No Cam gets hate because of his appearance. Guy wears crazy hats and clothes so people hate on him for that reason. Cam is a cocky guy so that rubs some people the wrong way.

 

Ok I stand corrected, it has nothing to do with his delivery. Thank you for letting me know.

I'm still trying to get a grasp on how scouting reports are saying Travis is undersized at 6'1" 212 when Caleb Williams is the same height and listed at 215, and we just went through this whole Bryce thing with the media generally not making a big deal out of it. 

Yeah Travis isn’t undersized. 6’2” was the sweet spot at one time but the average has definitely dropped since then. I’m all for taking Travis with one of our 5ths. At worst he would be a solid backup that can also hurt you with his legs. Potentially he could become a starter. His arm got better this year and he was definitely the leader of that team.

It still blows my mind that any Panthers fan would have any hate for Cam. He carried our franchise to relevancy for a while and almost always gave it his 110%. I could care less how the man dresses now.

Actually, he's a really good analyst. And I think that a lot of what gives his words weight is the terrible journey he had as an NFL QB and the wreckage after it. You either come through something like that either wiser or dead. 

The guy earned his right to say what could be wrong in the NFL for a player.

He went from a top of the world type situation to the kind of junkie you find sawing off catalytic converters for drug money, and then all the way back to a professional career in sports media.  He'll tell you himself that he had every physical trait and measurable you could ever want, but he was an arrogant asshole with a massive ego and that's what destroyed him.

Yeah biggest bust in NFL history and so on, and he might be wrong about Caleb Williams, but I don't think his opinion is worth dismissing out of hand.

Cam Newton came into the league looking like a clean cut GQ model ROY to MVP…..

hate was just as strong then as it was when he went into his signature fashion hair/looks.

Caleb Williams comes off as a prick who you just want to b*tch slap. Don’t get me started on his father. That family has not one ounce of humility and only cares about me, me, me, me, me. You really think vets in the NFL gonna follow a dude like that? 

The audacity of him to say he wants partial ownership in the franchise that drafts him is what really annoys me.   You are an unproven rookie with a big mouth.  He'll run himself right out of the city that drafts him.

Yeah, I respect it and I'm glad he's righted himself.

No doubt a lot of athletes with potential get derailed simply because they're too immature to deal with adulation and when it comes to the pros, the money and the pressure. In other fields where you're going to work into your senior years you can fug off as a youngster and still have time to get your poo together and overcome it. Not in athletics. That biological clock is ticking LOUDLY. You're still going to be relatively young in life when you're washed up as an athlete.

The Athletic did a breakdown of Mayes and Daniels and the conclusion was that it is not even close, Daniels is way behind Mayes. Daniels is a great runner, but not as developed as a passer as they had thought. They did a comparison to Lamar due to similar playing style in College, and said the same thing, he is significantly behind where Lamar was as a passer, despite being older. I can’t find the article again as it was a while back, but it was really interesting.

Not to mention he had Nabors and Thomas as receiver’s combining for nearly 3K yards. Both are forecasted as top 20 picks.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By RIPTreyLance · Posted

      Do you see the vision?  As of now our Carolina Panthers don’t have an identity. We are not an offensive powerhouse and on defense we only started getting it together towards the end of the year last year. In my opinion we are much closer to having an incredible defense that scares the daylights out of people. I say the answer is simple and we fully commit to that possible identity.    Emmanuel McNeil Warren (E man)  This guy is like a shark lurking around ready to attack anyone. Fearless. He is easily a top 20 talent in my eyes, and the only reason he isn’t more talked about is because he’s from Toledo. Do your due diligence as panther fans and watch his tape I beg you. Once you’re done watching let me ask you this, if you dropped E - Man into the strong safety spot on the Buckeyes, he isn’t being talked about as one of the best prospects we’ve seen in some time given the skill set you see with this guy? I think so. Put his name on the card and turn it in at 19.    Jacob Rodriguez  High effort, High energy, High IQ guy that flies around the field. We all know Jacob at this point. My only concern is he’s a little bit too good and I’m not sure he makes it to us at our pick in the second. With the additions of Jacob and E- Man I think our defense goes to top 5 in the league. We would have a duo of linebackers that rival anything we’ve had in our past. I’m not a GM so I don’t know what the possible answer could be, but if there’s a way we can comfortably trade up in the second to secure this guy I think we find a way to do it.    Spend the rest of our picks fixing the O - line.    Thoughts Panthers fans? Who’s the ideal duo for yall?

      OL is arguably much more important to the success of a young QB. (Or any QB)

      Didn’t get around to watching this one but looks like Pistons played their starters and actually tried…? Unlucky that they sit vs Magic, etc and try vs us. Hopefully we can beat the Heat and then Magic or 6ers with no Embiid. BUT if not, the NBA really should give us the lottery win this year like they did Mavs last year. Another high pick could be our final missing piece and have us as legit top contenders next year and going forward if we’re healthy. Or trade it for a Giannis type
