When did Cam first give the ball to a kid?

Wasn't this the time that Lafell got mad at him for giving the ball away? He'd already given several away when this happened.

I remember that as well. LaFell wanted to keep a ball but Cam made him give it away. I don't recall the significance of it (it wasn't his first TD or anything), but Cam was like naw go give it away.

 

Which makes me wonder. What balls will be kept during the SB, and which ones will be given away. Will Cam keep his first SB TD ball, or give it away? Same goes with all the other guys. I'm actually quite interested to find out.

I see Cam giving his balls away, wouldn't think bad of anyone that didn't.

Pretty sure it was the longest touchdown pass in the history of the Panthers. 

 

I do think he was giving balls away before that Bucs game in 2011 though. I remember the Panthers opened up minicamp to the public in off season 2012. We got to see rookie Luke Kuechly intercept Cam Newton and take it to the house with Cam running him down. Every time the offense scored in that minicamp they threw the balls into the stands.

Sad things is he's been doing this since he was a rookie and it's taken 5 YEARS for the media to finally notice. They'd much rather talk about his lack of accuracy, his "maturation" (tired of hearing that btw), or showing pics of his outfit during his press conference. 

Would be nice having an experienced writer with more ambition to put our players in positive light unlike most of the ones we have to endure with.

I can't blame him or the players either way.  You don't get many of these but it would make a great story to the fan he gives it to and media.  there's two other options in play as well.  The NFL may want to keep it for Canton, it is Super Bowl 50 afterall, or perhaps the Panthers keep it and auctions them all off while giving the proceeds to charity.  I'm pretty interested to see this as well.  I'm hoping I don't have to wait long to find out.

I think there was audio....I think it was both of their longest TD of their careers.

Cam gave away the ball that tied Steve Young.  Gave away the ones after it.  Not sure he cares about balls.

I'm not sure when it started exactly, but in sure he was doing it his rookie year because I remember he gave away a record setting ball that they then had to get back from the fan and give them something else.

Think it was the TD ball from rushing record for a QB that he gave away

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
