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.

      QBs that would cost next to nothing and are better than anything we currently have.

      By strato · Posted

      I am no football savant as has been demonstrated here over and over, but I saw it.  I went for years doing the mock draft thing and researching the players that we might get around our pick, time consuming stuff. And we would get to the draft and trade the pick. All that time, wasted.  So I quit doing that. Also realized I was not a scout and would never be a scout and went to looking the videos and reports After  we picked a guy.  Maybe I would look at the 1st round, but quit that too and just looked after we picked.    When they did that trade I saw Bryce and his size and just ruled him out. Then it got to yeah they are probably going to take him, I relented and looked at some video and got to his pro day. It took me all of a few minutes to see the issues. The footwork. The arm. And the tape of games? The backyard style. I knew, what can I say?  (Also, went down the physical checklist, not a single plus attribute on the NFL level. Arm, speed, size, etc, nothing to offset the negatives. nothing)  I think it was easy for me because I had not watched a single game he played in college,and wasn’t drawn in by the hype. Had no preconceived notions and just looked at it pretty clinically.  I got in here and everyone was going “but look at what he did in college! It is the SEC, if he can do it in the SEC he can do it in the NFL!” Couldn’t reason with hardly anyone.  I don’t think I could tell you which guy would succeed between two prototypical guys with great arms and athleticism, and have no special insight into any of that. My one calling in football scouting was to see the real about what we were about to do. And you still don’t know for sure until they get in a real game in the NFL.

      Miss Bryce sorely is possibly the most hilarious statement I have read on the Huddle in quite some time.

      He did only throw 1 pass 20+ in that game. I think he is still struggling to adjust to the NFL. At Alabama he was able to extend plays and play backyard football. That's not only not the style of offense we have been running but his physical skills don't lend themselves to that style of play at this level.  So, the amount of issues he actually has to clean up are WAAAAAY more than I anticipated as a guy that had Bryce #1 on my board in that draft class.  I am just not seeing a reasonable path for him to clean it all up and develop in a reasonable timeframe
