Grantland <3s Cam and the Panthers

So many great articles/notes coming out of Grantland on our Panthers the last month or so.  Here's another nice blurb on Cam (opening quoted, read the rest at the link):

 

It was only 13 months ago that the Panthers were struggling and sportswriters were writing things like this: "Instead of acting like an NFL quarterback, Newton is acting like a child. … I think back on quarterbacks through Carolina’s history. Steve Beuerlein and Rodney Peete were as even-keel as they come. Jake Delhomme had a visible competitive edge about him, but never freaked out when things didn’t go well. In fact, Delhomme was at his best when things got tight. That’s part of being an NFL quarterback."
 
Peete, Beuerlein, Delhomme … Try taking some notes from the legends, Cam.

It's a different piece, folks. Great stuff, they sum it up succinctly:

 

However you feel about Newton and the Panthers and where they're going, we're a long way off from reporters asking about his body language.

The most important Cam Newton Life Lesson? Show up, show out, and the bullshit takes care of itself. Cammy Cam juice for everyone.

That was a good write-up I can guarantee if we win or lose these next two games we are going to be talked about a lot on both ESPN and NFL Network. Hopefully it will be for winning, but if I had my choice I would like for them to keeping talking about other team but us. I want the team to keep that fire in there stomach of feeling like they haven't made it yet.

    • Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds. 
    • Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
