Sports radio on Thursday afternoon said that the NFL had changed the Denver and Raiders games to home games for us next year.

I can't find any mention of this on the internet.

That would be a perfect primetime game.

Search is broken so I don't see if this was addressed already

Watching the train wreck that The Golden Calf of Bristol has become, and watching the disaster that Brantley has been, I can't see how Cam was backing up either of these dudes.

Either that Blinn College trip was the best thing that ever happened to Cam's development, or there was some serious favoritism at UF.

If The Golden Calf of Bristol doesn't start that game th storyline can easily be Fox coming back to Carolina...although he still lives in Glen Eagles :)

I don't think many people care about a former coach who never won a super bowl coming back to Carolina. That isn't of national interest. It's all about the players.

It just happened that The Golden Calf of Bristol was there a year ahead of him. He was a great competitor and had great talent around him that made him look better than he was. He was the perfect fit. He was glue that kept the talents of Harvin, Ingram, Dunlap, Spikes, Cunningham, Jenkins, Haden etc. together.

While at UF, you saw glimpses of Cam but not enough to get the nod over The Golden Calf of Bristol. Newton was just smart and left to get playing time. It had noting to do with favoritism or talent. Cam would have succeeded at UF just couldn't get around The Golden Calf of Bristol. He very well could have beat out Brantley.

Uh, The Golden Calf of Bristol was one of the greatest college players of all time. It was hardly a train wreck at Florida.

Can't wait to see Cam vs Quinn on primetime

that would not get primetime and if that's the QB matchup it MUST be flexed. i personally think Clausen is better than Quinn!!!

it wouldnt be much of a storyline though because Fox isnt the media guy that The Golden Calf of Bristol and Newton are, if it's The Golden Calf of Bristol and Newton, it's a matchup of two dual threat QBs who were at Florida.

FIRST off, i dont think The Golden Calf of Bristol is the train wreck, ALOT of The Golden Calf of Bristol's issues is helped by Fox's conservative approach, but how did Cam backup The Golden Calf of Bristol and Brantley you ask!!! simple (for The Golden Calf of Bristol). At Florida, The Golden Calf of Bristol started one full season and was a highly used backup for one, experience is why he started over Cam, plus why fix something if it isnt broken??? you dont, so The Golden Calf of Bristol started!! As for Brantley, i cant answer that one, i personally think Brantley was stupid going there, the spread is NOT his style of offense.

It just happened that The Golden Calf of Bristol was there a year ahead of him. He was a great competitor and had great talent around him that made him look better than he was.

Cam would have succeeded at UF just couldn't get around The Golden Calf of Bristol. He very well could have beat out Brantley.

yep and that's one reason why i say not to quit on The Golden Calf of Bristol if i were Denver, i think if he has a WR or two that can catch consistantly, that he could improve and i think LaMichael James would be HUGE for The Golden Calf of Bristol. and you are ight, that's why Cam backed up The Golden Calf of Bristol, i fully believe that had he stayed, that he would've beat out Brantley in his senior year, taken the starting job and won a Heisman and National title, but he didnt want to wait and i agree with that move, it was a wise move, he wanted to play, nothing wrong with that.

      He’s responsible for two drafts classes. The first was one of the worst drafts I’ve ever seem. The second one is showing a ton of promise. I’m somewhere between skeptical and hopeful on Morgan.

      I'm a big fan of Dan. His ability to find productive players deep in the draft will pay off.  I'm going to give him 1.5 draft classes right now, because I do think it's a little unfair to evaluate his first year when he got the job in January, especially when we went into that draft not having a first round pick.  XL and Brooks are still big time TBD players. Both still have incredibly high ceilings, but both have also given us legitimate reasons to have a lot of pause. Trevin Wallace, Chau Smith Wade and Jatavion Sanders have IMO outplayed their draft position early in their careers. That's a great thing. He also got Coker and Demani Richardson as UDFAs that year. Given the situation we were in, I really don't mind the gamble on the high ceiling guys. Still may work out, still may not, but if you made a checklist of ideal situation for an NFL GM to walk into, ours was near the bottom of that list.  Every single 2025 pick is contributing in some way. That typically doesn't happen. I am absolutely blown away by this draft class 6 games in. Even the best GM's miss on occasion, and we can't expect Dan to be 100% on drafts moving forward. Ryan Fitzgerald was an excellent find as well.  Comparing our last two drafts to the previous few is pretty shocking. Can you imagine this season without our Rookies? It would not be good. Additionally, this roster only has 6 players with more than 6 years of experience, and two of those are specialist.  The next step is equally important, and still very much TBD. We have to avoid Cap Chaos.
