This team has gotten rid of the 4 closest people to Cam on the team. Joe Webb, Leonard Johnson, Philly Brown, and now Kelvin Benjamin. It also doesn't help with how close he is with Ryan Kalil and him not being out there.

I know many of you are going to say it shouldn't matter, and this franchise should not be building the team to appease Cam. You are half right. Cam is a different type of guy. He beats to his own drumb and only lets a certain few into his close circle. You can see him clearly struggling with the media and the way he has handled himself this year.

Usually people blame it on losing, but the team is 5-3. I believe not having Webb there, not having Philly there, not being able to go home and hang out with Leonard is really taking a toll on him. I am nervous it's only going to get worse with the Benjamin trade.

This franchise has never prioritized helping Cam out. The year he was drafted, they drafted one offensive player, Lee Zeimba. They always just hoped his raw talent would take over. Just this past Sunday Cam went on and on about how great Benjamin is how much he loves having him on his team. Then just 3 days later they send Benjamin packing for draft picks.

You can all scream and yell and tell me how this makes the offense better. I do not necessarily believe it, but at the same time I cannot tell you that you're wrong. I am more concerned that we are going to see a huge dip in Cams production and demeanor from here on out.

Cam isn’t in the long term plans for the team anymore. He will be gone after his contact is up, if not sooner.

I don't agree with this or believe this, but if this is true then the Carolina Panthers are single most dysfunctional franchise in the NFL.

Browns

But I agree. If Cam doesn’t finish his career here, something is seriously wrong.

Yep that’s the real back breaker in this trade.

Pissing Cam off or taking away his best friend on the team isn’t worth any amount of draft picks.

A checked out Cam will cripple this team 

He’s gonna need to nut up. Not saying that’s right or fair just the reality of the situation.

I hear you but do you think that’s going to happen?

These guys are humans too and Cam continues to watch as this organization does everything in its power to handcuff him.

Wrong or right I just don’t see how he hasn’t said “f*ck this” yet

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
