Someone needs to tell Cam that he is HARDLY the reason the Panthers lost today. The SPECIAL TEAMS guys are the ones who should be yelled at during practice this week. They knew that Devin Hester is a beast on returns and they should have prepared all week with him in mind.

If they didn't think they could contain Hester then the coaches should have told them to just kick it out of bounds all day ... or kick it short to some other player. No shame in that. Not with Hester. He's about the only returner in the NFL you probably should refuse to kick to. Maybe Ted Ginn wth the 49ers too. Those guys have long histories of burning everyone.

C42[)14C C47 - What exactly are you trying to prove? This type of thing happens all the time in sports. It has nothing to do with maturity level. Let's move on!

I'm not trying to prove anything, just stating that it's an immature thing to tell your teammate off when he's trying to pick you up after a tough loss...

Something people forget, he's 22. He may be ready to lead on the field, but off it will take time.

Yep. That's a concern of mine too. His off the field activities. Hopefully he has a REALLY good agent and managers who are keeping an eye on him. I know I was still fairly immature at age 22 too and I didn't have millions in the bank to play with either (thankfully).

I also did the same thing once. I played college b-ball and my senior year I missed the game winning shot in the conference tourney final from right in front of the basket.

After the game I was pretty dejected and one of my good friends/teammates consoled me with the typical "You are one of the guys that got us here" type jargon.

I responded with a "Fug you man I don't want to hear that sh*t right now" and walked away from him.

I wasn't mad at him I just felt like I had let the whole team down. As soon as we got on the bus to go back to school I apologized to him and that was the end of it. Not even a hint of bad feelings.

I am sure this is the same type deal.

However, Cam still needs to learn that he is the leader of this team and needs to learn how to channel that emotion and passion in the correct direction. As the QB this was unacceptable and he needs to view it as a learning opportunity.

1. Don't know if it happened

2. if it did, they are grown men, they will handle it or the team will handle it

3. team has bigger issues from an execution standpoint then worrying about what

Olsen and Newton may have said to each other.

NO comes in Sunday and at least this team isn't a joke on the late show anymore. Sill the other team's highlight film, yes, but, Panthers have a few highlights of their own.

I'm not worried about where he goes off the field, this kid lives and breathes football. I just think he needs to grow up as far as his attitude after a loss. This isn't college anymore, there will be plenty of losses along the way. He needs to learn to take the bad with the good and take it all in stride....

I wonder if some of you have ever played sports. Players get emotional after a hard fought loss and sometimes they snap at each other. It's normal. I'm sure the talking heads will babble about this for a couple of days and the sheep will call in and voice their opinions like this is a national tragedy, but I guarantee you that Olsen and Newton are already over it.

I've disagreed with so many of your posts in the past but I couldn't agree with this one more. This is all I'm saying, put this behind you, learn from it and don't have it happen again...these guys are your brothers, not the enemy....

Nobody is saying it's a big deal at all. We're just saying that Cam needs to realize who his teammates are and respond better after a loss. You're not going to win every single game in the NFL so you have to learn to cope with the losses....

He should have said it to Jay Cutler, not Greg Olsen who's helped him out on the field on several occasions this season.

Oh, look at you, chiming in YET AGAIN on what Newton "should" do.

I bet you are one of the most highly paid personal advisers in the history of the National Football League.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
