Cam's successor...

He's at Wake Forest now...but seriously how long will it take??? We lucked up with Cam at number 1, do you think it will take another number 1 pick again or is the answer now on the roster/ this draft?

This is the draft to determine our next couple years even if we don't draft a QB. Who is to say the guy at 8 isn't a bust regardless of position. 

Are we curse because the way things ended with Cam?

Watson was there for the taken, high price but now I don't know what's going on there. Too much...

We're entering one of the best QB class a draft has every seen and yet we were always hoping for the 4th best ok maybe 3rd to fall to us.

Based on these last few days, I'm left to look up pee wee QBs...

P.s. On the bright side Z.Wilson could've been the pick and we would've been in QB purgatory for God knows how long.

In retrospect Carolina should have done it the right way two years ago and let things occur naturally when we started 0-2 with #1. We had a shot at his successor then and last year but we were concerned with team culture yet we proceeded to overpay at two luxury positions in what were ultimately very 2010 Richardsonesque moves despite what homers will tell you. We are where we are now because the Panthers just couldn't get out of their own way the same as past years. New owner same song and dance. We could get lucky and strike gold again like we did in 2011 but many fans lack the willingness to be that bold. That mentality is why someone like Bridgewater could even talked up as a franchise quarterback in the first place. It was always a tall order but he wasn't Cam Newton so for some that was enough. Now look at us. We tried to tell you.

I'm glad someone understands this thread...

Sam Darnold = David Carr.

We have to find a QB, our own guy not someone's leftover. By the end of next year I can see the same thing happening again, top 8-12 pick, hoping to land a QB. There's a pattern I see developing, trying to win with rejects, castoffs, so much is put on Rhule's development, well Teddy didn't work out, if Sam doesn't, what then...New England didn't bash Cam, and I believe he looked worse than Teddy, but our new staff devalue our own assets. Who would want to come to Carolina knowing there's no real direction and a few bad games gets you called out by the OWNER, not just the coaches but the OWNER who had to ok you coming here in the first place. Before we drafted Cam, Andrew Luck was the pick, but he wanted nothing to do with us, so yeah we lucked up BIG time with Cam.

Cam open the market up for Carolina, each year passing that door is getting slimmer. Star players will want to go somewhere else(ex. Samuel) if not for the money but to actually compete for a Lombardi.

Jake to Cam years were awful. 

Vincent Frank Testaverde Sr....need I say more

You know, I don't recall ever starting a new thread on this forum.  I feel like I pretty much engage in intelligent conversation with most of you, and while some may disagree with me, I think I at least put thought into the things I say.

All that being said, I have to ask, why in God's name can just anyone start a thread about anything?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
