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.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
