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.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
