Little segment of the fantasy eggspurts at NFL.com talking about Cam. Its pretty obvious Fabiano only pays attention to fantasy football and not actual football, whining about how the Panthers stack runningbacks that they don't give the ball to.

Comparing Cam to a guy like Steve Grogan and other QBs with big rushing TD totals is kinda a joke considering none of those quarterbacks were built anything like Cam.

Well from a fantasy aspect.....Carolina didn't give Double Trouble the ball. Newton pretty much makes Carolina RBs only valuable in very large leagues

Ehhh idk, I've never been a huge fan of drafting Stu or Williams as a starter on my fantasy teams, even before Cam. It's always a guessing game. I usually just use them to sub in during bye weeks or poor matchups.

You are correct though, Panther's RBs have very little value in fantasy.

Everything I see is projecting a drop off from newton

Only way I see Newton dropping off is if Carolina gets the bright idea to take his legs away to a noteworthy degree.....if they don't and he is healthy.....he can't be stopped. He might make errors but no one is going to consistantly stop him week to week.

last year, cam had a bout 5 rushing td's that on the previous play would have been passing td's had the progress gone 1 to 3 yards further.

yea I think smith gets tackled at the 1 yard line more than any other receiver in history. He did it twice vs GB in 08 lol.

as long as carolina wins, i could care less if his stats drop off.

True but after a while the media and other types start to circle like flies on poo unless a guy has elite #s, winner or not. Flacco is one example of this, there are many more.

I do care about his #s but only bc of the long-term repercussions to the franchise. If he plays badly and we win every week he's going to get labeled a bust.

I want him to be elite, and us to be elite.

I wish they kept this stat because having Cam and Steve on my fantasy team I felt like I constantly saw "70 yard pass from Cam to Steve Smith, Tackled at the 1." Steve should have had at least 2 or 3 more TD's last year but got brought down short of the endzone on multiple passes.

      Yes, more recently. The way duke fans act you'd think they'd won five of the last ten or something crazy when they've actually won zero if the last ten. They haven't even even played in a championship ship game in the last decade. Carolina has played in three. For all the elite NBA talent that has come through Durham, duke is in a woeful championship drought. Duke fans used to talk all kinds of poo about how Carolina failed to win titles with Stackhouse/Wallace and Carter/Jamison and honestly they had a point. We should've gotten a title or two out of those teams. But man, duke's current run of elite talent with no titles puts that to shame.

      A Zietlow (observer) 3 centers to consider for draft

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      In response to mailbag questions about drafting a center from Observer, Zietlow gives this infO  From Alex The Panthers, after all, aren’t going to be as stacked with interior offensive linemen who can be converted into centers as they were last year. Cade Mays is already gone to Detroit. Austin Corbett moved on to Buffalo. Brady Christensen might still come back, but his future is murky too … and he ruptured his Achilles five months ago.   Keylan Rutledge. The guard out of Georgia Tech has received high marks in the pre-draft process, and if he drops to the Panthers at No. 51 somehow, they should take him. He worked at guard and center during the 2026 Senior Bowl.   Jake Slaughter. The 6-foot-5, 303-pound center out of Florida really impressed at the NFL Scouting Combine in February, notably with a 5.1-second 40-yard dash time. He’s a center by trade, and coach Dave Canales likes athletic centers who can get to the second level of the defense. Slaughter is projected to be a third- or fourth-round pick.   Billy Schrauth. Another draft, another Notre Dame draft pick?At least, it’s possible with Schrauth, the 6-foot-5, 310-pound interior offensive lineman and team captain. He spent most of his college career at guard, but reports indicate a transition to center would be easy for him. He’s projected to be a Day 3 pick.
