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

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
