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

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By frankw · Posted

      Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is.

      I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
