The Cam Newton Era is not even remotely over and you should feel bad if you think it is

Cam Newton is a fighter. No matter that this team is the new Cleveland Browns, the NFL's laughingstock doormat, or not. Cam does not quit and he won't quit now. 

This is the same guy whose Auburn team was losing 24-0 on the road to Alabama before he led the greatest comeback in NCAA history to win the Iron Bowl.

This is the same guy whose rookie year with the Carolina Panthers was so historic and culturally transcendent, strategies involving the NFL Draft have never been the same.

This is the same guy who carried those Carolina Panthers, back well before we were the New Browns/Lions and the league's worst team with its worst coach, to a 15-1 record and the Most Valuable Player award. Imagine that 20 years ago, when us Panthers fans were excited when we got mentioned on the homepage of CBSSportsLine.com. A Panthers player winning MVP. In spite of Ron Rivera, mind you.

I guess what I'm getting around to is that you shouldn't doubt that Cam Newton will come back stronger from this. I don't know how he will, but he will.

This season has sapped the energy and excitement of every Panthers fan in the world, not to mention every player and coach. We're so dead and hopeless about the fact that we're a cellar-dweller with a historic losing streak, but regardless of how much we're going to suck ass next year. rest easy knowing that Cam will not be the cause of it. He'll be back and will put up good numbers. Save the "what can we get for Cam" threads. 

I'm sorry, but if Cam Newton cannot throw a 55 yard Hail Mary, what hope does this offense have? He hasn't practiced in Weeks and surprise, we keep losing! I love Cam as much as any one else that is a Panther fan but he needs to be given the ability to begin his offseason early. The success of the team in 2019 depends on his health and he doesn't need to be playing when there is no goal to be achieved. 

Unless something is figured out with his shoulder and he can take advantage of ALLLLL the speed we managed to accrue on this offense, we need someone else. He is a generational talent but sometimes the body can't support what the will of the man is. He needs to get an opinion, then a second opinion, then a 3rd and 4th until something viable is done to fix his shoulder. 

Our coaching is fine. It was fine when we were 6-2 and Cam was practicing each and every week. Then Pittsburgh comes, Cam gets knocked around and hasn't practiced since. We haven't won again since that night. This is cyclical with the Panthers and every logical fan knew the best we would do is 8-8. The best part of this is that next season we are due likely for 13-3 based on the history of the team.

You don't trade Joe Montanta without Steve Young waiting in the wings.

Cam is the best qb this team has ever, and may ever seen. He is a once in a generation talent, a HOFer and an MVP.  His best years are NOT behind him.  

The only reason to let go of Cam is because he has regressed below his potential replacement.  That has NOT happened.  

Some want to just leap right out of that frying pan.
