Cam on Dan LeBatard

We really did man. Protecting him with the likes of Byron Bell and Nate Chandler 🤢, drafting him slow ass receivers, pairing him with dumbass Shula, etc. We wasted such a generational talent. In a way, it's kind of poetic that we missed on Stroud, because we would have just ruined him like we did Cam.

What’s poetic is you had a few loud fans that didn’t like Cam, or his personality, only to end up with a boring “supposed” super processor, that is looking like will be a dud. Tepper wanted what they wanted in a QB; a guy that would blend in and cause no controversy at all. I still remember some of those same fans threw a fit when Stroud named his QB influences. I got fooled by Bryce too, after rooting hard for Stroud to start, so I’m not much better I guess lol.

The absolute cognitive dissonance the sports media has with Cam infuriates me to no end. Absolutely embarassing to even mention Kaep when Cam Newton's on the field success has shown so much more than he ever had.

The same sports media that claims Cam Newton isn't a pocket passer - despite a large majority of his snaps being in the pocket! - and then saying bullpoo like this.

Cam created a new paradigm on defense that accounted for running QBs, and was an absolute beast in every way. 

Shame on the media for bringing down one of the most polarizing and talented QBs of this generation.

 

I always thought Kap would have gone deep to the playoffs more often, I’m surprised he seemed to get figured out. Or maybe it was injuries. I know he got blacklisted too but I kept thinking he was going to win one pretty quickly

Kaep was just that bad. He was easy to figure out. He was bad at the throwing the football part.  Harbaugh was just a wizard.

Hell no we ruined Cam.

 

Dream scenario he ends up in Atlanta as a backup. Starting QB goes down at the end of the season and Cam comes in and lead them to a SB run. He retires with his SB in his hometown.

 

I'm here for it!

That would make us the only team in the NFC South without a ring. Hell no.

That first game Cam returned is one of the few highlights of the past several years. At least for that week or so, he legitimately galvanized a beleaguered team. That Cardinals team had one of the best records in the league at the time if I recall correctly. Took these few shots as it was it was pretty wild seeing a guy who had joined the team a few days calling rallies mid game. 861DD6CE-3EF9-4328-AE06-119EA31E7685.thumb.jpeg.7de02c5b17e1a1e1a72224cca34897ab.jpeg

My kids first football hero growing up. It was so easy for a kid to love Cam because Cam was so kid friendly from giving footballs to them after touchdowns to hosting his Nickelodeon show. I developed a love for him like a family member. What he meant to my son made him mean the world to me. I miss prime healthy big bad ass strong trucking over defensive guys Cam so very much. Big tough nice guy with a cannon arm that could run like hell and refused to go down easy then would laugh, joke and high five children. He was the hero Charlotte needed but didn't deserve

Fans appreciated and still love Cam. It’s the coaches and front office who didn’t by not building around him starting with offensive line and  better weapons. The fact he carried his team to SB with Ted Ginn as his #1 WR will always be the most underrated QB performance in history.

Yep. This is why I say F**k Rivera. Terrible coach.

I remember when it was on the news that his house caught on fire (no injuries). I looked at my wife and said, "If I were investigating the cause of this fire, I'd start with the diehard Panther fans."

    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
    • They might be ass but it’s the professional level like NFL!! I will take a win no matter what!! Still not over
    • So you are just going by what these analysts are saying. So if come draft time they say Ward/Sanders is worth pick 1 you should be good. The future draft QB class is always going to be projected as the next great thing until these young players start playing the game and scouts can see some flaws. Think of all of the high school phenoms that didn’t look as good in college.  If Manning does turn out to be the next great prospect only one team gets to draft him. Odds are someone else could get the top pick, especially if go all in on building a supporting roster. I’m never going to be a just wait another year guy, because there are so many variables. If our staff loves Ward/Sanders then we should just draft them with our pick. It’s as simple as that. I also might go with Hunter over TMac as WR1 in this class.  The roster has the OL to help a young QB, young weapons in Coker, XL, and JT to grow with a QB, and a RB who can catch in Brooks as a safety net for a young QB. Sign a vet WR, extend BC and our offense would be set outside of depth. Let our young offensive core go through their growing pains while we iron out the defense. It’s definitely a path forward.
