to break that 2,000 receiving mark? I thought considering his age and our wasted years at the QB position, he would never live up to that potential. Yet yesterday, even at his age, he can still get behind defenders and go up and ****** balls out of the air. Now that we have a QB who can throw the ball, will Smitty break the 2,000 mark?:D

By the way, Cam and Smitty are leading the league in passing and receiving right now!

I've said it numerous times, but if Smith wants a shot at the HOF at this point he's going to have to do something remarkable. Either win the triple crown again or deliver 2000 yds in a season. If he does that then I think it makes him a lock.

We all know how good Smith is but the HOF looks at stats and the Panthers are not exactly media favorites. The years of garbage QB's and no WR help have hurt his chances. So it will take something like this make people see.

Of course I believe he can do it, but I'm also a Smitty fan.

No. Cams gonna look like a rookie in some games. And the cardinals secondary blows. Wait till we play a defense that has a good secondary. Yesterday was no fluke, but you can't expect anything close to that every week

Why not?! 6k+ yards, 48 TDs is extremely plausible for a rookie!

If Smith can Stay healthy and play more years then he can probably be a HOF. Jerry Rice played a lot of seasons. That is one reason why no one can touch his records. Rice was great don't get me wrong but one reason why his stats are so great is because he played so many games. His career lasted so long because he trained well (actually his training was so tough many WRs couldn't train with him) and stayed healthy for his career. TO has lasted a while as well and probably will come back after he heals from his surgery. If Smith decides to play and stay in shape then I feel he could possibly be a HOF with Cam as his QB. I am going to hate the day Smith goes but it looks like its going to happen within the next five years, but he is so strong that maybe he could last a bit longer if he can keep his speed.

We saw what blitzing against Cam will do to a team. I think teams will take notice and start backing off. Yet if they do that, our running game should take off. So it becomes a pick your poison thing. Most teams will probably choose to blitz because Cam's a rookie, and that will allow the Smitty connection to take place. I think this is going to be a special season for him.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
