Time will tell if I had to guess I'd say it's going to be split between believers that see his potential, non-believers that will support him just because he's our guy/hope for the best and guys hoping he will fail just so that they can avoid being wrong about Cam.

Won't be Cams fault, but Hurneys

Cam is what he is. A project. One Hurney is betting will turn out well. I do not expect anything from any QB in the coming season. All projects and in need of immense coaching (which they will not get with the CBA situation)

I lean pro-Newton in this draft, and in spite of my frustrations, I always support the team.

But I think that Newton will need to hold up his end of the bargain. He needs to get to practice on time, put in his time with the playbook, the film room, keep out of trouble off the field, and generally, put forth the effort.

If he doesn't, things will turn real sour, real fast. I'd bet a paycheck on that.

What I don't want to see from fans is an immediate indictment on his abilities right off the bat, especially if he really is putting in the work. He's gotta fall down before he can walk. He's got to walk before he can run. He's got to run before he become a star- a franchise quarterback.

Have you read these forums? I don't care what anyone here says, this type of venom won't stop the minute he puts on the Carolina Panther hat. You can't spend months tearing down a guy and honestly say now that he is a panther I will support him. That probably means you won't boo his first int.

He is still going to have to prove himself to get support from a lot of people. People thinking the Cam Newton threads are going to stop once he is drafted are naive. Every good game the Cam lovers are going to flood the place with I told you so's. Every bad game it will be the same. It all depends on how well he plays. Hell short of Superbowl MVP I think the Highlandfires, Joat, jpinner and TRD will still hate him.

      Travis Hunter on T-Mac

      By Seltzer · Posted

      T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade.   Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future.  And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.
