Carolina Panthers are a One Man Show

Look at this forum.

10 threads strictly about Cam on the 1st page of this forum.

Very little discussion about Hardy, CJ, Keek, and the "pro bowl" defense after that was the buzz last week

Very little if any discussion about #89

Very little if any discussion about our RBs double trouble

Very little if any discussion about the other phases of our game.

Thank you Cam-haters, and Panther fans. The transformation is complete. This is finally Cam's team, Cam's franchise. And when you think Panthers you no longer think JR, you think Cam. Once we get a real GM, a real line that belongs to Cam, and a defense and fans that doesnt think "solid"=great, we're well on our way.

When it wasn't Cam it was Clausen. When it wasn't Clausen it was Moore. When it wasn't Moore it was Delhomme.

Quarterbacks are the focal point of the team and it's just natural for them to receive the majority of attention, especially when things are going wrong.

I don't know if KT is obtuse or just acts like it to drum up attention on here. Fans of every franchise in the NFL and probably every college team for that matter focus an inordinate amount of time on the QB. QB gets too much credit for wins and too much criticism for losses. Anyone over age 6 who's ever watched a football team knows this - well except KT. This phenomenon is only increased by the fact that Cam was the #1 overall pick in the draft.

Zod could rename this forum Cameron Jerrell and nobody would bat an eye. Even to Panther Nation other guys just arent worth talking about. Im not surprised he and Smitty are the only two guys on our team opposing fans and media know.

The QB has always been the majority of talk in this forum.

Why are you just discovering this now?

Nobody else on the team is worth discussing. They are forgettable.

    • You might want to look at that table again.  Round 2 has the least QB's taken in that time period. What is more interesting is how the "darts at a dart board" happens in the 6th and 7th round. Those are the 2nd and 3rd most frequently drafted rounds for NFL QB's.  If you are strictly using my criteria for "success" it does lend credence to that not being an awful strategy. At 17-21% chance to get a bare minimum of 30+ starts OR a 5+ year career. That's pretty good for a very throwaway pick. I don't know how that would compare to other positions. I would maybe have to adapt what I have done to something like PFR's Career AV to set a line that accomplished roughly the same result as I have from the spreadsheet. If I can get to a number value, applying this to each position wouldn't be that hard. Not sure how "fair" that is without making some adjustment based on averages for each position. I would have to do that as well, I think. A positional "handicap" of sorts.
    • While I agree he should have the opportunity to select his own qb, following that does he then get the standard 3 years? New regimes mean new qbs. No coach should tie his future to someone they didn't actually pick. For whatever reason, Canales has done just that. Whether it is being strong armed by Tepper, or overwhelming hubris that he could be successful with Young, it sure seems he has now made his bed.
    • One of the benefits of doing a few stints as a coordinator is working under different head coaches and observing how they do things.  Canales has worked under Pete Caroll and then he was an OC for 1 season. Honestly I think he needs more time in the oven and he might be good at his next HC gig.  I'm not sure he's ready for this job and I don't know that he will ever be. But hey I hope I'm wrong.
