To close out PTI, Cam Newton was a topic of discussion with the prompt being: "Cam had 163 yards of total offense yesterday, A CAREER LOW. Should we be concerned?"

Kornheiser busted out laughing and kneads out a "yeah. I would say so. We should definitely be concerned," between guffaws. Wilbon follows suit and agrees. End of segment.

Smh...

I kept thinking yesterday, "Man, I know Cam is the media's black sheep of the young QB posse, but I really hope they don't turn him into Josh Freeman."

Yeah, that's why I don't watch anything on ESPN beyond the highlights on SC... especially shows like PTI where the talking heads don't know anything beyond the NFC east and never hesitate to form opinions of the performance of players in games they didn't actually watch (this is a CLASSIC example).

I honestly think I want Cam to succeed more than the panthers at this point. I know they go hand in hand but Cam's a good kid who does things in the community and all this crap and just gets constantly poo'd on. I hope WHEN he wins a SuperBowl he simply gives the media the finger as he holds the trophy... He won't though because he's good poo but Jesus. RG3 is texting other girls on his wedding day and everyone still loves him.

Cam played a great game yesterday, and put Carolina in position to win. He took care of the ball and made some nice throws. Cam has said all off season he needs to trust his teammates and take care of the ball. He did exactly that yesterday and unfortunately his teammates let him down.

K I'm done venting now

Your absolutely right. After we lost yesterday I immediately felt bad for Cam they always find a way to blame him.

Only thing ESPN is good for is the Sportcenter Top 10 and the Not Top 10.

 

They're pretty clueless otherwise, but then again, the general public is, too, and that's who ESPN, a national broadcast, caters to.  I'll forever be in disbelief at the Huddle's continuing shock at how little they know and have to say about our team.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
