Sporting News Believes We Should Rest Cam Until Philly Game

 Cam Newton is broken, and things around him are breaking.

Before it's too late, the Panthers need to help their quarterback play well and get whole again ... by not playing him at all for a couple weeks.

With Carolina at 2-1 fresh off Sunday's 34-13 home beatdown at the hands of NFC South-rival New Orleans and facing AFC East juggernaut New England next, it would seem like the wrong time to think about resting Newton. But continuing to play him would be ignoring how he's not fully recovered from his right shoulder surgery and is further hampered by a bad ankle.

I'm not really opposed to that since it could pay off in the long run. Unfortunately, we don't have a good backup. I don't think we can be competitive against any good team if DA starts. We could dig ourselves into a season long hole if we sit Cam now.

If this is the offense we're going to be running then having a big time playmaker like Cam isn't exactly necessary. If we're just looking to dump the ball off within 10 yards every play with the odd downfield shot well then rest Cam. 

It would never happen but I'd much rather have Kaaya back there over DA. Kaaya will make some rookie throws but he can stand back there and make the right reads. DA has been so bad I don't want that guy anywhere near the field. 

If Matt Kalil wasn't so f'n awful then this probably never gets brought up but Cam can't keep taking these kind of beatings. Cam deserves better than this sh*t and as much as I admire him for playing through the amount of pain I can only assume he's in I rather not see him ruin the rest of his career because of the r*tards around him.

I'm with you. I'd rather have Kaaya than DA as the backup

It all comes back to Matt Kalil...

Kaaya is decent (like almost any QB) if given proper protection but his mechanics go to sh*t when pressured. I watched Kaaya's 4th preseason game today and outside of a horrible INT in the endzone he looked pretty good for a 22 year old rookie. He doesn't try to do too much and makes solid reads.

But like I said... Matt Kalil, and if it wasn't for Kalil we're most likely not even having this discussion. So damn frustrating.

Yeah. I was hoping he could at least just be average but it looks like he won't even be that. He looks remmers bad.  We're fuged. Cam deserves better

Hard to argue about resting Cam. This is why I blew a gasket when we released Webb. Unfortunately, DA is not the guy he once was: Durable, dependable, capable backup. Now, it seems, he's almost as much a wildcard as Cam is right now. At least when Webb was in, the team responded. sooo....

Not sure about Kaaya. Don't really know much about him.

Watch Luck come back on fire, because they're waiting until he's ready to come back. Seems likely we forced Cam out there too early, and it's hindering his healing process. Granted, you can't blame injury for all his struggles. His decision making, and read progression as well as pocket presence have been terrible in addition to his accuracy.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
