Cam Newton narrative "turnt" upside down: Latest in the "Suck it Nawrocki" series

Excerpts...

The first pick of the 2011 NFL draft wants to be a big part of the Charlotte community long-term just as badly as he wants to be a long-term part of the Panthers. That's why he didn't want to talk about the team officially exercising the fifth-year option on his contract on the same day he was promoting his school pride program.

He considers his commitment to being at Carolina for well beyond the 2015 season that the option guarantees just as much a given as his commitment to being an example for kids to get their education.

Newton has made no secret that he wants his relationship with the team and the city to be more than a pitstop on his way to something else. Those close to the 2010 Heisman Trophy winner say the fifth-year option, which guarantees Newton $14.67 million in 2015, won't ever come into play because the team will sign him to a long-term deal before that year is activated.

And here I thought Cam hated playing here, hated the way the team was run, hated the city, hated the fans and couldn't wait till his contract was up to get out of here.

(at least that's what some folks on this board keep telling me)

"Some folks" being like literally one guy?

was this the same guy that was obsessed with Bob Johnson?

 

I don't recall him saying all of that, KT had his moments, but there was truth to some of what he said.

 

Oh it's been more than one guy.

 

I'm sure you could count them on one hand.

 

On the flip side, how about the reactionaries who were ready to trade him just back in October?

The phrase "I won't blame Cam a bit when he leaves" has been quoted on here numerous times.

 

You should probably add context to that, but again, very low in numbers.

 

To go further on that comment, those who share that view are going to an extreme, but their frustration has been set in our organizations inability to adequately build around him on his side of the football. One offensive starter drafted since 2011, a WR corps gutted in a contract year.

 

What exactly is your point with this anyway?

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
