tank GIFKeep your eyes open and look at the evidence we have to this point and will come up! 1. Teppers comments from the day he fired rivera to now about this is a building process and it was not going to be an overnight fix and sustained sucess! 2. Matt rhule contract for 7 years! 3. All parties being not commital to cam when cam said he would be back in 2020!  I'm not advocating or encouraging this but this organization is making an organizational decision to tank in 2020!

For those who haven’t watched the video, need to go back and watch how coy he is and how tries to dodge the commitment to Cam.

When can you remember a team not committing publicly to there Quarterback? There’s nothing wrong with saying, we stand 100% behind Cam and can’t wait for him to get healthy again. Unless of course if you are planning on moving on from him.

The healthy part to me, seems to be that they can’t trade or attempt to trade him until he’s healthy. But this seems pretty clear they are prepared to move on from him.

This quote is a bit weird, he doesnt say Panthers but "people".    "If Cam's healthy, he's an elite player. So we all hope Cam's healthy. And people will use an elite player because there just aren’t that many elite players in the league."

 

so even 3 months ago he wasnt committing to cam.  Interesting

Yeah, I think the writings on the wall.  Wouldn’t be shocked if Cam is a Charger next season.  I’d hate it, but won’t shock me.

If I had to put odds on my chances of still being a Panthers fan in 2-3 years, I can't say they'd be higher than 50/50.

It may take another Julius Peppers moment to get me back in the fold of things blow up like it looks as if they may.

Why? Did you stop being a fan in 2010 and then jump back on in 2011 after Cam started off well? Our team is pretty bad right now. Did you really enjoy the 1-15 we went in the second halves of the last two years so much that now you’re thinking about jumping back off until we draft a great player?

  When will people realize that sports and, given its history with bloated contracts for underperforming players, Panthers football has to be about what can you do for us in the future, as opposed to what have you done for us in the past. You cannot pay for, and pin hopes on, what has been done in the past. You have to pay for, and pin hopes on, what is expected to be contributed by the individual player in the future. 

Cam is a phenomenal QB ... when healthy. Other than loyalty, which has wrecked the Panthers during Hurney I, there is no reason to make a definitive statement on Cam at this point. If he’s healthy, of course, he’s your QB. If he’s not healthy after six-plus months and multiple injuries over the past few years, you really have to question whether it is worth keeping him. 

There’s nothing controversial here. There are simply agendas by both sides of this fan base trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

    • 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.
