I was watching (Jim) Rome and one of the analysis was saying a lot players including

some Panthers don't like Cam. I'm clueless have say yall read anything regarding this? Did something happen at the Pro Bowl? I remember in the Giant game Cam towel was on the ground and one of the giant players said something to the effect " number 1 come get your towel " and then threw it at him and that was only the third game of the season. Everything was all good last year and I realize that was last year but now everybody acting like wha Rg3 is doing now Cam didn't do last year. In spite of what critics are saying Cam is not having that bad of a year so fans vote for him for the pro bowl. http://www.nfl.com/probowl/ballot?campaign=PbBallot_thank_button

These men are professionals that are paid exceedingly well for the job they do. They don't have to like one another.

That said since Zod is likely the only one on this board who spends any significant time around the team Ill believe his take before I give two shits about some rumor.

I don't know whether other players like him or not. But, if you think Cam's play warrants selection to the Pro Bowl you are dillusional.

It is a storyline that is getting alittle more play. I think this started in the Pro Bowl last year where Cam was being a rookie and having fun with the meaningless game. The AFC turned up the heat in the 2nd half and won the game (I think - not even sure its the stupid pro bowl afterall). After the game I read some comments somewhere about him maybe not taking it seriously but not sure any of the players do really. FF to this year and you have the Smitty deal. On the rado yesterday there was a guy called in stoking this up again about players not liking him (his opinino based on pregame interaction). Who knows? Like you guys said other teams don't have to like him. Probably something to keep an eye on regarding his teammates but as far as I know all of his teammates have come out in support of him. Watch the media long enough and you will see everyside of every argument. If no controversey they will produce it up. The media is a production...watch less of it and you will be happier as a result.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      I mean, but there is ample evidence that exists currently in the NFL and historically that if you have a talented or moderately talented team then one of the biggest upgrades you can make is at QB. It yields the biggest returns. I don't think even Prime Greg Olsen is going to make Bryce suddenly look like a stud QB. We have invested immense amounts of money on the OL and tremendous amounts of draft resources on WR's. And have added an additional extremely capable RB. At some point, the main problem is Bryce. We are at that point.  That being said, we don't need to go "Full Bryce" again and sell the farm to upgrade at QB. Be intelligent and patient. Try to get better by whatever means become available WHILE continuing to make the roster better. At the bare minimum, you slowly build an upper half of the NFL talented roster that is at least a potential draw for some free agent QB's. IMO, Bryce is clearly not the answer. I don't think anyone in our organization thinks that way but if they do, it's not the end of the world. Throw as many reasonable darts as you can through free agency and the draft until either you get a bullseye or a top 10-15 option becomes available in free agency.

      I think the best way to make Bryce better is to make everyone around him better.  This is why I advocate for a stud (top 5, eventually) TE.  I mean, when we have been a good franchise, we have had a stud TE (Walls, Olsen) and ILB (Beason, Mills, Morgan, Luke, etc) so it is in our DNA.  Expect us to address these areas this year.  (An Olsen or Walls would help Bryce a lot).  In terms of productivity, I think we are going to work with XL for one more season and ride the TMac / Coker momentum.  Where else could we find a position to improve productivity?  TE.  A position that caters to Bryce's style and shortcomings, a stud TE gives him another weapon he has not had. The Panthers run a lot of 2-TE sets (I have seen 3) and they have a blocker (Tremble) who is great in the run game, a balanced TE (Evans), and Sanders is supposed to be the pass-catching TE. He had 340 yards last season and he has about 170 this year.  If we are going to play around with XL for another season, it only makes up to add to Bryce's weapons in a way that does not put XL on the bench, basically ending his development. It makes sense to bring in a pass-catching dawg.  The way the offense is designed, I see carrying 4, but its not ideal. Having said that, I mentioned Oregon's Sadiq in another thread, but I am starting to warm up to Vanderbilt's Stowers and, in the Olsen/Walls mold, I kinda like Endries from Texas.  Of course, Stowers is probably going in round 2 and Endries in 3 or later. I still say, 5 months before the draft, that I would not be surprised if we take a TE very early.
