Not really debating what you said, but just adding some footnotes.

I think its quite fitting for one of the greatest college prospects having to be the encore or the punchline of what most are now considering the greatest rookie season ever. Especially given the history of the Panthers and the pursuit of Luck.

they'll be comparing his rookie season next year to cam's

Nobody is butt hurt here son. Come this weekend i'll watch my guy Dalton play his way into the playoffs (if he can) against one of the best defenses in football. Andy has had an amazing season both in stats and wins. While your boy Cam will be playing for.....what exactly? Maybe next year.

Rookie of the Year is an award given to an individual. Wins are not the stats of an individual. This is the same argument people used to cover up The Golden Calf of Bristol's problems. Now it's being used to supplement the lesser accomplishments of Dalton when compared to Newton.

Last I looked there's 53 guys on a team. Teams make playoffs, not players as individuals.

Nobody here is saying Dalton hasn't had a good rookie season. However, Cam's has been one of the best rookie seasons ever. It's not even debatable. no matter how many times you want to downplay Cam's achievements by throwing a playoff card out there.

      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.
