Plus it would be hilarious to retire in a couple of weeks, & see how many of the people insisting the organization needs to let him go right now & that it's just business, suddenly howl about how he's disloyal.

I wouldn't be one of them. If your body is done, it's done. I don't want Cam playing hurt, risking further injury, just because of some misguided sense of loyalty. It wouldn't be good for him, or the Panthers. If Cam is hurt, and I'm not sure he didn't reinjure or further that foot last night, then he needs to be benched until he is healed. If at that point he says, my body is done, I can't do the rehab and constant pain anymore, I'm good with it. Thanks for the many years you've given to this organization, time to move on.

Your not the only one

Kyle Bailey on WFNZ just said he saw the same look in Cam's eyes and face last night during the game and after that Luck had at his press conference 

Definitely concerned about Cam's mental state. He really hasn't looked like he was having fun on the field in a while and he has admitted to battling depression last year. I hope that doesn't come up again.

Actual football question...

I don’t really watch other NFL games than the Panthers.  So, for those of you who do...

Does Cam hold the ball longer than most QB’s?  I know our OL isn’t great, but would guys like Brees, Brady, or hell, even Dalton, Goff, Stafford get killed if they were our QB?

I’m wondering if it is even at LEAST in part because Cam takes longer to go through his reads, and his set up to throw, etc.

I used to only watch the panthers too. Spending time watching other teams that are good was eye opening. It changed my opinion of Cam and they way this entire team plays. This team looks lazy, slow, soft, and directionless compared to NE, chiefs, saints, etc.

Yes, in short (through his entire career) Cam waits until his guy is open before he starts his throw. The good QBs will very often throw before their target is fully open. This is a well documented limitation with Cam. This causes Cam (historically) to hold the ball longer.

Last night it looked like he has laboring a bit to get this long throws out too.

It will be the end of a era if Cam gets released or retires. He has been our greatest QB yet. Just like it was sad to watch Jake in 2009, it is just as sad to watch Cam since November.  Hardly anything to celebrate.

That stadium last night, had sadness that was measurable.   It was desperately trying to will Newton into a performance he could no longer give 

i think it was Golic today who sad ‘Newton has the look of a QB1 who is in pain and tired of all of it and what that brings’.   

He then went on to totally slam the Panthers for ‘patchwork’ offensive line  surrounding him

Yeah we all kept pulling for Cam to just finish one drive. Nobody wants Cam to struggle. We all pay our money to see the team win and pull for everybody and anybody wearing blue. We all watched in dismay as the Williams experience on the left side came unglued. Then to get stopped on the 1 yard line with 1:20 left and only one time out was totally deflating. I haven't seen this many somber exhausted faces as we all trudged out since Cam got here.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
