It's not good to have lost all those games last year and getting the #1 overall pick in the draft .... but .... the Carolina Panthers couldn't have picked a better year to have that #1 pick. :D

It looks like the Panthers "hit the lottery" in 2011 with Cam.

Let's hope he gets better and better. It's kind of scary to think how good he might be with a year or two of NFL experience. He might be better than Tom Brady and Peyton by then. Maybe sooner. Never know with Cam.

I just hope the Oline coaches are working HARD with the Oline guys. They gotta protect their new record breaking QB like he's the President and they're the Secret Service or something. They're the body guards.

It would be bad for the Panthers if Cam got injured just like with the Colts without Peyton. The Colts are in bad shape for this season. No doubt.

The Oline need to be "bad azzes" in the trenches in passing AND run blocking. They need to give Cam more time so he can throw with good mechanics with his footwork and follow thru, etc.

Cam still needs some time to get used to the speed of the NFL. The NFL is like a computer game that has multiple levels that get faster and faster. Cam needs to get used to playing at level 9-10 ... up from level 7 in SEC college football. When Cam is hurried too much, he tends to try to force things and make mistakes like he did in the Packers game. The Packers defense was a definite 10 defense. Gotta admit, Cam did alright against those guys. A lot of experienced QBs would kill to throw 430 yards on the Packers defense.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
