Shameless by fox

Commentators ragging on cam about leaving field after fumble with Murphy recovery td. There's plenty to criticize about cam n his demeanor but nothing wrong with jogging off the field. He was disappointed and its not like he can jump in the pile. They need to stop over analyzing him. Go panthers

His behavior was not horrible, but it was also not smart.

This team is fragile right now and needs strong leadership on and off the field. Cam is the guy that can rally this team together. But he needs to try and be the consummate team mate. He needs to be over the top rah rah right now. This team needs it.

The only time I have taken issue with Cam Newton was a game this year where the Panthers were down by like 30, he had played really poor that game, and he got a meaningless TD with I think about 2 or 3 minutes to go and proceded to do his Superman pose.

If he celebrates after a fumble, he's immature.

If he goes to the sideline, he's immature.

Basically, Cam is screwed in the media no matter what.

Their issue is that he either celebrates by himself or goes to the sudeline by himself. He needs to be the ultimate team mate right now. This team needs him and he could be HUGE in bringing this team together.

You saw how the announcers were giving him praise for talking with Smitty the last time they were coming off the field.

I hope he realizes how big a deal a small change in his demeanor is likely to be for this team right now.

i think we were down 20-0 in the beginning of the 2nd half and that td brought it to 20-7. you could tell by his body language that cam was doing it to get the crowd into the game.

Except it was the middle of the third and we were down by 14.

Don't let the facts get in the way though.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
