I think so many are enamered with his physcial ability plus other than what we see from games in college that we forget that it takes so much more to be a successful qb at the NFL level. I am neither a Cam lover or hater .I just hope we do our due diligence and make sure that whoever we pick can adjust to the speed,intellgence. and work ethic it will take to make the transition to the NFL.

I dont think we forget that it takes more than physical ability. I think there is a group who thinks he can learn that stuff, and there are folks who dont think he can learn all what it takes to be successful.

I am sure that the Panthers are doing their due diligence. They are the LAST people that wanna fug this thing up.

Gruden asked him what the play would be called at Auburn, and he answered "36". Just because Auburn has a simple system, it doesn't mean he has no understanding of something more complex.

Let's wait to see the full episode to see how he does on the whiteboard.

Man, he can sure fling the ball. Not sure I would want to catch one of those bullets.

I hope he is motivated by more than by the people who have been critical of him.That was not my favorite answer.

Yeah, I want to draft Cam, but i wasn't a fan of the answer. Sounded a lot like LeBron James.

I'd rather him be motivated intrinsically. Not worry about the haters, just wanting to be great.

omg...he doesn't know the NFL language before he's drafted...he's so stupid!

Who said he's stupid? It's a legitimate worry that he's been in such an incredibly simple system in one season of SEC play. He is an incredible talent and a beast no doubt but he has concerns that need to be taken into consideration. No one's screaming that he's stupid.

It's funny how none of the haters mentioned how dead on his passes were.

Again no one's hating, just addressing concerns buddy

You're an idiot.

I'm sorry but that's the one thing you got out of the video? Do you consciously ignore the legitimate questions people have about Cam or are you trolling? If so, bravo, you are a fantastic troll, if not, then you really are dumb as hell.

I am still on the fence about Cam. There is no doubt that he is a physical specimen and one charming mofo, the kid's smile lights up a room. He is a polarizing figure, there's no doubt about it. The fact that his playbook at auburn was simple is, well it's not an issue, but it's definitely significant. I'm not saying this video was a red flag, because it's not, but it does raise my eyebrow a bit. Can he grasp the playbook, and if so, how soon? This is not a question about his intelligence, this is a question about his ability to retain the information necessary to be a professional QB. Cam might be a pretty bright kid, but the learning curve between Auburn's offense and Chud's supposed 900 page playbook is significant to say the least. If the Panthers think he can do it, by all means take him, I'd rather we swing for the fences with a QB with Cam's potential than try and take a safer pick. I'm sick of the safe pick.

And people that are getting all butt-hurt over the Gun analogy are idiots too. "oh noes, he said the word gun, guns kill people, therefor Cam kills people, oh nooooooooooooes"... poo, I WANT my QB to consider himself a gun. That way people will think twice about fuging with him and he goes out every sunday with the mentality of "I'ma kill this other team".

so in a nutshell, I am concerned about how well Cam can grasp a complex offense at this moment, and I am thrilled that he wants to shoot people that think he won't be any good... or something like that.

people complain about how the haters motivate him but seem to embrace steve smith having a chip on his shoulder..can't have it both ways. you take the motivation any place you can get it in this league or you are not long for the NFL.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
