Cam is probably the best Panther of all time. He’s easily in the top 3. But it’s time to let it go. We are drafting our new “Cam” this year. Can we just retire the “resign Cam” posts and comments now? 

Draft Cam and sign BPA?

I'm kind of surprised at the overjoyed reaction to this signing, but hey more power to you. I'm worried about finding a #1 WR, and the mother of all decisions coming up in the draft. 

You cant always find everything you want in one offseason.   He brings a reliable target who is a proven experienced player to an inexperienced position group.

With the players we have now?

Yeah when you factor in how poor our division is, absolutely I think that’s achievable. We nearly won this division last year with a combination of three starting QBs, all of which are worse than what we will have this season, a clown show coaching staff and we have improved our team significantly across the board. We have a better secondary already it’s the addition of Bell, a 3-4 which puts Burns in his best position, a healthy Horn. We have an improved RB running behind a great line, Hurst and Thielen and rumors of Chark potentially on his way. 
 

We will have a massively improved coaching staff, an improved offense, improved defense and the team that beat us for the division title last season is now in rebuild mode.

At this point the Falcons are our biggest competition on paper followed by the Saints. The Falcons are the only ones who seem to have improved without significantly from last season and I think there’s a very real chance we are ahead of them.

So yeah. I’m not saying we are SB contenders, but this division is not good. And we are on the best current trajectory. I think we take it down next season at this rate.

I'm gonna assume the extra years are some kinda team friendly thing to spread out the cap hit. If ODB is getting offered $4M a year it can't be too crazy. Teams went WR crazy the last couple years and seem to be going a little more conservative with the paydays. Draft picks are good enough to start day 1 now so the vets gotta adjust to that reality

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
