Already we are seeing what impact the Smith release has had on the team. Cam has been upping his leadership role all morning long in interviews. Cam sounding a bit more like the man in control of this offense.

I am excited about this season. Things were shaken up a bit ( I won't lie the smith release hurt) but I am excited to see how we respond next season. I believe we are going to have our first back to back winning season. That is what Gettleman is setting us up for. Repeat sucess and not just a run every couple years.

^ yes but Cam is a little bit different then other athletes/politicians/ect.

in other words he has been rising to the occasion since he was in high school.

Of course he's different and I pray it actually happens. Im just thinking back to the thousands and thoysands of times athletes have said this same type of thing in press-conferences and post game interviews.

Cam is unbelievably talented and obviously wants to will this team to victory. Now is his time. With Cam at the helm, a top-3 defense, and Gett's out of cap hell (soon), im in love with the future potential of this team

Very possible.  Sometimes you get two ultra-competitive, alpha male types on the same project, you expect it to go well but they don't completely click quite like you'd hope.

 

I've been waiting for Newton to have his 'takeover' moment when he placed himself firmly in charge.  For Delhomme that occurred on his first drive in the Jacksonville game.  Jake came in, took charge of the huddle and led them down the field for a score.  From that point on, the team would have followed him through the gates of Hell.

 

There have been a couple of moments where I thought that might happen for Cam, but till now I sill haven't really felt it.  And it may indeed be that Steve's presence made that difficult.

 

I guess we'll see what happens this season.

Steve smith was a cheap excuse..

 

You don't become a leader by eliminating the strong egos, they must be convinced.

This is the difference between a leader and a shepherd..

 

A leader will lead both the sheeps and the wolves.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
