"In order for me to leave, they got to get rid of me." - Cam

I'm not disagreeing with you there lol. I'm just saying the comparisons were out there...

Mayock is the same douche bag who said Cam would be a bust. 
 

Carson can’t be compared to Cam Newton and it’s ridiculous the amount of disrespect Cam gets.  Cam had to do so much more with so much less over the years.  

on Carson,

Carson had MVP flashes his rookie year of being something special but not so much since then. He is pretty good.

Foles was a much better closer and fit for the system they run and it showed.

So freak injury aside they did back the wrong horse this year. At the same time the team doesn’t have the talent it did for the Super Bowl year, few can.

I wanted to hang onto TD for another season and let Shaq walk without even picking up his 5th year option. Now here we are paying Shaq like an elite LB. Oh wee mayne.

I don't hate Shaq. I think he's a good LB. But he's not elite. Hopefully he will become elite because that's what we're paying him to be.

I was looking at his cap number (which is really the only thing that matters to us), and I am not so sure we are paying him like an elite lb.  Assuming the numbers are updated, his cap hit for next year is only 7.2 million (which doesn't even put him in the top 20 lb's).  After that, it jumps, but by then the numbers of other lb's will go up so that he is unlikely to be among the top 15 in lb salaries.  Seems to me we are paying him above average, but not prohibitively so.

Mr. Scot stop posting??

Surely you jest.  He's posted over NINETY THOUSAND times!

It's what defines him.  It's what he gets up every day for.  No one has ever spent so much time defending his position, in the history of man.

Stop posting?  It is to laugh.

Spot on.

IMO, Cam is a totally transparent man.  I can't think of a single instance when something duplicitous came out of his mouth.  He's surely not an eloquent speaker, and throws out the occasional malapropism, but he talks from his heart.

So I take at face value his quote that headlines this thread -- that he wants to stay a Panther.

So many superstar, face-of-the-franchise athletes -- when faced with the impending end of their contracts (and many before that) say the opposite: "I want to go to a 'winner'," where I have a chance at a title.  No need to list them; you all know who they are. 

But here we have a guy who shows allegiance to his team and its city.  Be skeptics all you want, but I bet Tepper puts some value to that dedication, and to the many charitable acts and expenditures that Cam and his foundation have put out there to benefit the city, and its citizens.

Also just thought.. Carolina could bring a Vet as a backup just in case Cam goes down again too injury!! Tepper what’s to win!! So see what Grier does even though they are garbage games.. but NO game might be no joke.. they want home field for the playoffs.. tank city but hope Grier doesn’t die!!

Who do you believe will be hired?

That's a tough question, belief is a tricky thing. From the sample size we have of Tepper, I think he will be heavily involved in this search. From what he's said. I don't think he will hire a DC. If he does hire an "offensive minded" coach, I think he will have a set demographic. I'm thinking young, late 30's, early 40's. Proven track record and probably coming from a successful franchise to rule out the possibility of mediocrity.  Meaning that this coach will be here for a while, so he's going to look for younger guys. 

 

With that in mind, I believe he will go with men that have proven to use analytics (his current flavor of the month). I believe he will hire either of these men. McDaniels (43yo, solely because of where he comes from..), Stefanski (37 yo), Rhule(44 yo), Roman(47 Yo, on the older side but still a good choice), Sirianni (38 yo) Who's really under appreciated with his work, especially what he's done with the Colts offense this season, even tho their record kind of shows otherwise. Given the sudden retirement of Luck, Brissett has shined and has been one of the low key surprises of this season. 

 

Out of all these. It's a tough choice but I believe he will choose Stefanski if he leans towards the analytics side. 

 

 

If you ask me 'Who do you want?', i'd have to say Matt Rhule.

I tend to agree with the feeling that Cam means what he is saying, but at the same time people who are "somebody" have people that take care of them, and take care of things for them.

The "star" can be all nice and cool and well liked, be the good guy, no problem, while at the same time a manager is not being that guy.

I have definitely seen this as I have been around some of it in music, and am not saying that is what is happening here but that is the way things work a lot of times. Some of the nicest people have some real jerks working for them. So just because Cam is saying this stuff doesn't mean his rep will.

I definitely do not agree with Scot on some things, not at all, but he is not necessarily wrong here. He may be, he may not be.

Idk why people are piling on Scot here, what he says makes sense and we have multiple examples of it in recent NFL history and it makes sense that both sides are playing it safe with their words. Why would it make sense for Cam to risk going out there, have a season ending injury again, and risk being out of the NFL? It is logical to think he wants a new contract, regardless of what media talk is coming through.

because they're over emotional when scot isn't.   over emotional like i was with jake.  over emotional like when i believed in the team and loved every player to the ends of the earth and believed marty when he said addition by subtraction.  they'll just have to get their guts ripped out a few more times.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
