My son just loved Cam "Newkun" Newton (he called him Newkun when he was 4), and he would actually watch games with me to see Cam give balls to kids in the stands.  He loved that.  Since Cam got released, he has shown considerably less interest in the Panthers.

Today, when my wife told him, he ran around the house in joy, dabbing and doing the Superman.  Who knows what the final tale will be this season, but he brings excitement and joy back to the team.  That's got to count for something!

Hope this works out well.

If not, I guess they'll call Jake and tell him to start warming up.

 

 

I hope so too, but let’s be honest, Cam has to play behind this O line. How many weeks you think he will last ? I’m not trying to be funny here.

I challenge anyone that thinks Cam is completely broken to watch his 2020 highlights. Yes, he throws bad balls occasionally not in those, he's not in MVP form, but he is a significant upgrade over what we've seen the last 5 weeks (edit: what we've seen all year tbh). He gives us a real chance to succeed... And it also puts Brady on a real fuging hot seat imo.

He had the worst supporting cast in the league. And he got them to 7-9. That was with a terrible defense missing legit starters from covid opt outs. Cam can still make poo happen.

Dude Steven A and Dan O are both saying he isn't the answer either

It depends what the question is. This isn't a QB heavy draft.

if the question is, is Cam a 5 year answer at QB... Probably not. But if the question is who is the best option for this team to compete this year with the possibility of building on that going into next year? Cam is the ONLY answer.  If Cam works out over the next few games he'll be a starter here for a few years again, lock down QB, and let us move towards finding a longer term QB at a pace that isn't desperation.

Panthers should post that.  

there have been some guys around here really good at that.  It’s not up anymore but the guy who did the Jake Delhomme tribute to to the Killers song is still my favorite. 

I think that may be the same guy.  We used to message back and forth because I have a background in media production, so we had that shared interest, I'm just too lazy and full of excuses to pursue my dreams with it.🤣🤣🤣

He is definitely a beast though!

Depends on if Cam and Joe can get on the same page...we can't ask Cam to pass for 25+ per game.  He will need to be a game manager with his arm, and use his legs to stay ahead of the chains.  If we can run the ball effectively, consistently...we can win games.

Ugly football, but you can win.

I'm not optimistic, but it's not out of the question.

That Pats team didn't have a lot of weapons but the OL was better than what we have here.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      By frankw · Posted

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
