Who Is Going To Lead This Locker Room?


SIGCHI222

Recommended Posts

Give me just a moment.

Who is going to lead this locker room and by definition define this upcoming year's team's attitude?

Cam is loud, cocky, funny, confident young lion. Smitty is the brooding, crafty, successful, locker-room quiet guy with the one-liners, that won't shut up with advice. Gross is the good-guy with the aw-shucks attitude but plenty of FU attitude on the field. Beast was once the unchallenged leader on dirt but then went down temporarily. Key is the most no-nonsense, let's get to business guy I have seen in my life. Rivera sets the tone, the players define the tone.

There is a reason teams with great drafts have not lived up to expectations, they never find a common goal/philosophy. Who does this team belong to on defense and offense?

My guess is Cam on O and quite possibly Luke on D.

Just because you get injured doesn't mean you are no longer the leader. It's been Beason's team ever since he was the one to have the balls to call Peppers out on his effort, or lack thereof.

Cam is growing into the leadership role and the wise veterans will make that happen while maintaining their own respected status...it should continue to be all about the team. It would be foolish not to prop Cam up as the leader and he should be more comfortable than ever taking on that role.

There is going to be ambiguity at Beason/Kuechly year two, maybe this year. Beast is my boy but Rivera is setting a new atmosphere, and it it is not accidental. Choose sides now because I do not think this will be amicable.

Not a chance in hell. Beason is the leader, even if he was moved to OLB (which I highly doubt.) There's no drama there.

    • DeAngelo Williams: 1515 yards (2008) Steven Davis: 1444 yards (2003) Christian McCaffrey: 1387 yards (2019) Chuba Hubbard: 1195 yards (2024) Jonathan Stewart: 1133 yards (2009)   DeAngelo Williams 1515 yards in 2008 are most in Panthers history for a season this was when Double Trouble was at it's height. That year he averaged 94 yards a game. Steven Davis missed 2 games 2003 so he comes in at the most yards per game in a season at 103 yards. Mccaffrey averaged 86 yards a game in his 2019 campaign he also recorded 1005 yards receiving making his season statistically the best in Panthers history for a RB, had the Panthers had a better record he could have been a favorite for MVP. Dowdle currently is averaging 81 yards a game despite only starting 3 games thus far. In the games he has started 206, 183, 130 he's averaging 173 yards. In Green Bay he rushed for 130 despite having a 21 yard run wiped out due to illegal procedure penalty that could of saw a 150 yard day.    Top 5 yards per carry. Dowdle 5:6 (2025) Williams: 5.5 (2008) Stewart: 5.1 (2009) Mccaffrey: 4.8 (2019) Hubbard: 4.7 (2024) If Dowdle continues even close to the pace he's on he's poised to break DeAngelo Williams single season Panther rushing record.       
    • The BY9 situation is classic sunk cost fallacy. We traded premium assets to get him. Every few games he flashes the traits that made him appealing (quick reads, touch, composure) but the macro picture doesnt lie. Hes producing at a bottom-tier level across efficiency metrics in yards per attempt, EPA/play, completion percentage over expected, and explosive plays. Instead of objectively reassessing, the organization continues to justify the investment - new coaches, new systems, new excuses - trying to salvage what was invested. Giving him a 5th year is a self inflicted would.  We need to take our lumps and move on
