Take the Cam Newton pledge...

I pledge my conditional support to the TEAM. I disagree that Cam Newton is the biggest hope for a franchise QB. And since I don't agree with drafting him I will criticize him all while pretending to pull for him. I hope for him to improve and develop into the QB we all hope he will become. But I will be pulling out the 'I told you so' comments at a later date, and won't wait for a season or two to do it. I will provide my unsolicited opinion about Cam with heavy doses of criticism. I promise not to heap undue praise on Cam but can't say the same about the criticism, as well. Finally....I, by the way, did not take any Matt Moore pledge but I did take the Clausen one.

Fixed it for you.

I pledge to support Cam, Clausen or Anderson as our quarterbacks. It is likely each of them will start sometime this year and they need all the support we can give them.

I will not unduly criticize them despite the fact that they will all struggle. I will do my best to not respond to other poster's ignorant comments when they criticize our guys despite all the obstacles they have to overcome. I will also try to ignore all the hysterical posting following a loss which will be frequent especially the first half of the year.

I will resort back to not posting for 24 hours after a loss to avoid all the sky is falling posts and will try to not respond to all the trolls and fishing excursions. And finally I will do my best to make the tailgates where you can actually meet and drink with posters instead of going back and forth in pissing contests on this message board.

This didn't go so well the last time :(

Pretty much.

My opinion: Newton isn't ready to start, and he'll be better off sitting and learning for a year, especially given that the team around him has looked borderline awful at times. Starting him now risks screwing up a player in whom we have a big time investment.

My allegiance: As a fan, I'm behind whomever is out there. We could sign and start Ryan Leaf, and while I might not like the decision I'd cheer for him and hope for his success.

That's fan life.

This.

Dont need to take this pledge, my support for this team will remain in tact longer than Cam under center. I was a Panther fan while Cam and Clausen were picking their noses in grade school, and will be after they retire, the good Lord willing.. My pledge is and always will be to support the Carolina Panthers, regardless of who it is wearing the uniform...

As soon as I saw the sports science on Cam ive been a fan. This dude has sheer physical characteristics that you just dont see everyday. He has the rough mold, now he needs the fine tuning. Watch him surpass Freeman/Ryan/Brees in a few years and be the king of the south. Three preseason games arent enough footage to fully evaluate newton, dont jump the gun and act like a doofus

I _KaseKlosed do hereby pledge that Cam Newton has my full support as the Carolina Panthers starting quarterback. The fact that I did/didn't (circle one) has no bearing on my decision to live in reality and realize Cam is the biggest hope for a franchise QB that we have ever had.

In addition, I realize Cam will at times struggle, and promise not to throw him under the bus at any given opportunity. I understand that Cam is here under a multi year plan, and not a 6 week plan.

By accepting this pledge, your Matt Moore pledge started by some knuckle head last season is null and void.

Clausen was a leap of faith as a second round pick and third QB taken.

Cam was the #1 pick in the draft and getting paid big bucks. To think that expectations should be the same is simply not how he will be judged in reality. There is no sense on this board being out of touch with reality.

No pledge here.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
