I love Cam but damn people act like he is the only person that will EVER play quarterback for the Carolina Panthers.

It’s not that. It’s just so hard to find a game changing qb. The league has changed. You absolutely need an elite qb to win the super bowl. It is very possible we get stuck in qb purgatory for a decade.

I read some stat, can remember where, but it listed every super bowl winning coach and team.  Outside the Pats, most teams win a super bowl when a new coach comes within 5 years.  If they don't win a super bowl within 5 years of a new coach, chances are they won't.  Again, this excluded the Pats.  I say the no, the true panther way, they get close but come up short again.

I see your point, but I would not call Nick Foles an elite QB. For a few seasons, he was exactly what the Eagles needed to fit with the other pieces they had. We should be able to find a Nick Foles, or maybe we get lucky and get a Mahommes (was the 10th pick). You just never know.

Nick Foles was absolutely elite in the playoffs and the few games before. that is really an anomaly for a backup to come in and do that but he did.

Hmmmmm.   I will give that some thought.  The only SB that I can think of, won by non elite quarterback,  was Nick Foles.  Eagles backup quarterback win.

Btw, that win tells me that you need to have the right quarterback in the right circumstances.   Look what happened to Jacksonville this season.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
