This might be the most useless article in the history of articles. I expect much ridicule for posting it but it was just so... I just had to post it. That is all.

http://www.nashville.com/music/2011/10/darius-rucker-apologizes-to-cam-newton/

South Carolina native and current resident Darius Rucker has issued an apology to Cam Newton, who was the first-round draft pick for the NFL’s Carolina Panthers. You see, Darius is a huge Gamecock fan, even attending the University of South Carolina, and when football star and Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton helped to blast the singer’s beloved Gamecocks 56-17 in 2010, Darius said the player would never cut it in the NFL. He was way off the mark , and he has since apologized to the rookie quarterback.

“I was one of those who, when he was coming out of college, me being a Gamecock fan and knowing what he did to us and the SEC last year, I was a hater,” Darius told the Charlotte Observer. “I’ll never forget his first [regular-season] game. I told a buddy that Cam is going to get blown up. I would like to apologize to Cam Newton. I was dead wrong.”

“His football IQ is off the charts,” Darius continues. “I love his body language. I love the way he walks down the field. You know he’s a leader. Every day I’m becoming more and more of a Cam Newton fan. If you’d told me last year I’d be saying that, I’d have said you’re crazy.”

I know but I was surfing around looking for Panthers articles and come across "Darius Rucker apologizes to Cam Newton". How do I not read that?? Hootie. I mean he blows fish!! It says so right in the name!!

As Cartman would say, "He likes fish sticks"

Look we all listen to different types of music. Some people will say it sucks cause it aint their type. Just because you dont like hootie doesnt mean they suck. 16,000,000 sold does not equal suck. I am huge fan of hootie and darius. If cam came from a team you hated, you would probably feel the same way. Do just start slinging hate around just because you are not a fan.

Then hate me too cause I hated Cam after what he did to my Gamecocks and Darius is a cool guy he doesn't have a mean bone in his body.. I ate breakfast with him once several years ago.

It was at Waffle House and I was sitting in the booth next to him so I guess I didn't really eat breakfast with him....but I was close. :)

Cam has been forgiven by all Gamecock/Panther fans.

    • This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY. 
    • The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.
    • I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
