Cam Newton didn't change after his Accident. Everything else did.

Check out this very good piece by one of the best beat writers this team has. Bill Voth, right here.

I’ve been covering Newton since he came to the Carolinas, and the truth is, he had already grown into a leadership role well before his truck rolled.

"I haven't changed,” he said Wednesday. “The people in that locker room know I haven't changed. The people upstairs know I haven't changed. As a matter of fact, they haven't changed, either. It's just guys growing up and seeing more football and understanding what to do in different circumstances. That's just overall growth."

 

 

This is what good journalism looks like.

Yeah... the whole "he has matured narrative" is worn the fug out.

Like he said in his presser, he hasn't "matured" he has just gained experience and knows the QB position better 

To me, he has matured as a football player, but otherwise seems to be the same ole Cam he has always been

      2025 Schedule Release - post 'em when you find 'em

      IDK, the NFL will want to showcase Cam Wards debut. But I've also seen rumors that the Titans will open against Denver, not NO.

      Trevin Wallace - PFF Breakout Nominee

      I'm impressed with the way Tillis is structuring the books. The team is currently spending more on non-premium positions like iOL and S, but that’s because they’ve got rookie deals locked in at several key premium spots: QB: Bryce Young LT: Ikem Ekwonu EDGE: Nic Scourton, Princely Umanmielen WR: Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker The only veterans at those premium positions on second contracts are Taylor Moton, Adam Thielen, and the recently extended Jaycee Horn. Given that setup, it makes sense to allocate bigger dollars toward non-premium roles - especially if those pieces support the development and success of the younger core. Investing in iOL helps our young QB. Strengthening the DL helps both of our young EDGE guys and our high-paid CB. I can see the vision. Fingers crossed that it works!

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      I don’t know why the tanking concept is not understood. Coaches and players are not involved at all. It’s always the front office. If we had actually traded players like we should have back in 2022, we would have effectively tanked and gotten a better pick than 9 so we lost all the draft picks to get Young. We traded CMC. We should have traded Burns for the haul and taken GB’s offer of a 1st for Moore. We could have easily traded anyone else. We see it in every sport, every year. Trade deadlines where bad teams give up current assets for future assets. Unfortunately, we were stupid and decided we only wanted to trade CMC for peanuts even though we clearly had a plan to go after Young. We were dumb and there is no way you can tell me that we shouldn’t have tanked via trading away Burns, Moore and anyone else. We’d be a much better team right now had we had a fire sale and tanked the 2022 season. Trading away your top players for future draft picks or prospects (baseball) is tanking. Shoeless Joe and the black Sox is not tanking. That’s point shaving/betting on your sport/team. Again, I just don’t get why this concept is so hard to get when MLB, NFL and NBA teams trade players for future assets every single year and usually end up with better draft slots (or at least odds since Hornets never win the lottery).
