That's just not a viable option. And not only because we don't have a good veteran backup, but also because I have a hard time believing that a coach and GM who really need a good year to show the new owner but they deserve to stay are going to be willing to sit Newton down unless one of his legs falls off.

What's best for the franchise and what's best for Ron and hurney... well normally they are 2 different things. But in this case I'm not so sure. Newton clearly isn't right. You weren't even able to muster one touchdown with him. Not to mention the few picks he throw and some negated. With the blueprint bowled drew up tonight that will surely be followed you have seen cams limitations.

I'm not entirely sure your not better off just rolling the dice with allen or Grier... your passing game can't get much worse.. your chances to win would roll as they are now on CmC.

Cam has some amazing gifts in his size and athletic mobility. But for whatever reason, maybe he is trying to stay healthy to get a future big contract or he is still injured, he is not using those gifts. He is trying to be something that he is not. Unless he gets back to doing things the way he used to with the gifts he was given, he will not be very successful. IMO, this lies on Norv and Scott Turner. They have been trying to change Cam's mechanics since they got here. It's not going to work. I just don't think that Ron has the balls to fire them.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
