Ridding this team of Cam would be a big enough gaff that I'd stop supporting the NFL entirely, first of all.

And second of all .. Cam is going to be a Panther for years to come. When he retires, he will have set the bar here so high, that any future Panthers QB will have no chance to be more of a superstar than Cam was.

What we're watching is the best Panther that will ever suit up for us, in Cam. Recognize.

It's amazing that you can see into the future and evaluate Cam against all the players that will ever play for the team. Does this apply to other things as well or just football? What will the DOW be at next new years? Who will win the next five super bowls? Oscars? Presidential elections?  Is solar power a good long term investment for my home or should I wait til the technology for it improves further?

Who's the second best player that will ever play for the Panthers? Will he play for us in the next ten years or a hundred years down the road?

I'm just curious.

"..All I see are black people on television making millions to play a sport. All kids do is listen to black hip-hop artists and wear black athletes jerseys. Racism doesn't exist. Look around. Blacks make millions in sports and entertainment.."

The success of a small portion of black people is so amplified, people can't see that the same families living in inner-city poverty in the 1970's are the same families living in poverty today.

Poverty is a cycle, and the only way to break the cycle is to be a famous rapper or professional athlete? What are the chances of that happening?

If the only thing that can break the cycle of poverty is being a famous rapper, or a pro athlete, most people aren't getting out of poverty.

Warnings all around but nothing for threats @LinvilleGorge?

We need to stop going to Mods and pointing like .. see, see what he said .. on both sides, that needs to stop. Lets all be adults. Nobody should be offended by anything somebody on a message board says to you. Everything should be allowed to be said with no repercussion.

That is not the only way to break the cycle of poverty.  

I grew up in a rural area, single mother of 2, lived in a single wide trailer.  If we didn't grow it in the garden, or raise the animals we didn't eat it.  What I did was stay out of trouble other than a couple speeding tickets, graduated from high school and joined the Air Force.  I spent 22 and half years serving this great country and retired at 42.  I have 1 child who will be receiving her masters in special needs early education this summer, 1 who is transferring to UNCC next fall perusing his degree in computer engineering,  both mostly paid for by me.  I may not be rich, but I live in a 2500 sq foot home in a nice neighborhood  and can give my youngest high school aged daughter pretty much everything she needs and many of her wants.

I believe I broke the cycle for my family because I worked hard and did everything I could to make sure my children are better off than I was.

It takes hard work and a desire to break the cycle.  You don't even have to get a 4 year degree.  Just look at what auto mechanics,  electricians,  and plumbers earn after a few years.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
