I have always and will always love Cam the football player. That being said Cam has never been the most PC person behind the microphone. I truly don't think he means any harm behind it he's just one of these guys that kind talks. We all know people like that in our life.

Charles Johnson (quoted because this shitty website is broken and wont let me embed)

 

without having any inside info I am sure this about how Cam handled losses his rookie year. 

I'm still waiting on Charles Johnson to spill the tea on Matt Rhule like he promised

Here's how I view it. Cam made a comment that was insensitive (this is pretty norm for him) but I don't think he meant it like "Oh all the Panthers are trash" he was just saying that by virtue of being the number one pick you are going to a stastically bad team

Steve took it personally because well....it's steve for god's sakes

Cam should just apologize and Steve and him can make up

I think this is what happened.  Cam should just explain himself better.  To me I think he meant that's the mindset when you are drafted #1 and all that.

This is how I interpreted it as well.


Cam speaks from the hip. Sometimes it lands, and sometimes it doesn't.

I hope he doesn’t do that with cam, it just seems so petty. Cam didn’t call him out personally and let everyone know some poo that happened in the locker or some embarrassing stuff behind the scenes. Cam put his foot in his mouth (although I don’t think he meant any ill will) lets hope he makes it right and everyone moves on.

How anyone understands anything Cam says is amazing to me. I struggle to understand what he's trying to say most of the time. I butcher the English language with the best but Cam is on another level. I love the guy and have accepted that that's who he is but an orater he is not.

It really wasn’t trash.   It just had a trash QB….and trash QB play is crazy impactful 

Roster was full of pro bowlers and Panthers greats in reality.  Gross, Wharton, Kalil, Double Trouble, 89, Big Money, Gamble, etc.   Basically the future Ring of Honor.    Then they added some solid guys for his first year in 

Like Legadu Nane and Haruki Nakamura?

he always was self-centered.  Great athlete, but he was about some Cam.  Maybe that was his way of being great--but think how he must have been treated his entire life--so he was a product of us.

He is also very kind to his fans--saw him signing autographs for people after OTAs--he missed my son, holding a Cam jersey, and saw it when he looked back--he froze and looked sad, then smiled and ran back to him and signed it.  I saw him "showing off" at practice when nobody was in the stands--high energy, fun, contagious.

Finally, I would say his teammates may not feel about the organization like Cam does.  I think the Panthers should have protected him better, offensive line, had him run less, slide more, and never let him run that QB draw.  But RR was worried about his job, and Cam is a gamer--Cam took a beating like no other QB before him--and he did it for the team.  So his bitterness may be misguided here.  Rivera and Hurney need to take some responsibility for the shortening of Cam's career and the feeling that he might have had the team on his back.  The OL was usually bad and there were not the best weapons after 89.  I understand it--he is not handling it well, but I see his source of irritation.

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
