I usually wake up and watch Boomer and Cartons live simulcast of their radio show every morning and who comes in and sits down with them at the Super Bowl in Indy? Big #1. Great interview, Cam wasen't political he was very real as you can gain a sense of comfort with Carton who is hilarious and Boomer of course being a former professional athlete. Some tidbits i can recall:

-Carton asked Cam if he was nervous during his first game and when did it hit him that he was an NFL QB, to which Cam responded that he was alittle nervous yet calm, and that when they were standing there during teh national anthem he looked around and was like " Im an NFL player, this is real"

-Carton Talked about Smitty being very supportive from the beginning in regards to Cam, and if Smitty tested him when they first talked/met cause he comes off as a hard personality. Cam said Smitty on the phone sounded like he was this 7 foot beast, but laughed that when they met he was very much 5'9. Said the guy is absolutely incredible and wants the ball on every play and makes it known. Said Smitty had 3 rules:

One on One " Im wide open ", Two-On One " I'm open ", Three-On One, " Just throw it up im Steve Smith man!" i was laughing when Cam was running through this part..

-Cam said the speed of the NFL is not a problem to him, its just getting used to the athleticism that some of the corners and safeties have. He said in college he could throw a questionable ball and the CB would most likely drop it, in the NFL they are almost WR's back there. He singled out Charles Woodson saying that Charles made him realize just how good these guys are, and how careful he has to be with the football. He went on to say that his number one goal for himself is to not turn the ball over as much, and the number one goal for the Panthers is to finish games. Said the Arizona and Packers games we were up big and we have to finish those games out.

-They finished with Carton asking him how it was to spend a day with Tom Brady shooting the under armor commercial, Cam said it was incredible and they talked a lot about being a winner. Cam said he tailors his game around Tom Brady and watches film on him. They laughed at how Boomer saw Cam at a youth camp thing when Cam was in 9th grade. They were both throwing the ball around and Cam told Boomer " Your pretty good man" to which Boomer replied, " Yea i played some ball in my day lol" Cam had no idea who he was at the time...

All around very funny interview, Cam was great and it was fun waking up in the NY tri-state area and seeing my great Panthers QB on TV. Great exposure for Cam as it is the #1 morning show in NYC and broadcast on the MSG ( Madison Square Garden ) network.

At the Very Very end when they said goodbye to Cam, Boomer says " Remember that smile Craig, cause that's the future face of the NFL for years to come" Cam put his hands together in a prayer like motion and just smiled with his eyes closed..

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Just because all draft picks are a gamble doesn't mean you don't have a better chance at hitting on a better player the higher you're drafting. It would literally be like someone saying, I'll give you 1 or 2 free spins on a slot machine, and you say you'll take the 1 because you're not likely to win anything anyways with 1 or 2, so why bother? The Cowboys desperately wanted T-Mac, but because they were 4 picks behind us, they weren't able to get him.  If you told Cowboys fans that had they lost 2 more games last year in a lost season, that it would get them the player they wanted so badly, would they in retrospect go back and lose those games to get their guy? 95% of them would take that trade off in a heartbeat, and the others who wouldn't are the fans who would rather enjoy an extra win or two in a poo season to then set themselves up to be better for the next decade. I also think the fans who argue against this thinking, get too caught up in the "well that means you're going to be rooting against us late in the season even if we still have a shot at the playoffs." Which isn't true, it's saying if you're telling me right now we'd make the playoffs but lose in the first round, that I'd rather end up 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss the playoffs because in our opinion, the benefits that come along with that outweigh the benefit of the players getting 1 game of playoff experience.

      In relation to tanking. I think you can count on one hand the number of people here who actually want us to lose football games. When accounting for it across the fanbase it amounts to maybe 2% of the entire Panthers fanbase. But you engage with some internet trolls and think haters are coming out of the woodwork and hey look at that it's all a conspiracy that leads to Bryce Young haters. Do you hear yourself sir? If it sounds ridiculous that's because it is. I mean at this point do you see Bryce haters in your dreams? As far as the culture of this franchise goes we seem to be doing better in that department via what we are building right now and with the people we have in place. But we also shouldn't just make assumptions just yet either. The rubber still needs to meet the road. And going back to previous seasons I think we can acknowledge although tanking obviously isn't a thing there were some times where we thought our culture was improving but really it wasn't. Yes I'm looking directly at some of those wins under Wilks. If the culture had truly changed we would not have lost to the Steelers who have been mediocre for years at home the way we did and they were starting Mitch Trubisky ffs. We did not change our culture for the better and we won games that ultimately meant nothing. It was just a brief mirage. We've done this for years now. The harsh truth of the matter is the Panthers have not had a winning season or been to the playoffs in going on 8 years but in those years they've been trying to convince themselves they aren't poo but in the process all they've done throughout most of that time period is squander better draft position and we were still the worst team in the league for our troubles. At the end of the day we should be able to just be adults and reconcile with that. And no that isn't being "pro tank" or any other boogeyman term it's simply recognizing reality.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      He's an asset in a game manager role. But as soon as you have to ask him to go out there and try to make plays and not just take what the defense is giving him... well, Darnolding happens.
