Don't POP an artery Dave. He's in the NFL. His reign in college is over. Now its time to prove he can win at the next level. Until he does, until I see him take a snap under center correctly, make reads like a NFL QB, go through his progressions first then bolt and become a franchise player. Until he dominates I won't believe he's our guy. Just because I don't believe now, doesn't mean I don't want him to become our franchise QB and a nightmare to the rest of the league. He has to prove it at the next level. Bottom line.

Oh I see so that means you are only a fan when we are good? Same concept!! You only think we will be good after we have 12 Ws under our belt. If you don't believe than what do you have. Jump on the bandwagon after he is good. And if he fails then you can say I told you so...

Sounds aweful bandwagon to me.

Allow me to laugh at your bad attempt to label me as a 'bandwagon' fan. The idea of it is silly. Don't question my loyalty for this franchise that I love dearly. I was with the panthers since the beginning. Through high and lows, 1-15 and recently 2-14. Just because I'm skeptic on a guy that is a huge question mark and has a lot of work ahead of him, does not suggest I'm a bandwagon fan good sir. He has a whole lot to prove. Until he does I'm not a fan of cam. I am a panther fan. I'll support the guy because he's on my team, I will hope he truly becomes special. Right now I'm skeptic. I'm not the only person that feels this way. Im waiting on cam to prove me wrong. Idont have a problem to say I am wrong either. That's about it. Oh, font question my loyalty without knowing me. You know what they say when you assume right?

You're a bandwagon fan.

Every rookie has to prove themselves, so you should say I'm not a fan of no rookie until they prove themselves.don't take into consideration that the guy is busting his ass during the off season.and you are a bandwagon fan if you wait until he wins to like him, what the fug you think that means?

I still don't understand why people questioned his work ethic in the first place. There was never any evidence that he wouldn't work hard, aside from the opinions of people who didn't even know the kid.
it's understandable, though. no question he cheated on a few tests while at florida as a freshman.

i understand from experience that poor test taking abilities doesn't equal laziness or stupidity. also, being a good student in gen. ed. classes have nothing to do with how well you do in areas that you actually care about. people look at him cheating and automatically assume that means he's either stupid or lazy and for a lot of people, probably most it just isn't true.

anyway, they put a lot of stock into mistakes/shortcomings he had as a freshman and figure thats just who he is, ignoring the notion that people can and do actually change and grow up after making mistakes brought on by immaturity.

NO I am not. You're a bandwagon fan. You smell too, like that? Huh? huh, huh, huh!? *pokes you with a stick* (please don't hurt me.)

The fug did I just say? I'm skeptical of Cam Newton, until he proves himself in the NFL level. I don't like the pick, don't like the fact he's a project. Actually I am taking into consideration that he's doing the right thing by studying his play book and training with Weinke. That's actually awesome of him, good job on his part to take initiative. Now keep climbing those steps, It's a long way to where he needs to be. When the fug did I say that his current actions mean squat?! Quit putting words in my mouth froggy. Damn why are people such A-holes around here when you don't see eye to eye with them?

      PGA Tour disrespect Dave Tepper and the Carolina Panthers

      By BlazeCarolina · Posted

      Very true.  Sports are also getting crazier than ever.  I have seen full blown armored fights making a combat.  Bonkers to me Medieval fights are a thing again.  I don't watch it enough to know, but how has someone not died or been seriously injured?

      Definitely not a classy move.  They deleted it, though.  Maybe they realized that.  Maybe they got a call from Tepp lol.

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      Wanted to take a step back and look at how the Panthers' WR room has evolved over the past three seasons... especially now that Bryce finally has a corps with defined roles and actual upside heading into 2025. It's been a journey from stopgap veterans to a room that actually feels built for a modern NFL offense. We've come a long way from DJ Chark and TMJ. Speaking of... 2023: Inseparable WRs: Adam Thielen (slot), DJ Chark (X), Terrace Marshall Jr. (Y), Jonathan Mingo (rookie), Laviska Shenault, Ihmir Smith-Marsette What Happened: Bryce's rookie year. Thielen was productive but heavily targeted out of necessity. Chark couldn't stay healthy, and TMJ didn't break out (again). Mingo was raw and got bounced between roles. Shenault was a gadget guy. ISM was a special teams guy that eventually took Shenault's role. No clear WR1, no deep speed threat, and nothing consistent beyond Thielen. Bryce was throwing into tight windows constantly. TMJ started at Y but was inactive after Shenault returned. Mingo was drafted by Reich/Fitterer, while TMJ was a Rhule/Hurney holdover - so Mingo got more looks down the stretch as a possible possession WR2.  Verdict: Ultimately, this was a group of veteran placeholders and miscast youth that had no real identity and was built for survival rather than development. 2024: The Reset WRs: Adam Thielen (slot), Diontae Johnson (X), Xavier Legette (Y, rookie), Jonathan Mingo, Jalen Coker (rookie), David Moore What Changed: New leadership brought in two guy to try and provide some juice to a group that was at the bottom of the league in separation. They traded for Diontae to play the X and up to #32 to draft XL as a long term Y with WR1 upside. Mingo backed up the slot and rotated outside before being dealt. Coker, a UDFA, started flashing early doing what was being asked of Mingo. Diontae was moved midseason after attitude issues. Mingo was dealt to Dallas with a 7th in exchange for a 2025 3rd - insane value considering Coker's emergence and what other WR trades have netted teams. Coker stepped into WR3 duties after the trades and held it down until Thielen returned from injury. XL earned praise for his toughness playing thru injury but had issues with drops that frustrated fans. Hopefully, his timing with Bryce improves in 2025. Coker filled that power slot/possession role the team hoped Mingo would grow into, and he did it with more consistency.  Verdict: The room got younger and more intentional. Diontae and Mingo weren't fits (the former due to attitude, the latter due to scheme), and once they were out, you could see the group trending upward. 2025: Real ID Projected WRs: Tetairoa McMillan (X), Xavier Legette (Y), Adam Thielen (slot), Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr (rookie)., and a battle for WR6 (David Moore, Hunter Renfrow, Jacolby George) The Vision: TMac was the pick at #8 overall and finally gives Bryce a real X with size, body control, and a presence in the red zone. XL gets to stay at the Y where he is a better fit until he develops further. AT becomes the vet/mentor rather than having to be WR1 as a slot receiver in his mid-30s. Coker offers rotational size and reliability to go along with his excellent hands. Jimmy Horn Jr. brings some of the speed and agility that Diontae brought last year, but with value as a returner as well. WR6 could come down to who brings more value on ST. It wouldn't surprise me to see Renfrow stashed on the PS. Verdict: Finally feels like a WR room built for Bryce instead of just giving him a few guys and demanding that he make them a top-10 unit. It has structure... size on the outside, RAC potential, vets inside, and defined depth roles. We've still got plenty of questions waiting to be answered: Who wins the WR6 spot? Does XL take the next step in year two? Does TMac hold up to expectations for a top-8 draft pick? Is the room truly improved or does it still lack a true separator amongst them? Still.. it's pretty cool stepping back and seeing how things have evolved over the last few seasons.
