Panthers Get Unexpected Christmas Gift

I'm sure Luck will be a fine NFL quarterback. The Colts will probably take him with the top pick this spring, and he will be able to learn under Peyton Manning for a couple of years before taking the big stage.

But the Panthers' greatest gift this year was one they didn't even know they wanted. Newton has taken Panther fans on a thrill ride like we had with that three-wheeler--some bumps and bruises along the way, but the promise of years of “did you see that?” moments we'll never forget.

I have an interesting question concerning Cam. How much credit does Derek Anderson get for Cam's development. The only area I really see DA helped Cam in, is pump faking the ball and looking off defenders. In the pre-season, Cam didn't do any of that. Then in the 4th pre-season game, DA came in against the Steelers and played well. Pump faking and hitting a guy deep for a touchdown. So in the Arizona game, I noticeably saw Cam pump fake a couple of times, and I credit DA in that area. How about you guys, did DA help Cam this year?

    • That's also in an era when DBs could press for 10 yards, Qbs could be hit, QBs could have players land on them, incidental contact could be made with the head etc. You can't compare bryce to players like this. What you can do is say who's done less over their first 30 starts and had more resources dedicated to them and at that point you're looking at like Joey Harrington.  At least with Joey there weren't morons in the fan base falling over themselves to compare him to players from the first year of the NFL merger. 
    • Brees had a pro bowl year in year 3. Phillip Rivers was drafted anyways and Brees went off for two more years before his shoulder was completely torn up in the last game of the 2006 season. 
    • The last time this franchise was in this much despair pre Tepper, the rumors of the banner flyover were met by the front office. They quickly worked with the disgruntled fans to quell any potential negative event occurring at the Stadium or TV. The real question is do we even have enough fans that care to get together behind a movement like this again or is our fan base too far gone that we dont care to revolt like this? Personally, I still go to games each year no matter how terrible it is, but it has went from something I spent all week looking forward to almost as enjoyable as yearly physical. We can count the blunders this franchise has made in keeping Head Coaches, General Managers and players too long. (Rivera,Rhule, Hurney, Fitterrer). Team wise we've missed out on Herbert, we didnt trade Burns for 2 1st round picks, we reached by taking Bryce who would have most likely been were we were going to draft anyway, and extended players who constantly underperformed like Ian Thomas. Even when we are gifted a chance like 2 first for Burns that we shouldnt have paid premium, we fumbled a chance to really jump start the franchise. So this is more to everyone as a whole. How much of your Soul for this team is left? Is it still there that if there was a glimmer of hope, you'd come right back or has the futility of this team negated your love for football completely?
