Quarterback Cam Newton surprised these young athletes when he showed up to Revolution Park in Charlotte Wednesday. It's park of Dick's Sporting Goods' "Sports Matter" campaign, which helps tackle budget cuts for youth sports programs.

Cam also donated 65 grand to save five local youth teams.

Shouldn't this guy be developing chemistry with his receivers or in the film room studying?  I mean not only does he put himself above the team and go back to school but he has the audacity to pull this stuff and the same shenanigans with the Make a Wish foundation and now this.  So obvious he is a me first kind of guy that will never get it.  OK so his defenders do point out that he did go to the pro bowl in 2 out of 3 years and led the team in rushing and continues to improve year after year but so what...  These people need to stop using facts to get in the way of perception. I am so tired of this.

    • I look at it like get on top of the situation. Stay ahead of it. If it costs you a year of not drafting a starter at number three WR in the first so be it. We need new blood there in 2027 if not 2026, and need to get some OL on rookie deals.   At the same time the big picture is considered, we have a QB that has yet to earn an extension and you can go glass half full if you want but he had about half the good games that he needed to have. Fewer, IMO, but the point is he is not a lock to earn an extension.    Which would really put next year’s number one in play for QB and take OT off the table. So I think it needs to be on the table this year.

    • https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-offensive-line-success-why-building-through-the-nfl-draft-is-the-key   Conclusions drawn This article took a deep dive into evaluating recent offensive line trends regarding the draft and free agency while incorporating team success into the equation. Here are the biggest takeaways:   The best offensive lines in football (PHI, DET, TB) were built through the draft in the early rounds Other teams (most notably LAC) are following the same approach in team building Offensive line is something a team should target in the early rounds (1-3), as the success rate significantly declines in the later rounds both in the short and long-term Offensive tackles have a higher success rate through the draft than interior offensive linemen, regardless of round Acquiring free agent offensive line does have its benefits, particularly for elite units filling one hole. Interior offensive is typically the way to go Top-end offensive line talent is far less likely to be available via trade or free agency compared to other positions year to year, only emphasizing the importance of the draft   My words: we were forced to make some big signings on interior after years of poor OL drafting and neglect. It worked but isnt sustainable. We need to get right. Drafting tackles high is a successful formula. We need to start now to have any hope going forward.
