With this group we could go to the playoffs. Only problem we need a proven QB.

Really think we need to get Orton.

I understand the sentiment, and agree that we have the talent to get to the playoffs given good QB play. But we have to be a little patient.

This team has most of the pieces in place to be good for a number of years if we let it develop. I would hate to see us fall into the Redskin trap of trying to buy a championship.

Wouldnt be buying a championship. Not trolling. Why must the Panthers think they have to start Cam this year. When it is a known fact the only thing that sucked last year was our QB's. Dont make the fans go through Newtons growing pains sit him and bring in either Orton or Bulger to start.

rookie qb with a good supporting cast have made the playoffs before..let's not assume we need a vet to get us there...also what guy who wants to start is going to come to Carolina and have the fans screaming for Newton every time they make a mistake.

Squirrel man I was just about to create a thread when I read this. Seriously we are building a team similar to the Jets and Mark Sanchise first year that was gonna ne the thread but I'll put it here. I'm a major football fanatic I watch everything think back two years they gave that kid weapons upon weapons which we have now done. Two playmaking tight ends a strong running game, and a stout turnover friendly defense (not sure we are turn over friendly yet but going off the basis that R R is a d guru). Remember they went to the AFC Champ (a tougher conference). It's about putting your rookie in a good manageable situation which they did and it seems we are doing so basically I'm sayin we can get to the playoffs with Cam if he plays at a good level not great just good even taking into account his rookie mistakes.

I wanted Orton or Palmer before the draft. Wouldn't be opposed to it now. Let Newton learn for a year or so. The best case scenario is a Brett Favre-Aaron Rodgers or a Brees-Rivers type situation, which I would have loved.

I agree that's the best scenario but we can win NOW our way Atl did it Nyj did it its about weapons for your rookie QB and strong coaching. I know our boy isn't a Matt Ice type but you never know how people elevator there game. I can't wait to see if he can do that because our defense should b a top ten or really close to it if the offense makes plays and scores we should easily win 9-10 games in all seriousness after checking the schedule.

They don't have to start Newton this year. But sooner or later we have to get a franchise QB to have long term success. Whether it is Cam, or Jimmy (stop laughing), the only way they are going to develop is to play.

I for one am tired of just trying to get by with a decent QB. I am a greedy fan, and I want a star at the most important position on the field. Not for the exposure the team would get or the notoriety, but because that is what it takes to win in this league given the current rules.

      Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' preseason loss to Texans

      By Icege · Posted

      I'm happy with TMac, but Tyler Warren was last season's Tyler Linderbaum for me in that he was at a position that wasn't one of the five pillars but he was the best player at his position AND one of the top talents in the draft. I cannot fuging wait for the Panthers to start winning again so that those guys fall to us like they seem to for teams like Baltimore & Philadelphia.

      Panthers' content round up

      By Icege · Posted

      Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!

      Allen was borderline unplayable in College.  He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has.
