Concerns about Newton's future...

This was in Mike Freeman's article on SI. 

Quote

One NFL assistant coach said it looked as if Newton was experiencing a "Rob Gronkowski-type decline"; the Patriots tight end is also 29 and seemingly in a constant battle to remain healthy enough to play.

In my humber opinion, all positions in all business should be evaluated ongoing.

That said, I do not think that we will be making a change at QB, nor should we, unless it's PROVEN that Cam will not be able to get back to some degree of health.  I do not ever expect him to have the velocity of his youth, but he will need to get healthy enough to make NFL throws.

We have 2 years to see that through.

I would think this is obvious. Any time any player has an injury their future will be in question to varying degrees. I highly doubt we’re at the level of concern that the Colts had with Luck or many team had with Manning, and look how those two turned out.

Man what a double edged sword.

I would hate for him to be let go and then on to make a full recovery a year from now and light it up again with another team.

and at the same time...

I'd hate to keep him, realize in a year his arm is done and the Panthers dragged out rebuilding and finding a replacement.

Mr. Scot you've been howling about Newton's demise with this franchise for the past week. We get it. You want him gone. But incessantly speculating about it doesn't make it so.

This may be the most idiotic thing you've posted in a long time.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Amazing what the prospect of being traded to Carolina will do for contract negotiations.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
