You must have not been around during draft time and pre draft in 2011. I remember it like it was yesterday, nearly EVERYONE and all the experts said that Cam was a HUGE risk and reach because he just ran a one read option at Auburn and it would take years for him to be NFL ready.

Mel Kiper and Mcshay were saying (no I’m not even joking) that we should draft Blaine Gabbert or Jake Locker over Cam because they were more pro ready day 1.

Stroud, Young and even Levis are way more NFL ready now then Cam was coming out of Auburn. 

No team listens to Kiper and Mcshay.  Locker and Gabbert weren't even taken in even the top 7.

2001 record: 1-15

Drafted: Julius Peppers HOFer

2003- Super Bowl Appearance

 

2010 record: 2-14

Drafted: Cam Newton franchise QB

2013: NFCS winners and playoff berth

2015: SB Appearance


Say what you will about this organization but not many teams out there with the exception of maybe the Chiefs can say they have reached the SB not once but twice just a few or couple short years after finishing dead last in the league. 

yay!

Ah yes…I remember it like it was yesterday. My first real draft following the panthers at 16 years old. 
 

I hated the Cam pick. He seemed like a dude with a big ego who would be too caught in the lights to develop but boy was I wrong and thank god! 
 

Hindsight maybe 20/20 but the way Cam single-handedly bulldozed the SEC made it so obvious. Young seems to be the closest sure thing. However, seeing Tua get hurt and how even a freak of nature like Cam was beating to the ground has me worried.

Please pay attention, that’s not where we are. We are trying to win more than five games and get back to mediocrity.

Teams that set their sights on mediocrity stay there.

2 to 3 years to go from bottom feeder to contender.

Mediocrity is never the destination for a champion.

It's funny because the Huddle, most of it, didn't want Cam. I wanted Cam, but guys on here were listing anyone except Cam.

You have to take a shot a QB in the draft and HOPE it pans out. I want CJ in the draft, but no feels certain about anything. Hope is all you have when a coach ruins your team.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      By TD alt · Posted

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By toldozer · Posted

      I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
