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.

I don’t think any of the QBs coming out in 2023 could hold Cam’s jock strap but I’d love to be wrong 

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.

Heck not even Cam was Cam coming out in 2011, it was doom and gloom the moment Luck went back to school.

We could be talking about the next Manning or something come April you just never know.

So many want to say we have a depleted team.  I don't agree.  We have several good pieces in place and Fitterer made it a point that we will not trade any of our good young talent.

We have to nail this first pick and our history shows we are pretty good at getting a good player in the first round.   

I think if do well with the 4 picks we have in the first 3 rounds we can compete in 2023 for a division title and the playoffs.

I was around. It was so easy to fall in love with the potential. Red flags? Absolutely.

But the dude was one of, if not the most physically gifted QB prospect of all time, and he dominated the SEC, carrying Auburn on his back. 
 

The main concern was “CaM iS a SeLfIsH tHuG” which always needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

      Who do you despise more… LaMelo Ball or Bryce Young

      By Lurk21 · Posted

      Names I'd keep an eye on... Coby White,  Jalen Suggs, Amen Thompson  and Stephen Castle...  3 teams except Orlando has checked on Melo before and rumblings of sours getting rid of fox too. I'd think they think Melo and Wemby would make them nuclear out west.

      Well he somehow had 12 preseason carries for not playing. He also has 20 carries in the regular season, not three. He has actually played in about 7% of the offensive snaps for this regular season(33% of the special teams snaps). This isn't stuff you have to make up, these are very easily referenced statistics, man.

      It's not common for a RB to recover from two ACL tears in the same knee. It's fairly rare. You are correct that it isn't the career ender that it used to be but there is also the fact that we appear to have largely moved on with the additions of Dowdle and Etienne.  Dobbins is a very good example. He has basically missed 54% of his career regular season games since he came into the league in 2020. It will end up being 57% at the conclusion of this season. It's a big contributing factor to why he is on this third NFL team in 6 years. It's certainly possible that may be 4 by the beginning of next season. I would say there is very little chance that Brooks ever contributes in any meaningful way in Carolina. Possibly with another team but I am extremely skeptical of his future here because of those injuries and because of the roster.
