Anyone catch Cam's presser today? If not its worth a watch. Definitely starting to see the maturity from this guy. Opened the presser with a statement about today's practice. Good to see him embracing his role as a leader of this team.

recap?

 

--Started with a statement before any questions. Said this team is practicing with great intensity. The leaders are leading, they know they are 0-2 and they want the fans to still be in it. That they haven't given up. Understands the circumstances of the loss and there is no reason to dwell on it. Just keep working hard.

 

--Wants to go into the bye week with a boost of morale.

 

--Stupid reporter asks if he has to prove himself as a leader; Cam says he doesn't have to prove anything to them. (said i don't mean to be disrespectful but there are bigger "fish in the sea.") anything that happens in this room is irrelevant all that matters is on the field.

 

-- Wants to do everything he can to make sure this team is 1-2 by the bye week. Stressed having a resilient attitude.

 

--Thinks he is a better qb now than he was last season, but the wins need happen.

 

--Said he went through some phases his first two years of learning to be a leader.

 

--Reporter asked about smitty's quote. Said he and smitty talk everyday, rolled the "pressing" thing off his back.

 

--Cam is working on consistency in practice. So there will be less talk about him pressing.  Worked on throwing balls inside a trashcan in practice. Praised Dorsey.

 

--Reporter mentioned the 4th and 1. Didn't throw anybody under the bus. Said he trusts coach Rivera to make the right call. Said he was ready to get the yard.

 

--Cam was keeping it light, cracking jokes but was also very mature, straight-forward and serious about turning this team around

Cam would have laid his life on the line for that yard to get the first down and win that game against the bills. I don't know why rivera can't have any balls to actually to do it. I'm still so fuging pissed of at that. Two years in a row rivera decides to rely on a shaky defense to win a game and twice it fails.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Panthers sign OT Rasheed Walker Terms: One year, up to $10 million Grade: A The price of this deal might be the most shocking of free agency thus far. Walker was widely considered the best free agent tackle this year and was expected to receive a large contract. But his market developed very slowly, so he has signed a one-year deal with a maximum value of $10 million -- meaning the base value is below that -- per NFL Network. For context, my free agency contract model projected a deal averaging $21.8 million for Walker. Instead, it's a short-term commitment for less than half that. And the Panthers are the beneficiaries. Carolina entered this offseason with a possible need at left tackle after Ikem Ekwonu suffered a patellar tendon rupture in the playoffs that put his 2026 season in question. It's also the last year of his contract. The Panthers signed Stone Forsythe as an insurance plan already in free agency, but once Walker's market fell it seemed like they felt adding him was well worth it, too. Our win rate metrics consider Walker to be a solid player. Last season in Green Bay, he was in the 85th percentile among tackles in pass block win rate, though only 22nd percentile in run block win rate. He was in the 69th percentile and 48th percentile in those two metrics in 2024, respectively. Given that Dan Moore Jr. received $20.5 million per year from the Titans last year most -- myself included -- thought Walker would walk away with more than that. Perhaps the struggles of Moore (who wasn't great last season) contributed to Walker's market being cooler than expected, a theory that ESPN's Jeremy Fowler suggested. Walker was also arrested two months ago at LaGuardia Airport in New York for allegedly trying to check-in with a firearm that he had a license for in Wisconsin but not New York. Either way, teams felt differently about Walker than most on the outside thought. But he's a heck of an add for the Panthers at this price. While his run-game contributions might be far from perfect, a weak pass protector at tackle can sink a passing game. Even if this is only a one-year arrangement, Walker should be able to help keep Bryce Young upright

      Fantastic signing. If he is good, this will make next offseason really interesting. I would imagine that Morgan would try to extend Walker and convince Ikey to move to the right side to replace Moton. This also opens up options at 19 at lot instead of forcing a tackle. I'm not a fan, but I'm definitely more open to Morgen drafting Sadiq now, but there is also Peter Woods, and even some like Dillon Thieneman is now in the mix. Hell, I'm still for another off ball LB.

      sure, but Panthers are theoretically in their win now window. Their first rounder needs to be a day one starter
