Hmm Panthers injured players all in red #1 jerseys

Because he’s been QB here for like a decade and not many others, so we have like 10 years of number 1 red jerseys sitting in the supply room. Yeah there’s gonna be a lot. Did you think Cam wore the same one every day for 10 years?

Hate to think its Cam shade. That would be pretty childish in my opinion. We're the ones that cut him and signed a lesser player to replace him.

A “lesser” player? That’s pretty demeaning to Bridgewater, and I’m not sure it’s really truthful. In the business of football it seems that players tend to peak and decline. Cam in the eyes of the team had declined so that he was unreliable, they replaced him with someone they felt was more reliable or has a higher chance of success under the new system. 
 

That makes Cam the lesser player of you want to rank people. Cam right now is fortunate that another team is taking a chance with him, but his future as a starter is really up in the air. Who’s the lesser player again?

    • Comparing a random stat to another rookie QB has nothing to do with the current subject.  Tom Brady had a 6.0 YPA his rookie year.  I hope you're not using one stat to define success of a QB? It's not a problem to want him to do better based on where he was drafted although I still contend it doesn't matter after the fact.  It doesn't matter if we're talking about Cam Newton, Tom Brady, Russel Wilson or any other QB.  It makes little difference once you're in the NFL.  Nobody gets a ring for where they were drafted.   Higher draft picks will get a little more time in most cases as teams want to make sure they've exhausted all avenues before they admit a draft pick can't play.  Other teams might pick them up thinking it wasn't the player but the organization and/or other coaches that caused the player not to succeed.  It's people's expectations that are wrong.  If we could go back and redo all the draft and put guys in the correct draft spot based on how well they played in the NFL, that would be nice.  Then your argument would make some sense.  People assume that where a player was drafted is a statement on how good that player is when the reality is there is a lot more luck than skill in drafting. If Coker turns into a pro bowl receiver and XL becomes a bust nobody cares except fans and the media. What we really should say is it's not too much to expect a player who has started at QB for a team over the last 2 years to be better than he currently shows.   Don't compare 1st round picks.  Compare starting QB's in the NFL.
    • They’re gonna have to go up against a real offense before any kind of judgement can be made of them.  Tlaw looks like damaged goods, Kyler is completely washed, and Penix….well…. they look better compared to last season but that’s what you’d expect with a healthy brown and horn.  I haven’t seen anything that indicates they’ll be considered an overall good defense when the dust has settled. 2002 it is not.
