Cam set the standard for cool. He was the pioneer of cool for these young guys who followed.  He endured the ridicule and judgment that these new guys do not have to experience. Now it's encouraged and celebrated.  Hypocrisy at its finest. 

Thus is ever the fare of those who come first.  Magellan was ridiculed because the world was flat.  Carl Benz for his automobile patent.  Etc.

Likewise the establishment is often only interested in seeing the status quo maintained.  At times, this is simply prudence.  At others, obstructionism.  It's the purview of everyone to think for themselves and establish which is which.

/soapbox off

Cam was a trailblazer who should have been protected and celebrated.  It sucks for Panthers nation that he was not.  But it has given us Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, etc.  I enjoy watching them play.  It simply came a little too late for Cam.

People who say that “Cam only had one good season” fail to realize that he carried the team every season. Whatever stats he got he fought for them, for the team. He had Greg but no o-line to protect him, and an OC and HC that expected him to stand in the pocket and wait for slow developing plays to make a play, or use his legs. 
And now seeing how all these chumps are celebrating every play/touchdown just reminds me that my QB started that.

I knew it as soon as I saw it. It was like a gut punch to me. That's when I knew the end was near on his career.  That was one time I wish he would just have stood there and let the guy score.

Me too. I saw him dive and land on that out stretched arm and knew it wasn’t good. Fug KB for that lazy poo route

All this, but really Cam did not help his career longevity by not learning to slide.  He took way too many hits and it would have ended prematurely even without the interception injury.  His concussion against Atlanta was a prime example of his showing up his competition prior to getting in the end zone and paying the price.  I still do not believe he had the makeup to be an all time great for a long period of time.  Accuracy issues combined with a poor attitude when games did not start well plagued him his entire career.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it.

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
