I was neither a hater or lover but listening to Rivera speak on total access he really sounds sold on the decision and met with him 5 times before the draft siting his athletic ability,decision making and leadership.

I cannot say that I have ever seen such great expectations for a player.As this cba lingers on even all the cam nuthuggers have to start wondering at some point how effective can he be w/o backing up a vet.

This lockout is going to cost cam some nice rookie #'s I can assure you that. No minicamps, really hurts a team installing new parts and plays like us rather than a New Orleans or New England, etc.

I expect the talent bridge to really show next season because of all this bullpoo going on with the league--if there is a season.

Listening to Rivera last night on total access it appears they are tooling the plays around his skill set. My guess is that alot will depend on when the CBA is in place and Cam signed but it sounded as though thier intentions are to play him as ASAP.

One thing that I have not heard mentioned is how long do you think it will take to sign him to a contract after the CBA is resolvd?

Probably not long. If a new CBA includes rookie slotting, the deal will be set by the CBA, and I heard we already had preliminary discussions with his agents where we were willing to pay Sam Bradford money.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
