With all this talk about Cam's leadership...

...have people not been paying attention?

Did you not see Cam going around to each player before the 1st possession slapping their hands and getting them pumped up?

Did you not see Cam standing on the sideline watching the defense try to hold back Seattle?

Did you see any indication that Cam went into a funk in the huddle at any point in the game?

Did you watch his postgame presser and see how well he handled himself?

Cam has listened to the criticism and has been working hard at improving in this aspect of his game. Yes, he had a bad game, but please recognize that he is handling himself much better as a leader. Question his passes, question his ability to read defenses, but it's time to stop with the comments about him pouting and not paying attention on the sideline.

Cam is a lightning rod for better or worse. We wanted a national superstar and now we have one. The media will feast when he plays well and kill him when he plays bad. ESPN and NFL network are entertainment stations rather than news outlets.

My comments were directed at Huddle members. There is no hope for ESPN and other media outlets. After all, Cam sells, good or bad doesn't matter.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By Panthero · Posted

      Given that the immediate impact we need at edge. We almost certainly address that in Free agency, not in the draft. Same with Linebacker, unless Styles or Allen is still there at 19. I think the same for OT.  What is the position that we could draft in the 1st round and get immediate help in the first is how im approaching their decision-making  I know ill get dragged for this, but im thinking they go DT in the first. A guy that can play right away and be a complement to D.Brown to wreak havoc at the LOS.   So unless a top tier LB is there, I think DT will be the move.

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      I think people forget that by his last season Steve Smith had the ass and he played like it - and for no really good reason other than that other stars were emerging on the team and he didn't want to share the spot light.  He was more of a locker room distraction than he was worth. He went on to have great performances with the Ravens' but G-man made the right move allowing him to move on from here.  I personally think it was addition by subtraction and we don't have a super bowl run with Smith on the roster. Steve Smith remains a narcissist who I've never seen internalize his own culpability when it comes to his relationships with others - it's always somebody else's fault as to why he was forced to act like an asshole. This video is a product ad.  I'm cringed that either of these two Panther greats are party to it.

      I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.
