No offense to the "Great One" Brett Favre, but no one can mentor Cam Newton better than the guy whose already mentoring him... Warren Moon. Warren Moon's skillset is more similiar than Cam's and he'll be able to provide a certain amount of experience and perspective historically that Cam will be able to learn from. Brett Favre was indeed great... but that doesnt mean that you're a good teacher. Warren Moon has done the same thing for other young QB's and he seems to genuinely care enough about Cam Newton to stick up for him publically.

I think Favre would be a great resource for Cam, but here's the part I really liked:

The encouraging news for Panthers fans anxious to see Newton is that the new face of their franchise is already immersed in learning the team's playbook with the help of former NFL QB and current IMG mentor Ken Dorsey, who played for Panthers offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski at the University of Miami from 2000-2003.

So he's working with someone that knows Chud's offense... that's exactly what he needs to be doing right now.

It worked for Rodgers.

Rodgers wouldve been a good QB with or without Brett Favre. He's won a superbowl much earlier than Brett did. Sitting and watching means that you can also learn what NOT to do.

But even if we wanna attribute all of Rodgers succes to Brett Favre... that doesnt mean that Brett Favre could mentor Cam Newton. Its two different situation, with two totally different types of Quaterbacks.

anyone actually bothering to read the article and not talk out of their anus would see that favre has talked about coming back as a coach...not a player. thats what the discussion is about.

come on. Whenever anyone hears the name "Favre", they're going to think he wants to come out of retirement.

You could tell me he's buying a stake in an NFL team this coming year and I'd wonder if it wasn't a way for him to try to get back on the field. ;)

Rodgers wouldve been a good QB with or without Brett Favre. He's won a superbowl much earlier than Brett did. Sitting and watching means that you can also learn what NOT to do.

we really have no idea. The ability for Rodgers to sit on the bench and learn for a bit helped him I personally think, but who knows. There are some that would argue that Rodgers would have looked TERRIBLE if he had been forced to play his rookie year.

Either way, I don't think Favre was mentoring Rodgers at all in GB. But if he WANTED to mentor Cam, I see no reason why he couldn't... great quarterback... though I do hope he doesn't pick up some of his bad habits of throwing into coverage constantly. ;)

Kennifer was also on the Browns while Chud was the OC, so he's also seen it at a pro level.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
