For those of you that don't know, George was Cam's personal QB coach before the draft...

Awesome tweets here with great perspective:

The 12-hour days of QB camp Cam Newton put in with @georgewhitfield for weeks and weeks this offseason paying off.

*I'm running all over the training field today teaching & I'm told that the Panthers battled the Packers tough & that Cam had another "day"..

*Then a 9 year old who arrived early for the next session comes down the track screaming "4-3-2!". Had no idea what meant. Then I heard...

*I'm so incredibly proud of my latest student like any teacher would be. It isn't the numbers, though AMAZING, it's his defiance & work ethic

*The Panthers lost today and are now 0-2. And I can already see that being the 'low hanging fruit' for all the detractors.

*The Colts were 3-13 in Peyton Manning's rookie year & Dallas was 1-15 with Troy Aikman. Great players get drafted to bad teams.

*The difference this last week was that detractors far & wide couldn't wait to discount Cam's debut. Beginner's luck. Cardinals D. Miracle.

*After a historical performance all I heard was "He'll come back to Earth" vs Pack D. "Gig is up". "He'll get a wake up call vs Capers"!

*Sportsnation said he was finally playing a "Varsity defense". Varsity? In a professional league, how are accomplishments discounted so much

*I know Cam is sick about being 0-2 and wants to help that team get a "W" each time out. But they are improving & competing each week!

*Cowboy fans were rewarded for hanging in there w Aikman & so were the Colts, obviously w Manning. Hang in there Panther Nation!

*For all those ppl that "safely" predicted Cam's (reality check) & (implosion) this wk vs the Super Bowl Champs... Thank you

*Going forward the true pressure is on the Detractors more than it is on #1 for the Panthers.

*Detractors will be up late & maybe w/o sleep working to redefine, discount, & knock Cam's play, again. "How do we spin it now?" #goodluck

*What will they say next? What will Cam Newton do next?

*C-Rex!

*Finally saw the highlights of Pack/ Panther game. This was Dr Aaron Rogers vs Cam Newton the Med student.

@georgewhitfield joe montana was 2-14 his rookie year and john elway was 4-12 I think. Even, steve young was on a 5-11 bucs team.

He put it well at the end.

The Packers are what we can become. Cam is learning while Rodgers is a certified baller already.

Yeah, I loved that quote "Doctor" and "Med Student," lol...

I've never been more excited going forward following losses (don't get me wrong, I'm pissed we let them both get away though, lol).

      Legette for Coleman?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      IDK how we go from good player for good player trade suggestions to dumpster fire bust for dumpster fire bust trade suggestions. Even though Coleman is better, he has a littany of motivation and discipline issues. Do we think milquetoast Dave is gonna fix that??

      Recommended free agent targets from roppster report

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I am not worried about the contracts because any/all can be jettisoned in 2027 with minimal ramifications. I would like to land him because you rarely ever see an elite, 25 year old center hit free agency, this is a very weak center class and Mays is a bottom quarter starting center(love him as a utility IOL).  Ideally this offseason we solve center and draft a high caliber RT/LT to fill the gap for Ikey. Then next offseason, pending outcome of the rookie and Ikey's recovery you can jettison Hunt(VASTLY overpaid), make a determination on Ikey's ability to play(perhaps extend him on the franchise tag as a "prove it"), and let the Ikey/rookien situation dictate Moton. He can be extended on a LOWER cost deal or jettisoned if Ikey and the rookie can take the reigns. Either way, both OT's will need to be resolved, we need an actually starting caliber NFL center again and we need to get rid of one of these OG's. Hunt is the obvious choice as Lewis is substantially better across the board and cheaper.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's not a thing. If they can't find someone, they either aren't actually trying or it's a poisonous job and no one will.  Yes, plenty of them have gone with whom they wanted already. That's not really the point of the rule. It's to force teams to provide opportunities. It has worked well because coaches that wouldn't normally be given interviews are given that experience and teams have also been impressed enough to either offer them in the future or pass positive comments along to other NFL owners/front office personnel.  Also, we are over 20 years into the Rooney Rule. This isn't some new thing teams have to navigate.
