Darren Newsome asked him how does he stack up to the other WR's here? Basically asking him to poo talk his new teammates and Tmac said he wasn't going to answer the question.

yeah, that's a bad question.  Just ask him his strengths.

"Well, I'm about 1/3 of a second slower when chasing down racoons than XL, but I'm a little faster at skinning them."

If XL cures his drops, this pairing will feed families.

Also really want mic‘d up content of XL talking to TMac. Would be pure comedy.

I think Tmac has a higher floor, but XL has a higher ceiling

Great interview. I like the kid a lot.

Also I did not initially realize the game tape remarks were back when he was a freshman in high school. I assumed with all the angst surrounding that this was when he was at least in college. Of all the things to criticize him for this is getting ridiculous.

I believe it was freshman in college?  That would put him around 19 years old.

He couldn't have responded much better to the question, though.

Yes.  If everyone’s assessed career trajectory was based on a thoughtless statement he or she made when they were 17/18 most folks (self included) would be in real trouble. I am dubious of this pick but it is the pick and want to be fair. Judging his or anyone’s character or work ethic based on a comment coming out of high school is completely unfair. He had the correct answer btw.

I feel like iron sharpens iron.  No way he doesn't learn a bit from T-Mac.  T-Mac is a plucker, not a framer.  Heard that on an interview somewhere.  He is going to be under immense pressure to improve now, and it will also take the heat off of him.  He benefits from this move as much if not more than Bryce does.

Mic'd up is going to be fantastic.  We have a lot of different personalities and accents here.  Thielen was already translating.  People bond through laughter.  I can't wait.

You could be right maybe I misheard but still at 18 or 19 years old we can give him some grace. We've all needed to do a little growing in those years of early adulthood that's life. Just listening to his background and upbringing you can tell his Mom especially didn't raise a deadbeat by any means. We just have to give him a chance to prove himself.

Already speaking like a locker room leader to me.  He keeps referencing history and the Polynesian people.  If he is not all talk, I think we will see great things from him.  He already seems to know our coaching staff and has voiced his faith in them as well.  Seems like a great fit.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
