admittedly I haven't really been on twitter for like a day (which is like missing an entire decade of news cycle apparently) but a quick glance shows like there is some drama between Sheena and John Ellis. Wtf is going on lol

 

Also this is 100% not fuging suprising. Many of us last year blasted the franchise for how they handled Cam's release. The Panthers handled firing Rivera with class and respect. Cam got lied to, cut and released with a picture. That isn't how you release your franchise. 

I'm going to be so fuging mad all over again if that prevents us from getting Watson

I dont really know what Cam could tell him other than he loved it here and wanted to stay. Unfortunately the team gave up on him being able to stay healthy and he was forced to find a new team. 

Personally I would have rather seen if he could of been healthy on the last year of his deal or put our backup in if he got injured, but that did not happen.

Yeah I don’t think he’s coming here, i hope I’m wrong bc there is a lot that can happen between now and March.

Yeah, I think unless that price comes down to something more reasonable or Watson really, really, really wants to be here for some reason, I can't see it.

We actually make a lot less sense than a lot of the locations that have been speculated.

To be fair....

The way Cam was treated prior to his release isn't that far off from Houston. It's not apples to apples, but it's the same fruit basket, for sure. 

Depends on whether it was more Hurney pushing the narrative or if Rhule/Tepper were full of isht in their transparency to Cam on a personal level. If it's the latter, than Carolina might not be a landing spot for DW.

It's not the only factor, but the respect DW has for Cam is looming large.

There is no drama between me and Sheena. Some in her replies seem to believe otherwise.

We don't know what went down behind closed doors and never will but it strikes me that the signs were pointing to likely moving on from Cam before Rhule was even hired.  I don't know why Cam would harbor ill will towards him from public comments, which were as classically coach speak as is possible.  Cam knows this is a business and is an adult...

As to Tepper... No idea.  But unfortunately the Panthers feelings on Cam seemed to he held by the league as a whole.  It isn't surprising we moved on from Cam when moving on from Rivera too all things considered.

    • 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.
