Waste of Internet space.

It wasn't just "questioned", whether Cam could throw from the pocket. The Analysts said HE DEFINITELY COULD NOT.

There's a difference, and that's no reflected in that article. They didn't just "wonder" whether or not he could. They ADAMANTLY said he could not.

Well, first it started as questioning. Then as it got closer to draft day and they realized he had a chance to go off the board as the first pick, it became a real concern.

I have to admit, I've watched a lot of sports in my time and the media's vitriolic attack on Cam during the draft was like nothing I've ever seen. It was clear they knew who they wanted to go off the draftboard first and Cam was not the one and they were not going to let up.

I was all in for Cam before the draft. But get this. I made my own opinion by watching his games myself. I downloaded as many as I could. I also done the same for Gabbert. After about 2-3 games it was quite easy to see who should be the #1 pick. I honestly didn't see it on film what the media was seeing in Gabbert.

same here. what i saw in gabbert was what i was seeing in clausen as a rookie. gabbert hasn't done anything so far to show that i was wrong in that assessment. he's limited in what he can do and he can't handle the pressure that he gets.

with cam, though...i saw a guy who had a big arm that could kill you through the air and on the ground. someone who was a threat to make a big play every single time he touched the ball.

i also saw someone that could hype up his team and the fans and could will and rally his team back form any deficit. it's not been until recently that i saw that part of him as a pro, though. i'm glad he's got it back.

Gabbert has the size and arm for the qb position.

Difference was Gabbert tap danced in the pocket, threw more check downs and wr screens then Newton did and also had a spread offense that he was average against Big 12 secondaries. He was a bigger project as a QB but got a weird fre pass...or "he will be the one from this draft" accolades.

Newton excelled against the SEC and played at a historic level for his first season as a starter in division 1.

Funny to see an article praising this draft class as an all timer with impact performances from Von Miller, Newton, Dalton, AJ Green, Dareus, P Peterson.

      I am too. Frank became completely disinterested in the HC job after the draft.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By CRA · Posted

      down 24 and we get our first possession in the 3rd and what happens?  run TE checkdown TE checkdown run run run RB checkdown TE checkdown run TE checkdown incomplete TE checkdown run now on the 4 yard line- Renfrow TD and POOF!  3rd quarter is over.  That's not a team even trying to get back into the game in reality.  That's just the Panthers taking freebies to make it look respectable in the end and guess what? Bryce gets to pad on 6/7 to his stat line in exchange for making the 3rd quarter disappear.  Not sure the hyper focus on the depth of the corners.  Cardinals were going to simply drop and allow the easy stuff underneath.  Which they did.  Did they play a random short yardage play a little different? Sure.  That doesn't' mean they weren't just letting the Panthers overall eat clock to bring the game to an end.  The Cards strategy was fine on D.  You just don't generally see teams implement it as early as they did but they were up pretty big.  It's the other units for the Cards that fugged the plan up.  again, it's 3 drives,  the ONE in the 3rd quarter and only drive of the entire quarter and the 2 to open the 4th.  Cardinals gave Bryce stuff in exchange for clock  (and the result was slow long drives eating the clock).  The rest of the game? They didn't.  The rest of the game outside of those 3 drives the Cards weren't in garbage allowance mode and Bryce stunk
