Cam is clearly still hurt.

How are you this bitter at 7 am?

With fans like you who find silver linings in his failure, why bother?

You don't care about winning. You only care about gloating that one of your players failed in the face of adversity. Losing is worth it as long as you get to say I told you so and take another shot.

Honestly, after last night, I think it's obvious that Cam doesn't want to play the game anymore. His body language in and out of the huddles, on the sidelines, even in the pressers is a guy just there to get the pay checks and to not get hurt. The game isn't his big love anymore, there are so many things higher on his list of priorities now and all of them are weighing heavily against getting hurt again or even just making the superhuman efforts that made him SuperCam before.

That fourth and one and that last touchdown attempts told the whole story. Cam would have never missed that fourth down conversion before -- he wasn't going to be dragged down in the flat like that. And on that last touchdown, there would have never been a question of who would carry it over the goal line.

But Cam has no threat to be a runner anymore and isn't even a threat to move around in the pocket. He isn't controlling the tempo of the game, he's just trying to get through it. And his threat to run at any moment did more to open up those long strikes than anything one of his receivers did. And then, he just has no fire, no fire at all, on top of this.

I'm sorry, but maybe it is time for him to hang up the cleats and make the most of his brand. The fashion world awaits.

Can't disagree with you, I miss this Cam.  He just seems worn down after years of incompetent coaching and o line play

Cam more than anyone else chose the way he has played throughout his career. Why is anyone surprised at the outcome?

Because the actual injury didnt come from the way he played his career or him running the football but an actual blind side hit in the pocket on a pocket pass. Not cams fault at all. All RON.

The coaches could have changed that.

Instead, they reinforced it, and you can make a pretty good argument that they exploited it.

The point being made is like Cam injured his shoulder being cam recklessly throwing his body in harm's way. That will be the way people remember it. But that isn't at all what happened if we go back and look at the actual injury. It was either that dive to make a tackle during that one interception the year before or that nobody picked up t.j watt hit against the steelers..

Blah, blah, blah, it's the Red, blah, blah, blah.

Cam is clearly trash and needs to be benched.  The injury is a piss poor excuse.  He's been saying nonstop he's not injured.  As far as I'm concerned, he's not injured, and the fans are looking for an excuse.  He sucks.

I go back and watch that NFCCG and ask myself, “Where is THAT Cam Newton?” And the answer is, he’s not there anymore. The Super Bowl headhunting and more of the same the next year by the Denver fuging Broncos ruined him. He’s a broken weapon, and not one that can be repaired. There is zero chance of this team winning a SB without a legitimate franchise QB, and sadly, Cam is no longer in that discussion.

He’s also 30 years old and has taken a million hits.  No longer a running threat regardless of which particular body part hurts

Yep.  Hes not that 21 year old athletic freak anymore.  Hes a 30 year old, injured broken down man.  He has lost what made him special to begin with.  If he was just a pocket passer coming out of college, he would have been a 3rd round pick.

Sickening. Rivera basically gave the League the green light to assault Cam. Congrats, Ron.

He’s beginning to look less like Cam Newton in his post-game pressers and more like a Steven Tyler impersonator.

I was at the infamous Carr somersault game against the Bucs in 2007.  That and DeAngelo scoring to save a shutout with triple zeroes on the clock were the highlights of the game.

I also remember leaving the game with a bunch of other sunburnt dejected Panthers fans and this dipshit in Bucs trash and his bratty little kid were leaving the club section and getting on the ramps.  The kid was yelling "Go Bucs, Carolina sucks" at us.  What could any of us say to that, though?  Getting owned by a 7 year old is, I think, a fitting allegory for being a fan of this team.

From Jeremy Bergman on NFL.com...

"Newton has been one of the least mobile quarterbacks in the league so far."

Ever think you'd hear that?
