Thinking out loud

[Jeremy Igo]

If things go down the road they look to be going, obviously Cam won't be getting paid anywhere near top dollar either to stay here or anywhere else. Just too big a risk.

I also don't see Cam as a guy that wants to be paid less than top dollar or compete for a starting job somewhere.

Guy has made a lot of money, is an entrepreneur, has a young family and sadly has a body that may not allow him to play the way he wants to play.

I really think he may retire after the season.

[Steve_Smith_Sr.]

I agree with that.  Can't see him anywhere else, but also can't see him continuing with the Panthers either.

I wouldn't be surprised.

And I absolutely wouldn't blame him.

Watch Ron Rivera outlast Cam Newton as a Carolina Panther.

[Harbingers]

Seems only logical, I don’t see cam wanting to leave the game without a ring though.

Unless he can no longer pass a physical, there will be at least a couple of teams that will be interested in him and one of them might be the team that beat us last night.

I hope when he retires he takes a poo on Riveras desk then slams his face into it and walks out the door.

A lot can be said about the mistakes that led our franchise to this position.

 

However, at least we didn't extend Cam for millions of dollars before the season.

He's not getting one bro. The wheels have fell off

At this point I doubt he makes through the season  as our starter. And after watching these performances who would pick him up? Retirement might be his only option if he doesn't play much better.

I dont see him retiring after this season, but may ride out his contract throught next year and do it.

 

We heard Lucks emotional presser how just constant rehab took the toll.  Cam Clearly still isnt rigjt and could see him feeling the same.  

 

 

But I could see him letting Tepper etc know that he plans to retire after next year to get a heada up on finding a replacement.  But try to get 1 last shot

Yeah, there is zero shot IMO of Cam becoming a RGIII or even a Joe Flacco.   I think when his ride is over he walks away. 

Cam said in his presser he had a lot of soul searching to do.  Odd way to describe studying film and practicing harder.   But to play devil's advocate to what I am alluding to, Cam in pressers says a lot of phrases that are kinda off.
