Cam isn’t being erased.

The players you see around are always in Charlotte. Cam has other things going on that interfere with schedules and what not.

Fat Matt is the one who took down all the players on the wall in the locker room.

He says "we'll never know" meaning he didn't even get invited to Germany

You really weren't right about the reasons why his career was shortened though  It wasn't from the running and it wasn't from being unable to effectively run anymore from the wear and tear like happens to RB. It was a fluke injury to his throwing shoulder because of an INT caused by his #1 WR quitting on a route. Then what was left of his shoulder got destroyed by a hit suffered from passing as a pocket QB behind a shoddy OL.

If anything, it proved the "Cam is going to have a short career because his running will cause him to age like a RB" wrong. Cam's career wasn't shortened because his running ability declined. It was shortened because he lost his ability to effectively throw the ball. His running was secondary to his passing all along and it took losing his throwing ability to demonstrate that. Cam very well could've adapted to not being able to run as well as he aged. He proved to be a much more efficient passer (68% completion rate) in Norv's offense than mose thought he could be. But he couldn't adapt to no longer being able to throw the ball effectively down the field.

This is exactly what needs to be said everytime somebody tries to say that crap about him running too much and basically being an oversized RB. I flipped on one of my friend's brother because he said this at a Christmas party a couple years back. I was like you just live in Charlotte and have no clue what you're talking about. If he had just turned and walked to the sideline like Peyton, Brady, Brees, or Big Ben has always did, he would've been fine. But he also didn't even get a real chance outside of New England to see if he still has it, but a bum like Chad Pennington did.

Literally had an event here weeks ago. Always says Charlotte is his 2nd home on his podcast.

I would really like to know why they act like he doesn’t exist. I mean, when they cut him, they didn’t really say much except “we cut cam” and then a little bit later made some bs goodbye video. Clearly something happened bc he deserved a better goodbye than that. I always thought it was Rhule, looks like it’s Tepper

Man can you imagine how fun it'd be to have Cam, especially with his personality, take part in events or just be around the team and fanbase again. That'd be the only thing I'd look forward to when it comes to this team these days. Cam is the fuging goat and panthers royalty. He deserves to be celebrated, he gave the city everything he had. Sometimes I can't even with this team man, it's so poorly run in all aspects.

      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.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      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.
