Cam at 20% of his old self is still 200x better than PJ and Matt Barkley. It's frustrating because Tepper expects fans to keep investing time and money into the team this season when it's clear they're not giving us the best chance to succeed on the field, mainly due to ego. At this point I'm surprised Rhule couldn't find an old Temple or Baylor QB to poach from somewhere.

I dont think he cares which fans invest in it. We have the WFT, Falcons, and Bucs for our remaining home games. All of them have pretty big fanbases so the games will sell out and be 70% opposing fans.

here's something to ponder....how many QBs did they have to ask before Barkley said yes?

I saw Tony Pike last night at Target and told me he just laughted when he saw the caller ID and didn't pick up.

On point, @rayzor!!!

A couple early signs point to Carolina being an unfavorable destination for QBs..

 

if you want to be left alone and collect a check it might be nice.  Apparently Matt Rhule had his first real conversation with Sam Darnold just the other week.

Cam threads and commentary will stop once the Panthers 1.) start winning, 2.) have a player that makes an impact that was greater than his. 
 

It’s really that simple. You’re a smart guy, you should know this. You crying about Cam threads is just as redundant as the Cam threads being created. You don’t like them, don’t click and enter them. We know you can’t do that, though. 

You're right. And you lot can't stop replying to me doing it. Like I said ... guess we all wait until he retires.

Exactly why Im glad we passed on Fields

The actual issue was Urban Meyer QBs.   Those are the ones that set a trend.  Consistent trend of those in his offense not working out.  From FL to Ohio St. 

but Fields didn't play for Urban and in his offense.   That's why the narrative was irrelevant.

I disagree. Me personally, I really don't like QBs from big schools like Alabama, OSU, USC just to name of a few because they have talent at the skill positions. I was on board with us drafting Cam Newton because I saw what he did with Auburn and that 2nd half come back against Alabama.

Fields could be that guy and I could be wrong but I wasn't up in arms and pissed when we didn't take Fields. I know people wanted Fields but I'm in the minority. I didn't want him.

well, that technically is a different argument IMO than what is suggested by just saying Ohio St QBs.  Given the specific narrative around the guys that played there of late. 

I don't disagree with what you are saying entirely.   Bama is a great example.   The talent disparity between Bama and even other top programs is often big.   

I was down w/ Fields largely because he had Brent Venebles beat twice on the big stage despite only getting one win.    There really are only a handful of games that mean much with the mega programs.

Wonder if that is some college poo...like does Rhule have this mentality like "i don't have to talk to these kids they do what I say and I hold their future in my hands" - oh wait these are professional men.

Hmm

Could be. Will take some time to verify but when you watch his offense in college the WRs were often just wide the fug open and even the 'good QBs' he had in college didn't throw it the best even to those wide open WRs a lot of the time. And OFC among the best recruits.

Looks like the OU QBs atm are doing pretty well of late and they were known for producing bust QBs.

I can get behind this reasoning for wanting Fields. 

I know plenty of people are upset that we got Darnold instead. I'm happy that the organization tried to get Stafford. I'm happy that the organization got rid of Teddy. I'm happy that the organization wanted to get Watson. Even though it appears that Darnold was the wrong choice for QB, I'm at least glad that the organization tried to address the problem. They are not twiddling their thumbs. I'm disappointed that they picked up his 5th Year option before he even played a snap. I wouldn't have done that but oh well.

I bet in the off-season they will try to fix the offensive line and I bet they will get a QB too.

Oh. I'm done with Joe Brady.

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
