So Are We Now Accepted...

..into the league of "real" nfl football teams. Teams like the Steelers and Cowboys, teams that always get the press and have a huge fan base. Lets be honest here, Cam Newton easily has the potential to be the biggest star in football. If you give superstar stats to a man who has the looks, the charisma, the professionalism, the work-ethic and that huge grin hes always rockin, he can easily become much bigger than Tom Brady, Peyton or Favre.

What I'm wondering is it possible we see a massive influx of fans? Are we going to be on Sunday Night Football? Are we going to be on the front page of NFL.com (check)? Could Cam bring us into that league of teams?

Cam will be on the front page... But the team... Well we may sneak in a mention or two.

we need to.... you know... win first...

U are so right about that...Listening to ESPN and NFLN it was all Cam and the Panthers barely got a mention.

The Panthers led every highlight show I've seen tonight whether on TV or online. And that's in a LOSS. We've received less coverage on some playoff wins.

My thoughts exactly. It will be a Cam slurpfest or hatefest depending on the person talking about us.

Had they won, after ATL, TB, and NO lost, then they would be. As it stands now, "no".

Even if the almost beat GB, they still won't be.

Cam is a Panther last time I checked. If they only want to talk about Cam Newton and nobody else that's fine with me. After all, the only other Panther that did anything significant was 89 and I'm sure he'll get a lot of play this week since I think he's currently leading the league in receiving yards.

our rookie quarterback had the best performance since otto graham and we lost. raise your hand if you think you'll see cam put up another performance like this during this season? now put your hands down.

we proved that we can compete. but when your qb puts up 400+ yards and only one INT, you better fuggin win.

Cam led it, not the Panthers. No one believes the Panthers are world-beaters after losing to Arizona.

If he has a preseason-like game next week and they lose, this week's stats won't mean all that much. Had they won this week, then he threw 3 INTs in a loss next week, they wouldn't have been able to take this weeks win from him or the team.

If he sucks big time next week, they will take away this week's glory, therefore, it doesn't really matter.

um, that would be accurately describing the game, for the most part.

[Sam Mills Fan]

Cam IS a Panther. If Jake Delhomme had ever led ESPN's highlights, would we have said it was Jake getting all the attention and not the team? No.

I don't get why some people don't see Cam as a member of this team. He's a superstar in the making sure, but that's a Panther on his helmet and no other team.

[Jangler]

He will have to have more than one great game...and ya know...win. :)

Cam is the team. You hear Tom Brady, you think the Patriots. You hear Peyton Manning, you think the Colts. You hear Cam Newton, you think the Carolina Panthers.

Let's not start this "they only like us for Cam" garbage.
