What the fuging fug is this sophomore slump everyone talks about with Cam Newton???!?!? The numbers are easily accessible with a quick search. His second year numbers were every bit as good as his first year, setting aside his rushing touchdown totals and his completion percentage took a small dip. His QB rating was actually higher than his rookie year and the team won one more game than the year prior. When I hear people mention his second year with contempt it pisses all their credibility out the window right off the bat.

Maybe it's because ol Aaron got hurt and hasn't scored a TD for so long that they forgot that he even does it!

I posted in the "season bold predictions" thread that Cam's stats would be similar to the past two seasons but the media would say he is playing better or worse depending on our record.

Well his TD% is slightly up but his INT% is also up from last season. Yet he went from a sophomore slump to MVP candidate in the eyes of the media.

Great Jamaican rum, will people quit pulling out the damn race card every time someone says something bad about Newton.  This is the 80000th time this week.  No one says anything about Kaepernick and his arm kissing thing, nor did anyone give a poo about Lights Out, the Dirty Bird, the Icky Shuffle or any of the other millions of dances people do and have been doing for years.  Calling someone racist because they think Wilson is better than Cam is fuggin idiotic and laughable.

 

The media does not like Cam.  It's not a race thing.  It's a Cam is a god amongst men, hit the damn genetic jackpot, jealousy thing.  He's 6'5", young, rich, athletic, damn good looking, and is now on the verge of being successful at the highest stage.  There will be a ton of googly eyed, adoring fans, as well as an equal number of venom spitting, jealous douches.  Using the race card just makes your argument look weak.

I never saw one post game interview in his first two years where he seemed selfish...not one. He always took the blame for loses and said the right things. The suggestion box comment didnt bother me because the play calling was terrible at the time. They are winning now and all of the sudden he has changed??? GTF outta here

This whole maturity thing ESPN keeps talking about is such fuggin bullshit. They can't acknowledge that Cam is becoming a better passer.

 

Im sorry I don't follow the logic that Cam decides to talk nice in interviews now so somehow that makes him a better QB and makes the team win.Cam is smarter with the football now that's it. We are a more conservative version of 2011 with a defense that can actually be trusted to keep a lead and close games.

 

 

Seriously  if we keep winning I wish Cam do his super man pose in post game interviews and just walk the fug out.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
