like if his name was Doug or some shit....it still wouldn't be funny or accurate, but it's at least close. but dawg..."thug" and "cam" don't even come close to sounding alike. gotta give the "scam" newton people some credit...at least Scam and Cam are close.

I have some lady at work who hates him and calls him "fig newton" and I always aske Her how that is an insult, fig newtons are delicious

Fig Newtons are high in fiber and make you have to shit more frequently.

1/11/2016 9:20:48 PM

Nahh seriously though i won't be that upset if the Panthers win Sunday. I'd go for them to win the super bowl. Still not a huge fan of newton. Sure he's having a great season but I remember plenty of times when things were going downhill, instead of being a leader and rallying the team he would sit on the bench with a towel around his head. Plus we still know what he did in college.

Russ Wilson is all class and a true team leader.

fyi this is the guy you're arguing with

1/12/2016 12:17:09 AM

it's totally cool to think rw is better than cam. or it's totally cool to simply like rw better than cam. you don't even have to back up that opinion whatsoever. but don't bullshit about "towel on his head" shit. come on dawg.





hell... cam still wears a towel on his head. it don't mean shit. just say you dislike cam...that's cool, dude. you don't have to attempt to justify it with bullshit

1/12/2016 12:19:52 AM

Cam wears a towel on his head winning or losing. Anyone who uses that as an argument is automatically outed as someone who doesn't actually watch the Panthers.

Why don't they give out season awards out at the end of the season?

so instead you just use baseless, bullshit narratives that aren't accurate to form your opinion instead of just saying "hey guys i don't have a good reason, but but i just don't like cam newton".

Fuck Wilson and his pack of badgers bubbly water quackery, Dude is a douche. Especially with that dopey Mohawk.

Go cam!

1/12/2016 8:08:53 AM

Hard to really hate on Seattle outside of just being a bit jealous of the run they've had the last 2 years.

We're almost the exact same team, the only thing we're missing is a punishing SS and they're missing a do-everything OLB.

Just time to prove that "little brother" is finally done hanging out in the shadows.

Four trips out west next year to LA, Seattle, Denver, and Oakland. Wonder if we'll try to get the league to put a few of those back to back and stay out there for a week instead of flying back and forth across the country.

This is/was a good read. We know who the real MVP is this year.
I remember the Panthers playing with a chip on their shoulder last year that they hadn't earned. Let's hope they come out with a different attitude this time and commit less turnovers.

I think it's to be less of a distraction to the players. If then MVP is named now he'll have an even bigger target on his back, and doing the whole awards ceremony and interviews and such takes time and focus away from the team.

1/13/2016 7:06:56 PM

depending on when it is, I kind want to try to go to the @Seattle game

1/13/2016 9:24:10 PM

Looks like SEA will be at full strength Hopefully, Lynch re-injures his hernia after his first rush...

1/14/2016 8:45:11 AM

meh. Lynch has never really gone off against us. It's always been some fluky horseshoe scramble broken play big pass by RW that gets us.

1/14/2016 8:48:32 AM

I think our non existent pass rush and banged up secondary kinda fucks us especially in the 4th quarter.

We just don't have enough weapons offensively to compete against a juggernaut like the Seahawks I unless cam plays out of his mind.

I like our chances next year. Seattle is really aging and we should peak next season with all our cap space and a young roster

1/14/2016 1:58:55 PM

^^agreed.

I kinda think of it like this: RW had a better team around him in prior years vs. this year. If we gotta go through him to win it all, then I'll take this year happily.

changing subjects: I really hope we can keep Norman somehow, he is consistently entertaining. As a lifelong RW fan, I agree with his points about Cam's nemesis:
http://www.panthers.com/media-vault/videos/Norman_Competition_Brings_Out_The_Best/eaa9038f-9162-4902-91e4-96dd671186e5

1/14/2016 9:08:27 PM

They'd probably franchise Norman if they can't make a deal otherwise

1/14/2016 9:11:32 PM

We're going to cut Charles Johnson and Jared Allen, save 19.5 million against the cap next year, we'll use that money to sign Norman and Short. Then draft a DE and probably try to sign a 1-2 year veteran for cheap. Maybe a Justin Tuck or someone along those lines, just like we did with Tillman.

1/15/2016 7:22:06 AM

Is getting CJ to restructure an option? or a consideration?

1/15/2016 8:51:15 AM

i'd be surprised. He'd really have to step up this week and the next two. I could see Gettlemonster handing him his walking papers.

[Edited on January 15, 2016 at 10:48 AM. Reason : yo]

1/15/2016 10:47:54 AM

Key personnel is young

Older players like Allen, Tillman, and Edwards don't figure to be on the roster next year. Finnegan, Harper and Cotchery figure to either be gone or part time players. Anderson doesn't play. Only real 30+ impact players are Davis, Olsen, Kalil, and Ginn, and all figure to have several productive years left.

1/15/2016 11:09:38 AM

Regardless of your key player age, that statement about an aging Seahawks team was poppycock. See below:

Key Players Under 27:
Russell Wilson
Doug Baldwin
Thomas Rawls
Earl Thomas
Kam Chancellor
Richard Sherman
Bobby Wagner
KJ Wright
Tyler Lockett
Frank Clark

30 or younger:
Michael Bennett
Cliff Avril
Jimmy Graham

We have all these guys locked up for at least 2 more season. Only key loss next year will be Russel Okung (OT) and Bruce Irving (LB). Marshawn Lynch is under team control next year but might retire. If you've seen Thomas Rawls at all this year then you'll know that we feel more than comfortable with Marshawn's successor.

We're not going anywhere anytime soon. Go Hawks!

1/15/2016 12:14:47 PM

Problem is you've got a bunch a guys that want to get paid and you gave all that cash to RW.

Can't keep everybody.

1/15/2016 12:51:46 PM

Same goes for the Panthers and Cam.

The key is to keep the centerpieces, draft well, and add capable veterans to fill in holes. The Seahawks did that pretty well this year.

True to a certain extent. We have all of the players I listed above locked up for at least another 2 seasons. New contracts for most of those players were signed either after the 2013 or 2014 season.

Hopefully we can find some replacements for some of these guys in the draft or FA over the next couple seasons. In Schneider and Carroll we trust!

1/15/2016 2:48:02 PM

Seahawks are like the Bad Boy Pistons and Cam is like MJ. Seahawks had their run. It's over.

1/15/2016 3:01:46 PM

LOL Cam should not be allowed to share any comparison to MJ. Maybe if he can string this years level of performance year-to-year I may place him in a top 5 among active QB's category.

1/15/2016 4:05:02 PM

So you think Kam Chancellor is going to be happy after he swallowed his pride and came back despite the seahawks making him look foolish?

His days are numbered in a seahawk jersey and that secondary is a lot less intimidating when you take him out.

1/15/2016 5:27:49 PM

^^ well he did get his father murdered...

Here is all the motivation Cam needs to smoke Seattle
http://es.pn/1mVgNVa

1/15/2016 8:10:57 PM

I was looking back at last game...
THE GOOD
-- Jimmy Graham was practically SEAs only receiver, with 140yds outside of a Lockette had 40yd TD. Both are gone. No other SEA receiver had more than 15 yards.
-- Same goes for Olsen, who had 131+TD. No Panthers receiver had more than 25, BUT this was before Cam built rapport with Funch, Cotch, and Ginn.
-- Luke was barely out of concussion protocol in week6, he's beastly now. Lynch was beastly then, he's not 100% now regardless of the media spin.
-- Home field is an undeniably huge factor for both of these teams, in particular...

THE BAD
-- BobbyW was scratched for SEA defense, he's back and he's good. Panthers CB situation is now an unknown.
-- Cam threw 2 INTs, SEA had zero turnovers. This does represent his style vs. RWs.
-- RW has a nice rhythm going with Thug Baldwin.
-- Olsen TD was on rare broken coverage, which we can't expect to happen again...

BOTTOMLINE
I expect low scoring, frustratingly stressful game... but in the end, the hawk gets bitten:

1/16/2016 10:58:54 AM
