Went to Jordan Gross's kickball tournament

Went out to Jordan Gross's kickball tournament, participants included:

Cam Newton

Jimmy Clausen

Matt Moore

Steve Smith

DeAngelo Williams

Ryan Kalil

Travelle Wharton

Geoff Schwartz

McKenzie Bernadeau

Chris Harris

Armanti Edwards

Kevin Donnelly

Cam showed up in dress shoes, didn't expect to actually play but the guys talked him into it, at one point he was playing 3rd base with Clausen playing short stop and they were both wearing # 2. QCB from WFNZ was the MC and at one point when it was Cam's turn to kick QCB told him to take his shoes off and do it "kunta kinta" style, LOL

They were giving away tickets to Panthers games, etc... Gross was on the microphone as well and QCB asked him if the tickets were in Smith's luxury suite, Gross said "nah, that's all cleaned out". There were several moments when Gross had the crowd show Smitty some love and commented how we were trying to keep him in Charlotte. At one point, a lady standing right infront of me asked for a picture with Smitty and he climbed up on the fence to take it with her, after the picture she asked him what it would take for him to stay and he shook his head... could have just as easily been shaking his head like "I'm not answering that" but it was an interesting response none the less.

Anyhow, it was a great event for a great cause... the huddle should put together a team next year to compete.

Sounds like it was fun. Kunta Kinte, classic. lol

If the huddle put together a team, Panthro, Zod, and Dimbee would win alone with their mAd middle school skillz.

    • 4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.
    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
