The article covers all the drama, criticism and highlights of Cam's rise. It's kind of amazing to reflect on the extremes surrounding him, but I think we can never wonder if the kid has mental toughness. How the hell does a normal person survive all that insanity?

that really was a great article.

and it really puts all the negative hype against cam into perspective from the media. It seems like they really didn't want him to succeed, and it helps to explain a lot of the hate he received. I'll admit to being guilty of that as well. It's hard not to be manipulated by that many people saying the same stuff. Props to those who believed in cam from the beginning, and of course, props to our awesome QB for coming out unscathed.

In regards to Cam's early success being only because of defenses getting behind during the lockout..

For those keeping track at home, yes, September 20th is the day the rookie who would surely struggle after the NFL lockout became the rookie who's only succeeding because of the NFL lockout.

Bingo.

    • in fact the only real logical plan (even if you didn't love it)......was the start of the Rhule era.  You bring in Teddy B for 2 years paired w/ Joe Brady to get a functional base up and running.   You draft a QB at some point to bring up and insert into that foundation.  But Teddy hurt feelings and IMO ever since then, Carolina has lacked any sort of reasonable vision plan on offense.  Then we went right into reject win now football.  Then we said, nope, lets draft a unicorn kid and pair him with coaches whose scheme he doesn't fit....and let's do it all day 1.  
    • that makes us way too light (literally).  I'm not certain Jimmy Horn could run block on the outside if Bryce Young was there up against him.    I'm not anti Horn coming in.  I think think Renfrow probably running too much volume.  He is too quirkly to be running that high of a % in this scheme IMO.  So give Horn some pass down only work and spell Renfrow a little.  I think you need a bigger body on the outside.  Tremayne makes the most sense to me.  
    • How dare fans be upset when Tepper makes us slog through this embarrassing thing he calls professional football, especially when us pathetic nobodies have been right about the draft, free agents, and front office/coaching moves in general than those being paid millions.
