Cam does a great job on his podcast. The thing that stands out to me is he welcomes people of all races. He's not just interviewing people from the black community. He's even welcomed people who has bashed him in the past guys like Florio and Warren Sapp. Even the chick from ESPN who trashed him a few weeks back.

 

Cam is genuinely a good dude. Which is why I don't understand why there is people in this fanbase who genuinely hates him.

Cam gave his all when he was playing for Carolina...as well as Luke...total fluke we didn't win a bowl with them...You can always blame it on the coaches...

The league may never see a Dude quite like Cam. Agreed on the haters I defended him on many occasions to so called "Panther Fans".

I mean, he should be a first ballot HOFer.  I think Luke is technically the best football player Carolina has ever had.  Others played more entertaining positions.  Luke technically the best at his craft vs how good others were at theirs. 

Luke's career was definitely more consistent but peak Cam was otherwordly at times. Greatest football I've ever seen was him carrying defensive lines and that time he ran backwards like twenty yards, dodged every defender, and still picked up a big gain.

I think if you asked Cam, he would agree, but part of what made Cam who he was on Sundays was going up against the defense in practice. TD and JNo talking poo to him and Cam pushing back, even getting into the fight with JNo. Who on our defense now is pushing Bruce like that? Talking poo to him? Probably no one and I imagine Bryce wouldn’t handle it as well as Cam, but it would make Bryce better in the long run if he got that kind of competitive edge to him

I agree.  I never understood the Cam hate.  

I wanted Patrick Peterson in that draft and was so against him because of the back story of his Dad negotiating  paydays for him and the laptop thing and then his pre-season was abysmal.

But then he just came out in the regular season and played football like Magic Johnson played basketball.   Year's go by and I never heard of him doing anything to compromise the integrity of the team or bring shame to the organization.  HE DID EVERYTHING EXACTLY RIGHT.

Even if I wanted to hate him, I couldn't.   With  competent coaching he would be wearing 2 or three rings.

 

Also Luke was the best I ever saw in person to play the position.  But so was Cam. 

I didn't want him because I thought he ran a gimmick offense and I HATED that Allbarn team that year(should have had like 5 losses but they kept winning). I believe my quote was, "Drafting Cam Newton will be the biggest mistake in franchise history."

That crow turned out to be very delicious.

Cam and Luke. Superman and Captain America. Miss them and that team. Glad to see they’re still cool with each other. You could tell with that hug, they genuinely rock with each other. 

I think that was always the case. Remember the clip of Cam and Luke on the phone with Norman before they played the Redskins? You could tell there they had a genuine friendship.

I think Bryce would handle it actually. Old videos of him and CJ ribbing each other makes him seem like a guy who's used to it and knows how to roll with the punches. Problem is he's nice so everyone just wants to adopt him.

I agree completely, but that’s a testament to Luke imo. Maybe I’m just sour but I feel going to 3-4 did him no favors and possibility contributed to the length of his career or at the least the quality of the tail end. But he’s Luke, he’ll ball out regardless.

Don't blame that on Ron, just another Tepper blunder

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.

      it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
