...are fed up of this board?

The general stupidity of the majority of posters is through the roof, with even the usually fairly reasonable ones lowering themselves to counter the idiots.

There isn't one insightful or well thought out thread (including this one) out there and the ones that have promise are quickly replaced.

I did a count earlier and there were 8 threads on the first page about Cam Newton. Ridiculous.

Half the board has been declared as haters or racists, simply because they don't like Cam Newton. The media is racist because they 'hate' Newton, despite claiming he is a one of a kind specimen.

I was drawing up some threads on our hidden gems and unsung heroes from this season, but since all this crap started I really don't see the point. Anything worthwhile posting will be forgotten and buried inside 20 minutes as a 50 page personal feud plays itself out.

Everyone just needs to step away from Cam fricken Newton, on both sides. Let the process play itself out and start talking about other things. At the moment it's just two sides trying to prove who is the bigger idiot.

Oh, by the way. If you are this emotionally invested in one player, positively or negatively, you have lost sight of this process. We have no control over the player who is picked, however getting this worked up about it is only going to cause some people to be very disappointed in our FO with their first major decision.

Let's just talk about something different mmmmkay?

In all honesty this board has gone to trash lately.

I've contributed to the mindless debates but will not any longer. I used to love coming here and now don't really like it that much.

Hope we return to form soon

Bingo.

There are some long time posters here, that have suddenly started directing some genuine hate and aggression at each other over a 21 year old guy, who may or may not be our first ever #1 pick.

It's no surprise that the board is dominated by a load of guys who I have not seen before, whereas the regulars have done the sensible thing and stayed well away.

well lets see, since the draft is the only thing a team can do right now in this lockout offseason. What is it you suggest we talk about?

How about one of the other hundreds of potential recruits out there?

How about looking for slivers of hope from some of our emerging players from last year?

How about talking about positions for later rounds?

How about focusing on what is going to happen to our 'depth' at positions such as LB if the RFAs are made FAs because of the CBA?

The nuances of Rivera's defences and how they fit us or the offensive system of Chud?

That Richardson is apparently cheap, yet isn't auctioning the #1 pick to the lowest bidder like the Dolphins did?

Or how about rather than just declaring either side are haters or supporters, actually reason with each other. Both make valid points, yet both refuse to see the others point of view.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
