Coming on just to say this---8 pages so far?  Cam is 34.  Good luck to him, but Cam is not a backup in this league because he lacks the ability to be a backup---his personality is so strong, he would be a distraction even if that is not his intent.  If people who need a QB are not bidding on Lamar Jackson, I doubt Cam gets any attention. Maybe he is doing this for a midseason injury.

I will admit, I love the diehard fandom homers give toward Cam. Respect. You will die on your rock.

Meanwhile, like any diva WR in recent history who makes a scene on social media or in public, other NFL fans want to steer clear. Teams too. Cam is no different IMHO.

But yeah, you guys keep backing your boy no matter what. Props.

not a real fan if cam isn't your boy, imo.

Clearly not willing to take a back up roll and accept reality at this point in his career.  Love the good years he gave us, but he never was able to transition to being a pocket passer due to injury and accuracy issues.  The history of the league is littered with guys who were great in college and their early years, but never made the next step when their feet slowed down with age.  I don't know even if not injuring his shoulder if Cam would have ever been able to stand back and sling it with consistent accuracy.  He would abandon his footwork far too often.  Hard to coach those instincts out when they have been part of a players make up and gave them success based off of elite athleticism for all of their early playing days and careers.  He was the best athlete on the field most of his life.

It's not baffling if you know why they hate Cam.

Amazing to me that the people who don't laud compliments on Cam and totally agree with the the folks that believe he was the greatest are called haters and implications immediately made of why they don't feel that way.  If you think he was the greatest more power to you.  Everyone is entitled to an opinion without it being something else.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
