Cam still doesnt get the respect he deserves. I was listening to Greeny earlier this week and he was talking about who paved the path for the new gen of QBs today. He said Kaep and Im like wtf? Cam did it better with lesser talent around him. 

Him and Golic used to always poo on Cam, especially before we went on that run from '13-Super Bowl 50.

He's generally pretty well regarded and respected now, but I think a lot of people (especially those who weren't Panthers fans at the time) have forgotten the endless streams of hit pieces, bad-faith criticism, and just generally garbage sports punditry that Cam endured.  If he took a piss in the urinal, the way he unzipped his pants was indicative of low character and poor leadership.  Nothing he ever did was right, and if he did do something indisputably good, the usual morons were either quiet or defaulted to the "well that's the least you expect of a number one overall pick, he's supposed to do that" line.  I won't even get started on the PFT commenter type people.

Every year it seemed like there was some quarterback coming out (Luck, RGIII, the aforementioned Kaepernick) whose knob they polished as the "cerebral", "high character" anti-Cam.  Interestingly, he was the last one standing out of all of them.

That's all I want these days. The last "fun" thing that happened to this franchise since Tepper took over was, unironically, Cam coming back for those few weeks. This franchise has been a depressing sh*t show for damn near a decade now. If we're going to watch a noddle arm QB next season anyway, I'd rather watch the GOAT Panther do it. At least you'll know that sh*t would be entertaining!

Cam is still the greatest short yardage and goalline threat in the history of the nfl, and still would be.

      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.
