How quickly will our bandwagon fill up?

If we go 3-1 during the TB,ATL,SFO, and NE stretch we will be sitting pretty for the playoffs.  That stretch will determine our playoff future.

 

Honestly, I'd be very happy going 2-2 in that stretch. Facing 3 of the league's top 5 or so teams heading into the season will be extremely tough to come out with only one loss.

When we do start winning, prepare for a complete 180 of peoples perception of Cam.

It wont take long to have loads of banwagon fans declare fandom of this team with that dude as our QB

This. 100%

 

It wont be so much the 'Panthers' bandwagon that fills up, it will be Cams. You are going to see more Cam jerseys and t shirts than you ever thought would be possible. You will hear guys arguing in sports bars over the team yet the only players name you hear will be Cam Newton. ESPN will talk about how incredible of a talent he is. It will be a seismic shift.

 

Prepare people, prepare.

    • It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.   
    • We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.
    • I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
