One of the great all-time poo takes. Watching Cam succeed had to have been super painful for you. You're probably a happier "Panthers fan" watching us suck than you were sulking while Cam won us games.

Dude I have a Cam jersey and was a massive Cam fan. I literally got in a fight at the Saints NFCS Championship game in 2013 because people behind me were yelling “Sir Cameron Newton: Leader of Men, Lover of Puppies...Esquire”. 
 

You cannot watch Josh Allen and tell me that Cam ever approached anything close to what you see from him on a consistent basis. Cam did it for one season and Allen has done it now for four. 
 

Cam was set in his ways. As much as I liked watching him, it was painfully obvious that he wasn’t improving and, if anything, continuously regressed following his peak in 2015. 
 

I can be a fan and also recognize a persons shortcomings. Cam was always at the top and didn’t have to put in the same amount of work as a lesser, physically talented person has to put it. He got comfortable and he fell. That mountain top is sharp and you either keep building or you teeter and fall. 
 

Sure, he was an alpha, but what did that lead to? One great year. Aside from that, he was average at best.

You know, it's actually possible to appreciate Josh Allen without shitting on our QB GOAT. I mean, it's not even difficult. I sure wish our organization had built Cam an OL and put receivers around him like the Bills smartly did with Allen so that we could've seen what prime Cam could've done with a good offensive unit around him and I wish that the Panthers had an OC that wouldn't just rely on Cam's elite physical tools to carry his offense but alas...

Cam was a poor man’s Josh Allen, and it wasn’t particularly close between them. He was a guy with all of the talent in the world that didn’t want to put in the work or take his coaching which is why he never had sustained success.

for all the "dawg" talk....Panthers have essentially no attitude on the entire roster. 

I mean, you can maybe make the Horn argument because of his play style but even Horn comes off as a pretty dang nice dude. 

The ending of the Ron/Cam era.....ended the dawgs  in Carolina.   Think Rhule couldn't handle a locker room if they existed.  And we have never added them back once that house cleaning occurred. 

Folks really got pissed when I said Tepper would only hire coaches that didn't intimidate him.

I still stand by my initial assessment.

And look where that has gotten us.

You would've thought Cam trashing his throwing shoulder derailing his career while he still retained elite athleticism and vastly improved his completion percentage while being unable to push the ball down the field anymore would've quieted some of the haters down, but nope. They already had their narrative and they're sticking to it 

Had he corrected his mechanics he would still be playing.

Not everybody.

After Wilks was given the thanks but no thanks treatment…. I knew. He was the perfect ‘Bridge’ coach to Rebuild an identity and culture…. And it was well on its way. Why burn that down? Why? Because Wilks had no solution for the Brady to Evans connection with the playoffs on the line? What a joke. 

Tepp knew he had no chance at manipulating Steve.

He was probably also the guy that said "give Pickles one more year and we will be Superb Owl winners"

Didn’t say any of that. I was all in on Cam, hence my picture on here. 
 

If one of you could detail one facet of the game that Cam was better at than Josh Allen, I’m all ears. Just one. 
 

I’ll wait.

    • I am no football savant as has been demonstrated here over and over, but I saw it.  I went for years doing the mock draft thing and researching the players that we might get around our pick, time consuming stuff. And we would get to the draft and trade the pick. All that time, wasted.  So I quit doing that. Also realized I was not a scout and would never be a scout and went to looking the videos and reports After  we picked a guy.  Maybe I would look at the 1st round, but quit that too and just looked after we picked.    When they did that trade I saw Bryce and his size and just ruled him out. Then it got to yeah they are probably going to take him, I relented and looked at some video and got to his pro day. It took me all of a few minutes to see the issues. The footwork. The arm. And the tape of games? The backyard style. I knew, what can I say?  (Also, went down the physical checklist, not a single plus attribute on the NFL level. Arm, speed, size, etc, nothing to offset the negatives. nothing)  I think it was easy for me because I had not watched a single game he played in college,and wasn’t drawn in by the hype. Had no preconceived notions and just looked at it pretty clinically.  I got in here and everyone was going “but look at what he did in college! It is the SEC, if he can do it in the SEC he can do it in the NFL!” Couldn’t reason with hardly anyone.  I don’t think I could tell you which guy would succeed between two prototypical guys with great arms and athleticism, and have no special insight into any of that. My one calling in football scouting was to see the real about what we were about to do. And you still don’t know for sure until they get in a real game in the NFL. 
    • Miss Bryce sorely is possibly the most hilarious statement I have read on the Huddle in quite some time.
    • He did only throw 1 pass 20+ in that game. I think he is still struggling to adjust to the NFL. At Alabama he was able to extend plays and play backyard football. That's not only not the style of offense we have been running but his physical skills don't lend themselves to that style of play at this level.  So, the amount of issues he actually has to clean up are WAAAAAY more than I anticipated as a guy that had Bryce #1 on my board in that draft class.  I am just not seeing a reasonable path for him to clean it all up and develop in a reasonable timeframe
