this. i don't think schedule-makers will be able to resist cam newton versus colin kaepernik any more than they could resist giving us MNF versus vick. hopefully this time it'll be a little more relevant

i think they can.

he's not the shiny new toy. losing schedule and influx of good QBs on teams without bad coaching and bad teams built by bad GMs makes cam essentially irrelevant.

they just won't care this year. the focus is on rg3, luck, wilson, and kaepernick. cam is an afterthought until we can actually win games.

Agreed 100%. Outside of Carolina, Cam isn't must see television. The schedule makers will favor more towards Griffin, Luck, Wilson, and Kaepernick before they do Cam. Not to mention, those four teams went to the playoffs last year, while the Cam led panthers started 2-8.

We'll get a Thursday Nighter (league mandated) and possibly a Monday night game (on the road).

I don't see any way we get a Sunday Nighter. Those are reserved for the big boys (Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Denver, Washington, Dallas, New York, Philly, New England, Green Bay, San Fran, Chicago)........with the occasional bone thrown to one of the NFC West teams, the falcons, the saints, or Houston.

I'd say the panthers have as likely a shot to end up on Sunday Night Football as the following teams do: Arizona, St. Louis, Jacksonville, Buffalo, Miami, Tampa Bay, Oakland, Cleveland, and Tennessee).

I have to disagree. I'm not saying we are going to or deserve to get serious primetime games but this logic is rather flawed. We may have had losing records the last two years but we're on the cusp and the NFL knows this.

Kaepernick/Luck/Griffin/Wilson are entering their sophomore years. People think those guys can practically walk on water now after one season as a rookie, but the hype can change very quickly as we know all too well here. Time will tell.

gonna try and go to the pats game. hopefully it's early in the season.

Better buy your tickets early. Like Denver, NYG, and Dallas last year, BofA will be 60-65% Pats fans that game and the tix will go fast.

i don't think they know anything. we haven't proved anything. they may think that we are on the cusp of having a winning season, but greatness? nah....we've been there before and done nothing but disappoint. i think they've learned their lesson about us. until we actually win...there's nothing to see here.

it's a fickle industry and there's enough going on for the league to not pay attention to this team, with or without cam. attention and prime time games will only come when we actually prove something. until we do the only hope we have for primetime games is riding on some other teams coattails.

Not really. I have season tix so I'm not too familiar. I'd check Panthers.com the day they go on sale.

      The issue is the position Bryce plays. Finding a good/great quarterback isn't easy. Plus, it sometimes takes years for these guys to actually become good/great. What you have to look for is progress instead of regression. Bryce has shown that. Can he put it all together? We don't know yet. But that's why you place a smaller bet with the 5th year option, and wait to see. You could be wrong and lose your 30 mil bet, but you didn't hitch your wagon long-term and lose much more.

      Absolutely not. That’s too much for replacement level player. Bryce may be that. Or he may turn into something more. If you can’t see the flashes, you’re willfully blind. There’s more bad than good right now, but there’s less bad than there was earlier in his career. He’s only 24 and he’s showing signs of improvement. He may never become consistent enough to justify a long term contract, but he’s shown enough to roll the dice on what effectively will turn into a 2 year, $30MM contract for the next two years to see if he can earn something longer.    Sure, in his one season starting, Howell managed to throw for 3,946 yards and toss 21 TDs, but it took throwing the ball an astounding 612 times. He also threw 21 INTs (for a particularly egregious 3.4 INT%). For all the talk of him being a deep ball thrower, he still only averaged 6.4 YPA, with an average air yards of 5.6 yards per attempt. And for all the excuses of Washington’s line giving him no protection (65 sacks taken that year), he was only pressured on 22.7% of his dropbacks, which is a few percentage points lower than what Bryce has had to deal with each year (24.2, 26.7, and 24.0%).    These are all numbers that are at best roughly equivalent to Bryce’s production the past two years. It’s wild to me people can claim so confidently that he’s a better QB.
