There is a silent majority that agrees wholeheartedly.

They have to let Cam be Cam no handcuffing and I think you'd possibly see the best Cam yet.

Cams body is handcuffing him his game was based on a cannon for an arm and being a physical freak. Both are 60% of what they were in his prime

Still better and more fun than watching Sam. A much much better leader than Sam, a QB first and foremost should be a leader.

He's still fast, still strong, still running over grown physical freak NFL CBs and LBs evidenced last season.

Still has 80%-90% of that arm. Run it back. Sam sucks bad. Real bad. Cam is a superstar even at 80-90%.

Sam is poo but Cams cooked and I’d rather remember him at his best than watch him play terribly here for another year

Cam hasn't been afforded an opportunity to show case his passing skills for some time now. You can't expect him to put up all pro numbers throwing to Damiere Byrd and N'keal Harry in NE in a covid year. He came into this dumpster fire with the leagues worst offensive line and coordinator in the NFL last year half way through the season.

 

These are the seasons people are judging Cam's current ability on. Think about it. It isn't rocket science to see he hasn't been in a legit environment to succeed as a QB.

At this point Cam should be a backup, and he might return in that capacity imo. 

The good news is that we've built what should be a good o-line, and we didn't do anything stupid like trading away future picks. Now if Sam poops the bed we can draft a top QB prospect in 2023. Everything in limning up nicely, and if Fitt can resist his disastrous impulses to trade away future picks to get back into this draft then we'll have hit a home run. Don't trade away anything and sit pat. Calm down. You don't have to impress everyone with how hard you work Fitt. Sit Fitt.

I am obviously in the minority here.  Cam WOULD be better than anything we could acquire right now.   

I think if he had a complete off season with this team.  Have a chance to work with the offense from day one.  Cam would show everyone that he isn't finished.

At minimum he is leaps and bounds better than PJ and should be given the opportunity to compete at the position. If he can beat out Darnold and PJ or whoever is on the roster he should be our QB1.

People have been saying this since he got hurt in 2018. We ran him into the ground, just accept it.

I love Cam and he has sentimental meaning to myself and my son but I have a feeling he won't be back. The nostalgic sentimental person in me wants to see Cam with a complete off-season and behind a better line myself but I have a feeling we have fun out course with Cam and IF he does come back it will be somewhere else to play. I also realize he doesn't quite have what he once did and injuries and time have taken some away from him. I think he still has some gas in the tank and the right situation with the right team could be a great move for him offering him a quality role as a backup but at this point I think it's somewhere else unfortunately. Great player, great role model and great human being who did a lot for the community of Charlotte. He changed culture around here and is a Panther icon. I miss a prime Cam every time the Panthers take the field. Whatever he does from here he will be successful because he has the personality and a good demeanor. I hope he heads back to television. My kid loved him on his Nickelodeon show. He was meant to be in front of the camera. All the best to my son's favorite Panther ever.

      How am I all over the place?  I'm still saying that. I'm saying that Chark at his best and T-Mac right now, on the same team right now for the 2025 season, T-Mac would be ahead of him on the depth chart Week 1. Because in the same way everyone is saying, "T-Mac hasn't played a snap in the NFL yet", the very same is true to say, "nothing Chark did in his past matters moving forward" His peak was a 1,008 yard season where he was the only decent WR on a terrible team.  He didn't put up the 1k yard season because he was a great WR, it was because of how bad the rest of them on the team were. His stats aren't the same as his ability, and his ability was never all that good to begin with. Hell, most of this board agrees that T-Mac is our #1 right now, even if Thielen is Bryce's #1 option early in the saeson just because of the comfort level there, he's still just a slot safety valve and T-Mac is our #1. If you put peak Chark on the roster RIGHT NOW (even without T-Mac)... is anyone even putting him over Thielen, XL, or Coker going into this season? I'm honestly not sure many of us would consider him as such, because even at his best, he was just a JAG.  So if the same people who are okay with T-Mac being ahead of those guys right now, wouldn't put Chark above them, how can you in the same breath say Chark was better than T-Mac already is now?

      Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).
