Would Newton be in the right to refuse to play?

As long as Byron Bell continues to start?

Obviously he wouldn't, but it makes me wonder. We routinely hear every offseason off players riding off into the sunset in the midst of their prime because they have to think of their future. Our very own Jordan Gross did it this past year. It makes me wonder if a player would be in the right do such a thing given what Cam is facing this season. The front office failed him horribly, and I don't know that I have ever seen a player as outmatched by the opposition as Byron Bell is on a weekly basis.

Again, I don't think that he would-but I've reached a point where I feel sorry for him as a man and can't help but wonder if he'd be in the right to look out for his long term health. Byron Bell had no business being appointed the guy, and it was apparent to everyone but the front office who were enamored with Bell's get rowdy chants and aw shucks blue collar attitude-but those things don't win football games.

So my only question is, do you feel he'd be justified?

I had always thought the idea of him leaving was ridiculous.

But Im starting to believe its possible. Our team is more concerned with handing out freebies to good ole boys like Byron Bell than with going after what really matters- talent.

Its hard to believe the ultra competitve Cam wouldnt have a problem with that.

      Evero HC requests!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Evero to the Raiders makes zero sense unless the OC he's pitching them is a failed HC who doesn't have interest in trying for it again. They're a team about to draft a QB #1 overall, developing him is job #1 for the new coach/staff.  Hiring a DC with a young up and coming OC wouldn't make any sense, because then you risk losing that OC to a HC job after maybe just a year or two and that young QB has to change system, play caller, etc. It's why hiring an offensive minded coach makes the only sense.  The Raiders have to make the right hire/pick with this HC hire and #1 pick combo because of that division they're in, it's a gauntlet and you can't screw up this opportunity.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      1. Sadly, it's just too early to tell with Icky. And the draft will have come and gone before we have anything, FA, too probably. Njiman was good, but there's dollars to be invested there as well. This is really our biggest puzzle to figure out. And Moton on the other flank is getting long in the tooth, too.  2. Coker: Pay the man WR2 money.  3. Most WRs take three years before you really know what you've got. We'll know for sure by the end of this one and he's still on a relatively inexpensive rookie contract. Now if someone comes calling for a good, good trade... 4. This is the make or break for good teams vs bad teams. And depth development is essential. We've had a bit of that but there isn't a spot on our line that doesn't have worries except for maybe on guard.  5. I think you draft the best ILB, the smartest one in the first round and don't look back. People lost their poo here on this board when we "wasted" a pick on Luke Kuechly.  6. Yeah, I think Chuba is a workhorse. But we need to be more decisive in his use. Still not sure Rico doesn't come back next season, too. He'll get to see the marketplace first, though, and we'll offer similar numbers to him.

      I've grown to enjoy Mike & Tripp, even more so after listening to the ESPN, TNT, TBS hacks who, for whatever reason, seemingly don't know dick about the Canes.
