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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
