Agreed, that is almost a first step of sorts, of him taking over the locker room, and putting his foot down on the type of things he doesn't want to here. Don't be telling Cam he can't win, and don't be on my team thinking that poo. #CAMNATION #TAKINOVER

never got that feeling when Fox was here...

Yeah, I love that Cam said that though. Nothing against Greg, as he had the best intentions, and we know Greg wants to win them all as well... But Cam has that "it" that may push others to expect more of themselves. I love that he said that.

careful with that kinda talk. cardiac cat might come to bash on you. then he'll insult your spelling and grammar.

Honestly, to be a player like Michael Jordan who is at the absolute top of your game, you have to be a little bit disfunctional. To have that absolute drive to the point that the thought of losing makes you want to flip, there really has to be a little bit of crazy in there somewhere.

Yeah, on top of the Sportscentury clip DP posted yesterday mentioning the fight with Kerr and Cartwright, I remember reading about how MJ would go ballistic back in college even when he lost Monopoly, lol. So yeah, I can accept our QB not liking a "you can't win them all" statement.

Again, it's not that Greg has a losing mentality, as he wants to win as well, but Cam is showing the characteristics of a franchise player who doesn't want to win, but needs and expects to. And now the team will have to do the same, even Rivera is hinting at it in the presser with "some of us are getting tired of it..."

I've mentioned in various threads how in my own experience in competition, I wasn't a smack talk guy. When I played in juco, I did what I did and I competed my hardest, but I didn't feel like I needed to vocalize a lot of things until it got out of hand. I suspect that's how most players are, and it's guys like Cam that demand more of them that makes them push that much further.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
