Sal Paolantonio on Mike & Mike this morning brought up an interesting point, he knows Ron Rivera well and says Cam couldn't get away being a phony with him, Rivera would sniff that out from 5 miles away. Also said you couldn't get away being a phony with JR and JR was very impressed with him.

Rivera I believe... Not buying it for JR based in his track record in past drafts... He drafted Rae Carruth! Also drafted Jimmy Clausen... And for those of u who are thinking of bashing this post because "he doesn't draft players"... He owns the team. Anything that happens in his organization is a direct reflection upon himself.

With that said, he has a huge opportunity to draft Cam... I believe that you can't fool Rivera, it's hard to trick a Hispanic male, let alone we already know ge has a no BS policy..

This just makes us warmer and fuzzier on Cam. I like it!

I am the firm believer you can't change the true character of a person, go read the story of the Scorpion and the Turtle. Cam was a thief and a cheat and even Mayock has issues believing this kid will try to be elite.

I don't like him, I don't like his lack of football intellegence, I don't like the system he was in, I don't like he couldn't beat out The Golden Calf of Bristol (and no he couldn't because he wasn't good enough. Myer would have put the best QB on the field). I don't like the fact he ran from Florida before getting booted etc.

He could be black, white, orange or purple with pink polkadots so that is a non issue. I don't want the kid as the face of this franchise and I feel a few years from now we will be right back where we are now with no Franchise QB.

Ridiculous statement. So JR was suppose to somehow know Carruth

was going to be murderer. Really? Also Jimmy Clausen isn't a good player, no one has ever accused him of being a con artist. Don't see what he has to do with the topic

People can change, I did stuff when I was 20 that I wouldn't dream of doing now. Have you ever stole something or cheating on something? I know I have, and overall I consider myself a pretty good person with flaws just like any human being (who is willing to admit it).

We'll never know if Cam would have beaten out The Golden Calf of Bristol given enough time, but I think it's unreasonable to condemn a freshman QB for not beating out the incumbent starter. Heck, Tom Brady couldn't beat out Brian Griese for the starting job at Michigan and that worked out pretty okay for the Pats, right?

Scorpions and turtles can't change their character because they are much less sophisticated than humans, people can change and 20 year olds do stupid stuff.

I think Cam is a genuine person he is just being interviewed and filmed SO much that occasionally he has to go into autopilot and just give generic "phoney" answers. Imagine getting the attention he gets. It has to be pretty grueling.

This is the typical argument with people that blindly hate Cam, you answer all the questions they have and then just manufacture new ones... LOL

Given enough time, I feel certain Cam would have beaten out The Golden Calf of Bristol for the starting job at Florida, but we'll never know. I think it's unreasonable to expect a freshman to walk in and immediately beat out the incumbent starter. Renner didn't beat out TJ Yates at UNC, does that mean Renner is a crappy QB?

I just don't see this kid doing what it will take to be Elite. I mean when you pick a guy #1 overall that is the goal right? Not average, not good, not very good...Elite.

So winning two national championships and the Heisman doesn't demonstrate that Cam is willing to do what it takes to be great???

I haven't seen that much of Newton but when I do see him, I can't help but be reminded of the character played by The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) in the movie "The Game Plan". If you haven't seen the movie, it's about a partying, self-centered QB who plays selfishly thinking the game is all about him. Of course it being a Disney movie, everything works itself out but this isn't a Disney movie and I can't help but think Cam will always be about Cam.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
