People were saying the same thing about Cam. Back there were several huddlers who wanted to roll with Jimmy Clausen and draft Marcell Dareus first overall. You gotta take chances on QBs. Not every one is gonna be a prospect like Trevor Lawrence.

Not ones that can't throw the ball. Cam was/is one-of-a-kind. He's a freakshow athlete at the NFL level. Everyone already knew that going into the draft. The question was whether he could be a passable QB. Malik Willis is...not an elite athlete. He's good, but he doesn't have the kind of otherworldly athleticism that Cam had. He single-handedly dominated college football that year. Malik Willis is dropping games to ULM.

I would trade down in the draft. Try my best to get a 2nd round and take Spencer Rattler. I still like the kid more than any of these QBs in next year’s draft and think he has a ton of potential. He just need to be in the right system.

What would it take to get Mimshew to Carolina ?  Jake was not a top QB but he had grit and a will to win .  I just don't see that in Darnald .  Mimshew is not a bad QB and at least could beat PJ as the backup and maybe replace Darnald .

Please shut up with the Minshew talks. What the heck is wrong with Panthers fans’ obsession with trash quarterbacks?

People have forgotten. That Auburn team was either barely ranked or just outside of the top 25 in the preseason that year. They weren't a great team. Cam Superman'd that team to a national championship.

Cam and Joe burrow were must see games when they were in college.  Thats about the only 2 qb's I can say that about and I watch a lot of college football.  Both of those dudes were like some marvel character playing football

I'd put Manziel there too. Johnny Football was pure entertainment.

If it’s not the best college season ever, it’s easily the most valuable to a team. 6 players on that team got drafted. Fairley, who was a monster a DT that year, two 7th rounders(Ziemba, Zach Clayton) a 4th round OG(Mosley) and two FR backup DEs in Dee Ford(1st in 2014) and Corey Lemonier(3rd in 2012). Compare that to other BCS winners and it’s shocking. 
 

  2nd in NCAA in passing and SECs leading rusher. Against a schedule that was as tough as any team has had.

Yep. Burrow's final season was unreal, but to be fair, so was the talent surrounding him. That wasn't the case with Cam.

  I can give Burrow best(most productive) season with no issue. But Cam carried a team, plus had to deal with a witch hunt from the media.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
