Strange Question!...
If Cam never plays again he may struggle to get into the HoF.
If Cam plays another 5 succesful seasons he will be a HoFer.
But who will talk about Mahomes, Watson, Jackson or Prescott if they get hurt this season and never play again? Maybe nobody!
Only Russell Wilson could stop playing now and will be remembered forever. Maybe Cam too!

I'd actually rate Newton above McNabb.

WCO QBs are just about always overrated, especially the one in Andy Reid's system.

What kind of odds are you putting on Cam going to the Chicago Bears?

Apparently there's some sort of rhetoric out there that the Bears and Cam are simpatico....

....your thoughts?

Yes.  

If we're talking about them at the same points in their careers, yes and no.

Ability wise? Yeah. But for his first two seasons Newton had a bad habit of starting off games extremely hot but fading as the game went on.

I always attributed that to the adjustment to the pro game, but you could make an argument that our coaching staff's poor halftime adjustments played an equal role.

(kinda doubt anybody'd argue Jackson is benefiting from better coaching than Newton had)

As to Jackson, good as he may be, he still isn't fully what he's gonna be yet. Hard to judge what you don't yet know.

It is interesting that the Ravens are more willing to play to Lamar’s strengths than the Panthers ever were.  Seems to be the trend in the NFL now...the college style offenses.  A young Cam would have flourished in todays game.  Especially with the added protection for quarterbacks.  It is also interesting that they both have been dominant without a great supporting cast.  Mediocre receivers, decent running game and good defense behind them.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
