Dear Forgotten Panther Fans

Dear Forgotten Panther Fans,

I know that many of you stopped posting after Cam was drafted. Some of you were hurt, because you felt Cam had issues.

Well the season is over, he hasn't been involved in any scandals, he was cleared of any charges for his time at Auburn, he broke several nfl, team, and rookie records, made the Pro-bowl, and he generally seems like a nice kid.

Now if you didn't like him because he was black, I know that is something you can never get over; and something he can't fix for you.:rolleyes5:

However, if you had other reasons, I am giving you a one time :smash: amnesty to come back and celebrate the bright future with the rest of us.

Reinvent yourself and become an enlightened contributor to the forum. I'm sure some of you have some great football knowledge to contribute.

Chris (New Panther Fan)

Thank God there's an anonymous internet entity willing to provide amnesty to other people for having an opinion.

People who left the team entirely because of a draft pick weren't fans to begin with and people who just had reservations about the pick (clue: lots of people) were justified.

This thread is pointless.

Where did this idea of people who stopped being fans because of Cam Newton being drafted or the fact that his is black come from?

Have we resorted to imagining things to whine about?

There was tremendous accusations/arguments/bull poo over Cam and racism last year. Literally multiple threads worth it was horrible.

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
