"Cam Newton is Overrated" - Stephen A Smith

Damn I wish the regular season would start so all the "experts" could eat the poo sandwich a healthy Cam will serve.

All we gotta do is come out and lay the smack down on the Rams in Week 1 and everyone will be singing a different tune.

Screw SAS he just likes the shock-and-awe comments. The only quarterbacks I would take over Cam right now: Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Patrick Mahomes. He was on pace for an MVP year pre-injury. He's a generational talent and I'm tired of the hate he catches. Tom Brady would have retired in his 5th year in the same teams Cam has played with. He would be broken and injured beyond belief.

Taken from my video comment.

What haters don’t get is that Cam is every bit the passer that any of the other guys are. The difference is that if you had the gifts of Cam Newton you would believe you could make every play like he does too. He hasn’t dink and dunked until recently because he’s so much bigger than everyone else that he thinks he can make the 3rd and long play consistently.  

 

Only recently have the Panthers really given him a plethora of weapons. If you were Cam you would run for a first down instead of throwing it to a shoddy receiver who can’t catch and can’t be relied on. He wants to win he doesn’t give a poo about  the stats. He’s not actively thinking about espn analysts comparing his passing stats because he’s trying to win at all costs.

I don’t think his processing of the defenses or reads needs changing. It’s his mindset as a passer that needs to change.

    • That is just Panthers history pain speaking.
    • From what I gather, sure it allows you more room in that you can manipulate the cap more due to smaller prorated amounts to fit salaries in, but for cap purposes, you're still on the hook for the money at the end of the day.    "ChatGPT You said: What are the advantages for NFL teams to sign larger signing bonuses? ChatGPT said: NFL teams often use large signing bonuses as a strategic tool in contracts. While they cost real cash up front, they offer several advantages, especially when it comes to salary cap management, player retention, and negotiation leverage. Here's a breakdown of the benefits: ✅ 1. Salary Cap Flexibility Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract (up to 5 years) for salary cap purposes. This allows teams to spread out the cap hit, even if the player receives the money immediately. Example: A $20M signing bonus on a 4-year deal counts only $5M/year against the cap. ✅ 2. Attracting Top Talent Players love signing bonuses because they're guaranteed money paid up front. Offering a bigger signing bonus can sweeten the deal without inflating yearly salaries. ✅ 3. Front-Loading Real Cash, Not Cap Teams with strong cash flow can pay big bonuses now while minimizing the immediate cap hit. Useful for teams trying to build around rookie QB contracts or with flexible cash budgets. ✅ 4. Locking in Key Players Larger bonuses make it harder for a player to be released early due to dead cap consequences. This can create more job security for the player and roster continuity for the team. ✅ 5. Leverage in Restructures Big signing bonuses create future cap hits via proration. Teams can later restructure deals (e.g., convert salary to bonus) to create even more cap space. ✅ 6. Competitive Edge In free agency, a team offering more guaranteed cash up front often wins the bidding war, even if the total contract value is lower than another team's. ⚠️ Key Caveat: Large signing bonuses increase dead cap risk if the player is cut or traded early."   I think that roster bonuses can be a useful tool if you're trying to keep players in by manipulating numbers and spreading the hit over time, but I don't think that it's something that you want to use unless it's "necessary." I don't know that you want to get into signing rookies on roster bonuses, as the bust rate is relatively high.    
    • not even if that team in New Orleans disbands before the first game.  Saw one 2026 mock that had them drafting first next year.
