbowl.  I also said the same thing back then.  Reasoning being that you never know when you're going to get back.  A lot of people back then were saying that no he shouldn't risk it because of the injury risk.  But I say if you're in the Super Bowl you do what it takes to win. 

BTW...Jake Delhomme would've jumped on that fumble.

You do realize that the situation in that game changed everything?  Short field they get another TD.

End game stats
First downs-Panthers 21, Broncos 10

Total yards-Panthers-315, Broncos 194

 

Defining stat (of which Cam was a big part of) Turnovers-Panthers 4, Broncos 2

 

Cam cost us that game.  I don't forgive poor Super Bowl performances.  We should have had our first Super Bowl in SB50.

I'll bite on this. That one play did not lose us that game. It was a collection of bad plays, bad/no calls, and poor game preparation that lost us that game. Watch the positioning of the two closest Denver players on that play though, had Cam dove in for the ball he would have gone head first into the first Denver player and had the second one coming in to possibly lay another collision on him, which could have resulted in in being injured and out of the game. 

All in all, we lost, poo happens, it was four years ago. Move on.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
