Cam Newton -

no big whoop - doesnt mean jack to any of you or him but I am eating my own crow when I say I really didnt like taking him as our first pick this year. Thought he was overated and arrogant. Its easy like Newton after slinging it for over 400 this first game, but taking a good look at some of the video - the guy just seems to love the game - enjoys the physicality of it and the brutality - and thats the sort of player I like - I didnt see that coming before from him.

Should he put up some dismal numbers the rest of the season I am still going to be behind him.

My one concern is how many hits hes taking - sure hes a big guy and young and strong - but between sacks, and hits this past week, his dive over the top ( 2x), plus his solo tackle - he went to the the ground over 20 times - thats a beating for any qb- our o line needs to really step it up and give him some protection and he needs to start protecting himself or he will get hurt and then we are all in for some very dismal games.

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.

      We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
