Will Cam be our next Steve Smith?

Last year, everybody was loving Cam. Fans of teams not in Charlotte liked him, media liked him, he got endorsements. Now everybody is quick to break him down and hate on him. We got so used to him being a media darling that now that everybody hates on him we get offended. My question is, do you think Cam will be like Steve Smith has been for the last decade? A dominant player that we as panthers fans love to death, but the outside NFL world thinks he's a punk and constantly brings up his past and rags on the guy?

I'm over people liking him. I hope he dominates like Smitty has, takes us to a Superbowl, and everyone on the outside can get bent.

As we transition back to a pro offense we will see Cam get back to the level we saw him at last season.

He did great last season when we ran effectively and when we called real plays. It will take some time getting back to that though

I dont think the outside world sees him as a punk, immature sure, but no punk.... Had a Bears fan calling Cam a bitch cause "he doesnt take ownership of the losses & throws his teammates under the bus". Little ironic a Bears fan calling another QB a bitch...

Id like to see Cam & Keuchly follow Smittys footsteps & not wear another jersey for the duration of their careers...God willing, knock on wood, keep pounding.....

No, Cam will never act like Steve Smith. Cam is too far out there with positive vibes in the real world not dominated by illegitimate sports writers and talkers who are searching so hard for a Cam story that they're making stuff up. "Did you see Cam Newton just quietly walk back to the bench?" WTF I also don't see Cam ever losing his temper as Smitty does and that's a good thing.

Besides, Smitty never had Katy Perry hanging all over him.

Makes you wonder, because in 3-4 years when Cam is no longer under contract or is being tagged, other teams with franchise QB's like Mannings, Brady, Brees, Rogers...they will be getting up there in age, if not retired already. In 3-4 years Cam might be the hottest QB in free agency, esp. if he demands a trade.

It could end up costing carolina too much to keep him. Just have to wait and see how this team builds during Cam's contract years.

WHO CARES. You guys need to leave this board and read TMZ or Parez Hilton if you care so strongly about how people view the players.

Your whole shtick has gotten really old. Contrary to what you may have learned in your first year of grad school, it doesn't make you cool to hang around a group of people that all have similar interests and constantly spit your antithetic one-liners.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
