Im still a little worried with how he phrased this: "..What's the franchise? $13-somethin?.. They didnt believe me either now they paying $13.1"

 

he's just having fun man, and i love it.  if you try to understand the kraken, you will fail.

Starting to think the Kraken character exists in part to keep him from getting a reputation as a book-smart kind of guy. "Education is important." Wow. Never thought I'd hear that from the same guy who dominates cereal with no spoon.

His comment about the franchise and them having to pay isn't about the Panthers per se.  He's saying that people doubted him.  He proved them (the NFL, the Media) that they were wrong.  All those teams that passed on him.  The media saying he wasn't a franchise player.  Now, he's being tagged which proves he's elite.  He won.  He's officially made it.  Look, Mom, I did it.  That's all he's saying.

 

I was impressed with his interview.  There's a lot more intelligence there then the insanity of the Kracken.  I really liked the "Cam is better than sliced bread" and the comment about he was glad he was drafted late.  If he'd had gotten all the money right away he'd have blown it all and maybe not be the person he became.  Very impressed.  Seems like a guy with the ability and desire to keep getting better. 

 

A notch below Peppers as far as being a pure athlete but 10x the desire.  Hope we get a long deal done. 

 

The future is Cam, Luck, the Kracken and Star.  A stud LT and a #1 WR for the future and you've got the center of the Panthers for the next 6-7 years.

    • There's a flip side to that, if he has 2 or 3 more great games and we make the playoffs, there's going to a tsunami of momentum to extend him going into next year. If he remains inconsistent, we will all be arguing all off season long. I think he's done enough to where he's going to at the very least, be the starter in 2026. Nothing is going to change that with 7 wins on the board at this point, even if we flame out and lose the remainder of them. We haven't won 7 games  If we win 8 games, that would be our highest win total since the 2017 season. That's very significant. 
    • GWD is the critical stat for an NFL QB. What you need for perspective is GWD %.  This is how many opportunities he converts. 2023 was 12.5%. 2024 was 33.3%. 2025 is 50%. Career is 28.9%. A consistent playoff winning QB is in the 30% range. A championship caliber QB is in the 40% range. He has been tracking well even with his major limitations under the development of Canales. This is the only reason he is holding on, but he is at the same level of a Derek Carr with the Raiders. Carr was 32.4% GWD in his first 3 seasons with 12 GWD in 37 opportunities. This gives you perspective on why he is frustrating to evaluate. Carr did what for the Raiders? 2 winning seasons in 9 seasons with 4 different HCs/OCs. This is what we want as Panthers fans? A decade of average with potential and many moments of hope? At least he'll win a QB skill competition like Carr, right?
