That sir would be called cherry picking - 4 out of 5 years huh?  So we just ignore 2011, 2012, 2018?  And what did he do in those Playoffs?  3-4, 7 INT, 5 FUM.  And remember who this thread is about....the 1st ballot HOFer who ACTUALLY carried this team from 2012-2017....not Cam.

I mean, Cam literally rewrote the NFL rookie record book from top to bottom in 2011.   That's not what you would circle as a year Cam wasn't getting things done. 

if I had to make a list of some of the worst officiated games in Panther history....2 of those are Cam playoff games.  I mean, if Cam Newton had been officiated like any other QB of his era was.....his record and success on paper would have most likely been very different. 

I mean, I don't think he makes the HOF because he was never treated normal in any way shape or form from the moment he emerged at Auburn.  Cam IMO is the clear cut #1 overall Panther of all time IMO if you take everything he did and meant into the equation. 

Luke should be a first ballot.  He won't be most likely.  But he is the best technical player in franchise history.   And Luke has the best case to get in to date now that Peppers is off the board.  Jumping 89 IMO.

Patrick Willis getting in pretty much guarantees Luke will get in. Not sure if he'll be 1st ballot but that'd be great. I'm not going to squabble if he doesn't get in till his 2nd year if some people penalize him for his short career. But it's obvious the committee values dominance over longevity which bodes well.

I love Cam Newton.  

There is no way he makes the Hall of Fame.  If you think he is deserving, you are entitled to your opinion.  But he is 100% not getting voted into the HOF.  

I have to agree with this. Cam is in about a 3 way tie as one of my all time favorite Panthers and my son grew up loving him so he holds a very special place in my heart. With that said unfortunately he won't get in the hall of fame. If he could have had a good run of the 2015 season multiple seasons I would have said yes he probably will. Unfortunately his physical play hurt that ability to do what he did in 2015 multiple years in a row. I doubt he ever gets in to the hall but I love him none the less and he will always be one of my favorite Panthers and actually when it comes down to it probably is mine.

      I did not, this reminds me of another live action type video game that never made it and has a huge cult following. Thanks for the 90s nostalgia frend!! My gods do I miss that era at USAs peak and it was my best on many aspects too.

      Many layers my frend- Panthers had a draft recently. They picked 4 defense players. Each player picked 11, 22, 33, 55 as their number. For some players that number match the round or pre-draft round rank, example- Prince was a 3rd rounder and choose 33. Nic was a 1st rounder on some mock drafts and Dan Morgan said they had him as a 1st, he picked 11. Cam Jackson recently switched his number to 55, same as draft and has been telling Dave he wants to be special over and over.  The 44 was to add GOAT feels, thoughts, and more intrigue to this rookie phenomenon. X files cause it was a great TV show and maybe it was playing when this theory came together.......   I hope this helps!

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      The best things Purdy has are certainly important tools for any QB. His accuracy his timing his decision making etc. I feel like he is a high end Teddy Bridgewater. You can compete and win in the regular season with this especially in a weakened NFC but where his limitations come into focus is when you are trying to contend for a Super Bowl you are going against elite and in some instances generational QB's like Mahomes. And when the time has come for him to go up against Mahomes he simply can't get it done. Now certainly he is not alone in that regard and people will point to another highly regarded QB such as Josh Allen who also cannot get by Mahomes. But the difference I see is Allen is not IMO at a phsyical disadvantage in that matchup whereas Purdy is. And that is with what had been to this point a comically stacked roster around Purdy and let's be clear we cannot understate that regardless of which side of the fence we land on in this debate. Purdy has had a top 5 roster and a top 5 coach. And the last time they went to the Super Bowl they leaned on McCaffrey extremely heavily. Now with what they are having to pay him and divert limited resources elsewhere they face a steep climb to get back to the Super Bowl let alone actually win it.
