Newton is a big question mark now, after a poor season for Newton and the Panthers. I tend to pass it off as a year in which any quarterback would struggle, seeing that both his offensive line and receiver corps were denuded after the 2013 season. If I’m Carolina GM Dave Gettleman, I may just let Newton play out his final season, at $14.7 million, and see where he is this time next year. “Cam is the most interesting guy right now,’’ said Polian. “When it comes down to it, he hasn’t proven much yet, except he can get hurt. He’s got some tread off his tire already.’’

 

Thank Bill Polian, we'll never forget everything you did for this team, putting them in cap hell then bailing because you got butt blasted over not having the right title on the door of your office.

Uhhhh?  Don't really understand how to comment.  My first thought is that too many variables against Cam's style of play to make a judgement.  Yes, he has been hurt and I think that has hurt his play more than the front office lets on, but the biggest problem is the line and second biggest is receivers and then injury.  Just my opinion.

Yep. OL, then WRs, then his injury.....then he plays for a OC whose style doesn't highlight QB play and also goes into games with a "you know what is coming, try to stop it approach"

He says Cam hasn't proven much, as if 2011-2013 did not exist.

Polian hasn't watched Cam's career.

These talking heads have comments on everything. Impossible for them to comment in the manner they do on virtually everything.....bc they don't sit and watch what is and has been going on with players.

As simple as the towel on the head thing. Every talking head equates it to pouting. None of them ever figured out Cam does it up by 21 and in a groove. It isn't an emotional display....but a sports routine

The irony of the Cam being hurt meme: He's only missed one game his entire NFL career, and that was a game the Genius Rivera decided to sit Cam in.

So now Newton's being criticized for playing hurt? When, his entire career he hasn't been hurt, until the OL went to piss, along with the play calling??

Tony Romo plays hurt, Big Ben plays hurt, Brady broke a leg, Manning neck is screwed on with bolts....

It is football. Guys mobile or not....all get hurt

Yup. That's football.

 

Polian's a tool. That's all we need to know.

 

Plus, I love when national media discusses Newton or the Panthers, Newton gets 95% of the criticism and analysis as if the Head Coach, OC, and other players don't exist/contribute to the teams year and Newton stats.

 

Now we know these guys don't actually watch the games, or even care about the Panthers and Newton if they did. But the irony isl they don't even try to give that appearance, that they watch/know the team when criticizing Newton.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
