Just heard a great interview w/ Cam and Cecil Newton on WFNZ

Just caught the tail end of what sounded like a great interview with Cam and Cecil Newton on the Mac Attack this morning... doubt they have posted the link yet, but when they do it's worth a listen.

Having Cecil be a part of the interview seemed to put Cam at ease and really brought out his personality.

Said he believes in the front offices approach to free agency

Wants Gross back

Has no intention of leaving, loves the QC and doesn't want to leave something unfinished.

Got upset on the sideline because when all the work he put in in preparation didn't pay off he got "ticked off"

Really excited for Shula. Shula has been around him for two years now and knows how he thinks and how he reacts.

That's all I remember off the top of my head.

Listened to the whole thing. It was really good. Cecil was giving Cam a hard time about how his mother and him had not seen Cam's mid term grades and Cam couldn't go on spring break until they did haha

This had me cracking up.

Listening to Cam talk about his goals always makes me feel better about the future of the Panthers. For some reason, I just always believe him when he says he's going to succeed.

The biggest thing i got from that interview was that every time Cecil directly spoke to Cam, Cam always answered with "Yes Sir", "No Sir". Despite the media attacks on the Newton family you can tell that our QB was raised the right way.

For a side note:

Cecil said that for all the Colin Kaepernicks, Lucks, RG3's, and Russel Wilson's of the world it would take 2 of them together to be what Cam is right now. Pretty powerful statement to make with Cam on the line (who did not shy away from the comment).

The truth is powerful.

Great post sir. Cam has been branded as the bad guy of the recent QB crop, but we all know what the kid is about.

Too many want him to loved.

He is a good kid, but he has always been his best when painted as the villian.

Whaaa?!? A father who is biased towards his own son. Shocking!

Just wanted to repeat this part. Can we now stop the stupid ass threads about him leaving for the time being.

This isn't a biased opinion, but Cam's personality fits Charlotte. He's a small city guy. He has that "i'm gonna put this all on myself" kind of mentality. Cam ain't goin' nowhere.

This is what I like about Cam and the future the most. I am sure and understand their family has had its issues with the college thing, laptop, whatever but overall they seam down to earth and to have solid foundation. Overall I think young players who come from that kind of environment have a higher probability to succeed. At least the outside stuff is not an issue its just all about whether or not or what the player is doing on the field, etc.

    • 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.
