Cam Newton launches online fundraiser for 2016 season

You cut off some:

 

For its fourth year in a row, the Cam Newton Foundation has launched its “Super Cam Club,” the fundraiser that encourages fans to donate between $5 and $50 for each rushing and passing touchdown the quarterback gets during regular and postseason games.

After each game, Newton’s passing and rushing touchdown numbers will be combined for a total number of touchdowns. Those who pledge receive gifts like autographed pictures and jerseys at the end of the season, the foundation said in a statement this week.

The foundation is encouraging people to sign up by Sept. 8, the date of the Panthers’ regular season opener against the Denver Broncos.

The funds benefit programs for young people and education in Mecklenburg County. More information can be found at www.cam1newton.com/super-cam-club.

Newton’s foundation has donated over $310,000 directly to Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools since 2012.

      If his seat was hot enough for him to be fired 6 games in then you should've just fired him when you made the decision to draft a QB #1 overall. I don't think you go from "this is definitely our guy" to "you're fired in 6 games". Seems like there would be had to have been doubts going in and that's not a recipe for success for a rookie QB.

      I like to use the analogy that a high draft pick QB is like a new supercar. Great to have one except too often, one forgets that they are high maintenance. A bad team secures their car under a cheap tent, puts regular gas in the tank, services it at Pep Boys, and then blames the car for not working properly and proceeds to get another one.  At the least, Ward getting sacked 25 times already is a massive red flag. If you can't protect your rookie QB, you do not put him out there. Otherwise, it's taking your supercar and immediately spinning it right into a tree. A few survive that rough of a start. Most do not.

      I don't think there's any one size fits all answer. I think you play the rookie when A) you think he's ready and B) you think there's a reasonable expectation that the overall situation provides him an opportunity to be successful, not necessarily in terms of wins and losses but just in terms of giving him a fighting chance with surrounding talent. If you rush either one it's probably not gonna be pretty.
