Too Much hero worship. Perhaps Panthers owners, GM, and coaches bought into the Cam Newton hype and forget build a team.

The defense is atrocious. Eli Manning made the D-line and DBs look silly.

The offense prefers to use high school trickery over proven NFL winning techniques. Cam is basically a single-read QB. That may have worked in the SEC, but it will not work in a league where film study never takes a backseat to talent

This team confuses boorish behavior with toughness. Little 89 can yell like a mad man all he wants. At the end of the day he's an aging WR with a Napoleon complex surrounded by a bunch of men who would rather tell you what they are rather than prove it.

This is not a good team. I rate this team slightly above the KC Chiefs.

Cam Newton is far from a single read QB, hilarous to me that people still think of that. I could barely watch the game myself, but even I could tell Newton is still the only highlight of that team with his ability to look off defenders, check down and go through his reads and make difficult throws. 3INTs look horrible when your Defense can't stop a drive and give your offense a chance to have a balanced attack and not continue to play from behind.

You're objective in the same way a constipated turd has a great view of the night sky.

I honestly haven't seen enough panthers games to make a judgement on where Cam is, but the games I have seen (last night and particularly last year's games against the falcons) its been pretty ugly

The defense looks confused. Eli had time to go throw his progressions twice. Don't understand how a team expects to win with Bad DBs and no pass rush. Does not makes sense considering the new HC is suppose to be a defense-first guy.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
